    Toshiba 62" DLP VS. JVC 61" HD ILA

    Jerry.....After being a long time Sony believer, I bought the 55' grand vega the beginning of the year right before the Super Bowl....and I am sorry to say that I was highly dissapointed. The T.V. was nowhere near the quality that I had been impressed with over the years from Sony. I took it...

    Broke my leg.

    Probably not going to happen since E* bought Rainbow 1 and the uplink center. But you never know maybe they will carry it in the next year or so. I am a retailer for E* and D*, I have D* myself, but when I called D* retail care center about the VOOM channels they said that they are going to...

    Toshiba 62" DLP VS. JVC 61" HD ILA

    I don't know where you heard that the JVC has a loud fan, but we have a 61" and a 52" HD-ILA and have had the same ones in here for the last 7 months. No fan noise or any other off the wall noises coming from the sets. The new ILA's have 4 color chips now, one of each red, green, yellow, and...

    How To Use Your Voom Dish With Dish Network..

    O.K. guys I think we have this figured out..... To be able to use your VOOM dish at 61.5 for hi-def, in conjunction with a dish 500 for standard channels without having to purchase another dish, all you need to have an installer bring is an SW21 switch. They run a line from the 61.5 dish to...

    Voom's free switchover offer to Dish far from free...

    Well I am glad you got what you wanted, and for just getting the HD package that price sounds just about right. A retailer or sub contractor will be doing your install and they only get re-imbursement on the equipment if there is a regular package (AT60 or higher) involved.

    you don't necessarily have to sign up with a 1 year commitment, but some retailers may require it. But with the to 60 and the hd package, you are still paying less than you were with VOOM....it would only be $47/mo. plus $5 for any additional receivers. but I would definitely ask your retailer...

    You should be able to just use the VOOM dish to read 61.5, however you may need to get a new LNB. A retailer can definitely help you with that. But I talked to retail services the other day and they said that the Voom channels were going to be on sat 110, I don't know if they are going to move...

    VOOMSTER I AM SORRY YOU WERE MISLEAD!! There is no such thing as charging you $200 for another dish...that $200 is for the 942. Call a retailer....I can't stress it enough.

    Yes you can get the equipment from the retailers. After the installation they are supposed to call in to Dish and activate your system for you. At that time whatever programming package you have chosen will be activated. The only thing is that you will have to get at least the AT 60 for $31.99...

    Voom's free switchover offer to Dish far from free...

    OK guys here's the deal....... DO NOT CALL DISH!!!!!!! The reason for this is that the people there do not know what is going on half of the time and you get a different answer about stuff every time you call. As a retailer for them I get the same thing. What you need to do is to call a...
