    Thanks, that "splains" it.

    No Skeeters on EquatorHD!!!!

    Nice Avatar, Sean. Do you have a contact at EquatorHD to talk to about the noise? They've been on the air almost a year, there should be no excuse for this. I still hold firm that the noise is much reduced from what it was. Yes, the "Over" series is still noisey, but not nearly as bad as it...

    Idea: DVR Early Sign-Up

    I guess I should have the Portland Trailblazers over to watch my screen. :D

    For what it's worth...

    Ditto! Plus I get 7 HD OTA. All this for a mere $19.95/month, I wonder what that COX cable bill will be after the honeymoon is over? :D And let's not forget that Dish will add the other 11 channels by next year. :yes

    Dish / VOOM deal ( NO DEAL )

    Damn, truggy0, I'm calling ABC to get you on Extreme Makeover. :D

    No Skeeters on EquatorHD!!!!

    I believe you Sean, but 90% of the noise that was on Equator when it showed on Voom is no longer there on Dish, so what does that mean? I do see a touch of noise, but it is drastically reduced. Just watch Smart Travels when they show an interior of a cathedral or any show with forest scenes...

    Voom on Dish isn't Voom

    I'm not sure about the SuperDish and the 811, they suse the DishPro LNB's, which I am not familiar with, I have the older legacy gear that uses the sw21. If you had a 6000 then you could do what you describe. "Enjoying crystal clear HD on my 8' screen from Dish, regardless of what the Cable...

    Voom on Dish isn't Voom

    I'm enjoying the heck out of this new package. About the only channels I ever watched regulary on Voom were: Monsters, Rave & Rush, so I'm set. I think $5 is a steal, Dish charges $10 for their HD Pack and it only has 5 channels. Once you guys get hooked up to 61.5 and the HD Pack, you also get...

    Voom on Dish isn't Voom

    Gill, I'd love to have you pop on down for a visit. I'm always more than happy to demo my system. It's actually quite simple, I have 2 dishes, one Dish 500 that receives 110 & 119, the other at 61.5. I use a switch21 (2 into 1) to tie the 2 dishes together and run a single coax into my 6000. Of...

    Dish / VOOM deal ( NO DEAL )

    I'm an existing Dish sub and they offered me an 811 for $100. Call back and try again, it's sad but sometimes you have to play CSR roulette. Maybe since you are reactivating it's a different deal for you.

    Voom on Dish isn't Voom

    All I can say is the PQ rocks! I don't watch SD (other than SD digital OTA) so that is a mute point to me. I now pay $22/month for nothing but HD. $10: HDPack $5: Voom10 $2: Extended warranty $5: No SD programming package fee ESPNHD TNTHD DiscoveryHD HDNET HDNET Movies HDNEWS...

    Dish passes through DD 5.1

    The PQ is very good. Hey Gill, does Seattle have HD radio yet?

    No Skeeters on EquatorHD!!!!

    Sean, I watched a Smart Travels on Equator and it was solid, no noise at all and on Voom, Smart Travels looked absolutely awful, so I do not think the Eye Over series will suffer, but we shall see. This morning, there was a Smart Travels on HDNET and Equator at the same time. I flipped between...

    Marcel, how about "I kinda be Voomin again"? ;)

    Dish passes through DD 5.1

    Cool! All the Voom10 are DD 5.1, way to go Dish for not mucking up this very important feature. :D The channels look awesome. Yes, Gill, they pass the DarrellP test. ;)

    No Skeeters on EquatorHD!!!!

    WooHoo!!! Dish does it right! Looks like the problem was on the Voom end, EquatorHD looks fabulous on Dish. :D

    Voom's Dead

    I have them! I had me EPG on All Subbed and when I switched to All Channels, they showed up, WOOHOO! I be Voomin again.

    That's what they said in Seattle back in the 60's when Boeing was about to go tits up. ;)

    PQ on VOOM tonight...is it just...

    Gill, I think the Voom10 will live up to my standards. On Dish, DiscoveryHD and ESPNHD are 3 channels/transponder and they look great. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the Voom 10 looks as good. BTW, I just signed up with Dish for the Voom 10 but they are not yet active.

    Who's staying up until Zero hour tonight?

    I unplugged my sat cable as soon as it went dark just in case they sent a kill OTA signal. I am now signed up with the Voom10 on Dish but there is no programming active yet.

    Voom's Dead

    I just signed up for the Voom 10 with Dish, but I am not receiving any programming yet. The acquarium on the Demo channel is stunning.

    What was the last thing you watched?

    I watched Aimelee until it was over at 11:45 P.S.T. then tuned to HDNEWS expecting some kind of announcement, but the screen just went dark with a "no signal" screen.

    I just signed up for the Voom 10 with Dish

    But I am not yet receiving them. I installed my sw21 and did a check switch but the channels are not showing up yet. :mad: I see the Demo channel and can tune it in, it is currently showing an acquarium, which looks amazing. I hope they show up by the time I wake up later today. ;)

    Only 1? Come on Timm, have a few more brewskis. :D Hopefully later today, I will have the Dish Voom 10 active.

    PQ on VOOM tonight...is it just...

    Gill, I concur, I watched Micheal McDonald on Rave and Aimelee on Divine and the PQ was outstanding. Too little too late I guess. I also browsed the SD channels around 9 pm and they also looked much improved from the last time I checked.
