Hi Sean- Sorry for being aloof on this- so you how does one Dish dish point to all at once? So I'd need a clear LOS to both? And just for reference, do you know the location of the Direct sat? Thanks! -Dan

Hi- My wife and I will be enjoying our last evening with VOOM tonight as we ponder the choices for our next carrier. We couldn't get Direct a few years back because of LOS issues. Voom is fine. How about Dish? If I have a good LOS from zip 02048 in Boston MA to the Voom bird, can I hit the...

We're Netflix charter members- still get the 4 at a time for $17.99, so we'll probably use that a lot more. Might have to buy that Zenith 318 DVD player that upconverts to 1080 over component just to keep my HD appetite partially satisfied.......

Hi- I love VOOM and my wife and I are deeply saddened by its passing. And we just got BBCAmerica! No more Benny Hill! :( We've been Voomers since the day they started offering the boxes for lease and one of the reason we got it was becasue we just bought an HDTV and Direct's sat was out of...

Make it 11!! Legend of BC Jr. was a great show!!! And Bubba Ho-Tep is a great film! Watched with my wife and brother, all of us big Elvis fans and Ozzy and Bruce fans, and we really enjoyed this film! Looking forward to seeing in HD.

Sean- I'm on the RAVE PG and for Sun Aug 22 there's no mention of Hard Days Night that evening..... ??????

so do I, just couldn't resist the "Trading Places" reference........ Kudos to all who got it!

I missed the showing Saturday night and I just knew it would be good!! I checked the guide for 2 weeks out and I can't find it.....was this a one time thing? Please tell me this will be on again!! Judging form the comments posted already, it sounds like it was an awesome presentation...

Thank You!!! My wife and I were watching Arrested Development on Fox on the OTA from an old attic antennae (not on the VOOM OTA- doesn't come in) and we switched over to US Marshalls on TNT HD and I said DAMN that looks so good! Must've done a sofware update or somehting! My wife insisted it...

The convention looked great!! Felt like you were there! The music interludes must've had a direct feed from the sound board becasue they sounded really good. Regardless of your politics, it was great to see it look so good, sound great, and not be interrupted at all! No ads, no commentary...

Scott- Enjoy that trip! Yeah- the sound isn't really that great- fake bubble noises like you're watching Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea! Now there's an idea- an Irwin Allen channel! Funny thing is there's no sound under there but your own breathing and your own thoughts. Usually we...

My wife and I caught TANK the other night and we were very surprised with how good it looks. Especially since we've seen first hand the actual tanks used on the TANK program! We do volunteer work for the New England Aquarium in Boston and I'm a dive volunter and I've been in the GOT (Giant...

Ram Electronics is the answer! I bought the following from RAM Electronics for my component video switching. I needed to get my X box and my DVD player switched, and since xbox has like 1 game in 1080, and dvd is like 450 vert lines of rez, why spend hundreds on a top of the line switch...

I see that someone already saw the Perfect Vision stories. I was on the Delta Shuttle last night and picked up PV as one of the free mags they give you. Near the front of the mag with all the breaking news there are three pages of small bytes of news called HDNEWS, all blocked in their own...

OTA scanning? What exactly is OTA Scanning? I live right smack dab between Boston MA and Providence RI and getboth sets of channels equally well. Problem is the towers are at almost exact opposite locations on the compass. I'm diplexing two RS ant and it seems to work okay with the ant going...
