I agree about the Dish skip forward/skip back buttons for commercials. Love the way it works. I never use traditional fast forward for commercials. Tonight I was watching a recording that I had transferred from my old 612 to an external hard drive, then to my Hopper's drive. Playback paused...

I have 1 hopper/1 joey. I was the only one in the house last night and decided to check out some PTAT shows that I had never watched before, and I was watching from the Hopper itself. This was during PTAT recording, but both shows I watched had been recorded on a prior night. I watched one...

Getting my Hopper and Joey on Sunday. I've been away from SatelliteGuys for a while and didn't pay attention to CES so I can't even believe I'm getting it within a few days of it coming out. I could have actually had it tomorrow morning, but frankly I am not ready! Lucky I read Engadget...

I was replied to. Thank you!

Thanks for the info. I was planning on giving them some more time and trying to get a replacement receiver. Some people I know also have Comcast and have had the same receiver problems I have had. They are now on their second receiver and it's doing it to them, too (though not as badly as the...

I signed up for Comcast after I lost Voom. I got all the channels, HD DVR, etc. I'm considering making the switch to Dish Network. I like all the features I got with Comcast that I didn't have with Voom (2-tuner HD DVR is a big upgrade over a VCR, and On Demand is cool). The remote control...

I had Comcast installed yesterday. Full package including all channels, HD, and DVR. $25 off per month for 16 months by switching from a dish brought me to $89/mo. I was paying $99 for Voom so after taxes on the Comcast I might end up paying a little more or a little less. I figured I'd...

So is there a difference between leasing and buying when it comes to additional receivers? Looking at their website if you lease it is $14.50 per month per additional receiver and if you buy it is $5 per month per additional receiver. If leasing goes down to $5 per month, is buying going to...

Ahh, I didn't know that about DBS vs FSS. Maybe VOOM could just use the 30" dishes that they were giving people to help with rain fade, rather than rolling out a brand new eliptical dish.

The exclusive channels owned and operated by Rainbow Media were supposed to go to VOOM as part of the original spinoff (which the FCC repeatedly declined), and I know EchoStar didn't buy them. Is Cablevision hanging onto them, are they going to VOOM HD LLC, are they still up for sale, or are...

Another problem I noticed last night is that I can tune my OTA channels just fine, but only a few of them have programming information in the guide. The channel names and number show up, but the programming says no info. Certain channels have programming info, such as 26 WCIU (in Chicago), but...

I haven't been having any lockups in several months but I've had at least 10 this weekend. I don't have a phone line plugged in. I've also noticed once in a while when paging through the channel guide, a full page of channels will show up blank. The program info is there but the channel name...

I could totally see Microsoft merging with Voom. Bill Gates has wanted to get into television for a long time. They have had a few failed attempts in certain areas over the years. They decided to push hard again with WM9. If I recall, Voom was one of the first to decide to support WM9 for...

Nope, on the Xbox only DVD movies can do DTS and only games can do Prog Scan. :what Both games and movies can do DD5.1, though. I have VOOM, Xbox, Live, and Halo 2 (along with a ton of other games, but that one is owning my life right now). Gamertag: Diabolos...

I saw these identical instructions yesteday and tried them out this morning. I ran into a few problems. On step number 5 if you hit OK it leaves the screen with the colored buttons. I went ahead back into that screen and completed the procedure. When I checked SD channels they were still...
