If you reboot your receiver, you will also lose the clock function as the clock in the receiver is set by satellite signals. This is in addition to the lost guide data.

Silly question How silly could this question be? You bought the receivers and you own them! Or maybe you are expecting refund from CV? An unrelated question for all of you out there: I lost the guide as expected but also lost the clock in the receiver. Is this expected? I would think there...

Discovery HD (channel 601) also went dead tonight. All other channels seem just fine. Strange!

This is my sentiment as well. Voom PQ used to be better than D* before the new encoder went online. Now it is exactly as the OP described. BTW, I have D* for 10 years and still have it just in case Voom would not make it. Voom, please bring back the PQ as before the new encoder!!!!!!!

The best HD program I have seen thus far is the prorgam on Mantis (I forgot the exact title) last night on DiscoveryHD. I flipped to the channel before I was ready for bed. The PQ was awesome with vibrant color and a 3-D feel. I ended up going to bed 45 minutes later just to finish the show. I...

Vizio P42HDe TV: Vizio P42HDe plasma Problem: Guide information lost on occasions when Voom STB is connected to the TV through DVI. Guide would be downloaded after 30 minutes or so, but it is annoying. I suspect turning on TV first or STB first might have something to do with the problem...

Lacking FSN Arizona is the only reason I am keeping D* for $50 a month. That's the only way I am watching PAC10 tournament tonight. Having double subscription to D* and Voom is only a temperal arrangement. Eventually, I will settle on only one satellite provider, voom or D*, but not both.

Liteon LVW 5045 Has any voomer tried this recorder? Record on both DVD-R and DVD+R plus 160 GB HDD. On another note, are there any recorder that has a component input for HD recording? TIA

It is not a choice for Voom. The providers sell the whole package including HD and SD feed.s I am pretty sure ESPN demands Voom to carry SD feed along with HD feed.

Ron, Voomllc still redirects eveything back to the original Voom web site.

Fox Sports Net HD A large number of FSN channels broadcast selected games in HD from two transponders on Galaxy 13. These channels would be nice additions to the Voom HD lineup. The following quote is from: http://www.panamsat.com/news/pressview.asp?article=1360 dated on July 20, 2004.

D* has been carrying CNN International for years as far as I can remember (I've had D* for 10 years).

I still have D* subscription. So it is easy for me just to keep it. Easy. It has all the channels plus DNS HD. I will miss TNT-HD and all the Voom exlusive, though.

JWK, excellent descriptions about the problems on Cartoon network channel. I normally do not watch this channel, but somehow my kids wondered to my TV and tuned to this channel. I saw exactly what you descirbed tonight between 9:00 and 10:00 pm MST.

A very interesting observation. What do you say about NGC? International Geographic Day?
