Take it back down to the charter place across from Hulen Mall and get the 8300 HDDVR....it has HDMI out, you will need an adapter cable if your tv doesnt have HDMI....but it works just fine

I scheduled a deactivation of service for a couple of days from now...the end of my billing cycle. The CSR wasn't sure if the box would still get OTA after deactivation. He said the boxes would be going back in a couple of weeks, but wasn't sure when. Anybody know if OTA will work on a...

This is a "newbie" question, but assuming my "neighbor" had a HD box he would sell me...I'd still be responsible for purchasing and installing the dish myself? Does the box see signal strength on the antenna,and then you call D* to activate it? Also, is there any websites that discusss the...

Thanks for replies. Could someone elaborate on the locals...how this works? If there is a satellite at 72.5 broadcasting local stations, can you just put up a second dish to receive all of them? Or does D* restrict the locals you can receive based on where you live? So why even use a OTA...

Now that VOOM is pulling the plug, it looks like DirectTV is going to be my best option for HD. I subscribed to VOOM in 12/04, it was my first sat service, and I don't know enough about all the options D* has...even though I've been lurking here for about a month in case VOOM didn't make it...

HAHAHAHA....this has got to be a troll....but there are really people like this......looking for a handout on every corner

same here...one box only...started 5 days ago...have to unplug/plug...something is screwed up

LOL...exactly what I was thinking...but you added a few more twists

Unfortunately, that should problably read Voom "had"

Fumble! Change in possesion.....

Ok, just for discussion, let's assume its real, and VOOM is dead. What are you guys looking at as an alternative? Who has the best HD lineup, features, service, sports, movies, etc? It looks like I'm going to need to start thinking of going to "plan B". VOOM is my first SAT provider, I...

I found an answer to my question, so I thought I'd post it just in case anyone was interested....http://www.sandsationalsound.com/ they make an adapter for rg6

I'm looking at a satellite receiver to incorporate into a multizone audio system...particularly the polk. The receiver will have to sit in a rack with the other equipment, and the antenna options are limited. The rack is in a central location on the ground floor of a two story home. From what...

Thanks for the welcome....I don't have a stb for the cable...just a splitter on the line. Hopefully the locals will look ok, I'm about 25 miles from most of the tranmitters. Oh yeah, I had one other question...thanks for putting up with all my questions! I got a pretty good deal from...

Thanks very much! I don't know how I got that only DVI outputs 1080i...I was doing so much reading and assimilating information last night, that I must have overloaded my circuits :). This site has it all! I forgot to ask one thing more...I'm connected through local cable for my internet...
