I'm feeling bummed like all of you, and wondering if there is a good comparison already developed on current options for programming and equipment with Dish vs. Directv vs. Cable. Also, I was a Dish subscriber for about 4 years...and just turned it off last fall. Will there be any deals...

I'm curious where these concerts are recorded? Someone told me Chicago, but I can't confirm that. Any idea how to get tickets?

I don't subscribe to VaVa Voom, but I've been getting 261 and 262 (the two Starz HD channels) for weeks, maybe months. Today they've been turned off and now require VaVaVoom. Anyone else have the same situation? I wonder why they have been on? And why they were today turned off?

DVI connection Samsung HLN567w DLP 720p I keep Voom set at 1080i, except when watching local OTA Fox station when I have to switch to 720p, strangely, or it flashes.

My installation was in March 04. I think what I've learned from this thread is that it will be risky to make any changes. Sounds like I should leave well enough alone until I'm prepared to pay the $10 monthly upcharge.

My installation was about a year ago, and was guaranteed to stay $39.95 through 12/31/04. I've been anticipating it to go up to $49.95, but I just received my bill through March 3 and it is still at $39.95. I'd like to try out one of the movie packages for awhile, but I'm afraid that when I do...

My comcast bill said they are offering a free HBO preview beginning Feb 7. Does anyone know if VOOM is doing the same thing?

I got rid of my RM-AV3100 for the Harmony 659, and LOVE the Harmony! My biggest issue with the Sony was it was very confusing to program. If I added a new piece of equipment, I had to get out the less-than-adequate manual and spend a long time programming. Also, can't find buttons on the Sony...

Get this -- when a call comes in, I get a Caller ID reading for the person that called 9 calls ago! It's consistent...every time the phone rings, I see on the screen who called 9x ago. Amazing. Hopefully they are working on it.

This has also happened to me twice since the update. I have to do a soft reboot, and it takes about 20 or 30 minutes for the program guide to update again.

I agree with you...for me. However, with my wife and 4 kids (ages 3 to 11), there viewing habits are more based on content than quality. Being able to watch Gilligan's Island when they get home from school every day, even in crappy SD, is pretty important to them. Actually, most of this dilemma...

Perhaps you can help me decide. I currently have Voom, Dish 180, and Expanded Basic Cable. I primarily have cable because of my cable internet connection (it's cheaper to keep cable then to disconnect because of discounts). My cable does not currently offer HD in my area. I need to drop...

My setup: Samsung HLN567w Voom into DVI Voom also into Replay TV for recording I also have the Voom receiver set to 1080, as I didn't have any success with it set to 720p. It is a beautiful picture -- stunning actually. Tim

About 1 week ago my Voom (DVI) started blacking out on occasion, maybe 2 or 3x each hour. Since last night, it started doing it every 2 seconds (literally). It was still doing it tonight when I got home, so I called Voom (on hold 28 minutes by the way). The CSR said, after another 4 or 5 minutes...

Just got off the phone with VOOM. They had me do a hard reset (unplugging power cord), and it seems to have worked. BTW, my system settings show the new software (5.5c). Signal quality on satellite around 95 and OTA around 79.
