I used to love it when they showed the Red Bull flugtag (sp?) Except that they repeated them a million times.

After going inactive, my 622 goes dark and will not return to normal service unless I unplug and plug back in. Called dish and after a few minutes with tech support she said "we're having a problem with the 622's and are working to resolve" She wouldn't give me any more detail than that...

don't skimp on cabling at this point - put in way more than you'll think you'll need. also make sure you put in plenty of cabling for speakers. and if you're buidling a paitio/deck, don't forget about wiring out there.

the only channel I gave a rat's ass about was Rave. In the midst of the constant repeats, you'd find some nuggets. Unfortunately I lost the Sonic Youth/Wilco concert when I switched to the 622...

thanks all, finally got it working. wouldn't you know that while the guy was on his way, I starting messing w/ it and hit the 119. I didn't bother calling him off since he was bringing me a dual LNB anyway. The in-laws are happy to have decent TV at their "summer" home. They currently...

Thanks all for replies. btw - the zip code is 85383 (nw Phoenix) I opted for a local retailer and he's coming out Saturday morning. Will be $80 for first 1/2 hour and $40 for each 1/2 hour after. Hopefully won't take him too long. I'm pretty disgusted w/ myself. Used to be able to hit...

Thanks. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find the 119. :-( Any tips on finding it. I made sure the mast was level and plumb. Set the elevation for my zip code and pointed it 170 degrees (had a compass to figure out where that was). If I do need to get dish to come out - how do I get this...

I'm trying to setup a receiver at my in-laws RV park so they'll have TV for the summer... I purchased a new 311 receiver, and grabbed the old dish that was used at my house to point to the voom satellite. My first question - the dish only has a single LNB - will this even work? 2nd question...

They sent me a letter saying VOOM was going away unless I upgraded. I called and a few days later they showed up with a 622 and 211 - no charge. Only an additional $5/month for the new HD packaage.

Riddle me this How can the SEC allow Charles to buy Voom himself?? Something seems awful fishy about the head of a company starting a new venture with his company's assets, seeing it flounder, and them buying it with is own personal funds on the cheap. Seems a little under handed...

The Food Network is gonna have an HD channel?? Wow. Who woulda thought?? :)

1. Monitor Satellite 2. 6/09/04 3. 480 969-2615 4. Mesa, AZ 5. Chandler, AZ 6. doesn't seem to have one 7. 8 8. NEG - not too good at returning phone calls, and didn't seem to have any communication with VOOM on anything. POS - The installer was very professional, thorough, and complete...

Is MOOV really necessary? It was cool to watch when I first got Voom, but it might as well be a test channel.

Ahh, don't be so hard on the guy. He was pissed off at the time and wanted to vent. I didn't have great install experience, and posted my story of woe when I found out my install was still two weeks away after already waiting a month. Since then Voom's been installed and it works great. It...

After a month and a 1/2 of waiting, I finally got my Voom installed yesterday (I'm in Chandler). Monitor Satellite did the install - they weren't too great at returning my phone calls, but the installer who came out was very thorough and did a great job. I ended up getting my first month...
