Well I really wasn't expecting anything, just hoping. My last bill has a "Customer Loyalty Credit" on it. It might have not been a bad decision to jump in early, buy the box, and stay 'till the end after all.

Staying with 4DTV (C-Band). May add Dish to get the additional Voom HD channels.

How about TEN

I asked a Voom CSR what would be invloved in getting a STB authorized if I sold my STB to another person. She said that no one had asked that question before and she would have to ask someone else. Well, no one seemed to know the answer so she took my phone number and said someone would get...

Not quite true. See http://www.169time.com (legality of this co. may be in question).

Other dish sizes? What do you check if you have a 12 ft. dish? At least no rain fade.

The only thing you are missing is the ownership of the equipment. At the end of 2005 they get the equipment back under the lease plan. If you don't switch to lease you still own the equipment which should be worth something, even if just for the OTA antenna and dish. So subtract say $80 to...

You might try covering the IR window on your GI650 IRD. This will stop the Voom remote from operating it while still allow operation via UHF. You may also need to put tape on the GI650 remote to prevent that from operating the Voom STB. The newer GI/Motorola IRD's allow changing the codes...

Using DVI, CRT based displays must convert the digital (DVI) to analog in the display. Using component the conversion is done in the STB. Whichever does the best conversion wins. With digital display devices (LCD, Plasma, LCos, DLP, etc.), a conversion of some form nearly always takes...

You must have your antenna connection connected direct to the stations transmitter.

As far as using a TIVO with Voom, I think one solution would be a programmable remote (Sony RM-AV3000 etc.) to control Voom. They can be programmed to turn on Voom and change to any channel at a preset time. It could even be used to control both boxes. At least I think this should work.

I don't have any of these. Where did you get those channel numbers?

Sean, I think you forgot about the $199 installation and activation fee (which is waived at this time but could be implemented before the end of the MBG). I could be wrong on this but I think that us early adopters also get a free plus pack ($14.90/mo.) with the basic package ($49.90/mo after...
