I had the same problem. I've had my HR10-250 for only 6 weeks and my HDMI port failed yesterday. Started off with the weird picture previously described (grayed out with color bleed and inverted colors) and then it finally died completed about an hour later. I isolated it to the HDMI port by...

Another question: (sorry) After I complete this "move" do I need to block the number from which my DVR makes its calls (via the "*67" prefix)? Will DirecTV "catch me" if they see the DVR calling from my current phone? Does it still work okay with a blocked number? Kevin

Nope, you can only change the billing address online, not the service address. :( kevin

One more thing -- I found it interesting that the CSR would NOT process the change of address on the spot. Wanted me to call back after my "move", so it appears that the CSRs do indeed care about this stuff. Kevin

Okay, I called DirecTV to change my service address and the CSR took me through this whole "moving" thing asked me a lot of questions. Basically I told her that I am moving Thursday to a previous location which already has the dish and cabling and that I will do the TV/receiver installs myself...

how far down the road in the future should we expect this grand upgrade to MPEG-4? thanks, kevin

also would i get my old local channels if i instead get them to change my zip code to my old zip code (instead of the new zip code)? i live in a new neighborhood, so they might buy that.... kevin

sounds like a good idea - do you think directv would get suspicious about such an address change, given i just moved a few weeks ago? or do you think they wouldn't care? kevin

Hmmm, the new owner of my old house will set up a new DirecTV account so I will need to think about this one (can't use that old address). :( How about if I ask them to change my zip code? I'm thinking they'll know that I am giving them the wrong zip code.... Thanks, Kevin

i will try this, but how about if my reset the system and change the zip code in the DVR setup to my old zip code? will that work? thanks, kevin

Hello all, I recently moved from Los Gatos CA to Scotts Valley CA and kept my DirecTV service. In Los Gatos I got my local channels from San Francisco which was great because I could get all the SF Giants games on FOX KTVU channel 2. When I moved to Scotts Valley, after a few days, my...

Hello all, Just wanted to say to all for your feedback and to the moderators for maintaining this excellent site, but... I've decided that I am done with VOOM, at least for now. Had it uninstalled and taken away for a full refund (I was a "Charter Member" who paid the full $800 for the...

But will VOOM broadcast NFL games during the regular season in HD on the NFL Network? Or does DirecTV have exclusive rights to live NFL game broadcasting? Kevin

Hi Sean, Great news, your suggested fix solved my problem. Actually forcing everything to 1080i seems to make non-HD channels look better as well. I'm gonna just leave it set this way. Thanks again for your help! Kevin

Hello all, I am an "early subscriber" in the sense that I paid my $800 or to purchase my VOOM equipment last year and have it installed. I've been teetering on the decision to send it back for a refund, but a VOOM CSR just told me that the money-back guarantee has been extended yet another...
