    What about purchased receivers??

    I'm with you as well. Just got done buying another box not even a month ago, and was told there would be no issue. Really ticks me off because I was trying to just lease one, but since I purchased the other 2, I had to buy it. I'll keep tabs of what you guys want to do. Seems to me, there...

    I'm getting 342 SUNSPRTS in Indiana.

    I'm getting it as well in Georgia. Surprisingly..... I wouldn't count on it being on for too long.

    Help with upcoming move

    Thanks Stone Man and The Timm. I think it might be more of an issue with their computer system than anything. It is possible I am the first to try this with the amount of subs. Always been a fan of your posts...... Now if we could just send all of the Trolls to Syria (where they can fit in...

    Help with upcoming move

    Can you lease a box if you already own?? I am one of the charter members that actually paid for the equipment. I have had 2 rooms since I signed up. My question is, in the new house we are moving into, we are adding a box. It made sense to me (since I am paying the movers fee) to try and add...

    Voom Billing

    Jamesd- The problem with the install is not related to Voom. Unfortunately the easiest way to install for most satellite companies are to contract out to local install companies. The issue is truly with the installer themselves. You may want to call the installer the did yours and give him...

    Calling back to Voom

    I have the Hitachi 50v500. From what I read it got great reviews. I think it is pretty nice but does have some flaws. It seems like I can see the make up of the lcd screens in certain color schemes. For example, on Worldsport, the grass accentuates the make up of the screen. You can...

    Calling back to Voom

    To answer your question Ken, both boxes have the update. One has never reported back with or without the update. Sean, I'm not quite sure I understand. Won't we need the phone line? I happen to live in a house that was built in the early 1900's and only has 2 phone jacks in very unusable...

    Calling back to Voom

    The second box still won't report back. Sean, do you think I need to get this box swapped out? It has never run a successful report back even though I can hear it dial out and it is talking to the 800 number. The other box I have will report back and is using the same model wireless phone...

    Calling back to Voom

    I have 2 boxes that are hooked up to wireless phone jacks. 1 works, 1 doesn't. Although I haven't checked it since the software update. Let me try it. Will be back. Seth

    DVI question

    It is faint and only noticable in certain lighting. I haven't seen it happen in the last couple of days. If I see it again, I will see if a picture will show it. Will let you know. Thanks, Seth

    DVI question

    Prince- I have the Hitachi LCD projection and am running DVI. I have the box set to switch automatically and have had no issues so far. I did however swap out the cable Voom provided for a Monster Cable DVI cable. So far, the only thing I did notice is that it is harder to surf without...

    Component video through a receiver??

    This is definitely true. Feeding video directly to the tv is always the best option to avoid any sort of signal loss. You can however, use a power isolator with your system. It will eliminate most, if not all interference issues. I recommend buying a Monster power center. You can get a very...

    Lockups with the new software version

    Another issue I noticed was I used to have problems with no picture when changing channels. If I changed the channel to the next channel and back, then the picture appeared. After the upgrade, I now have issues with no sound instead of no picture. Anyone else notice this? Seth
