    Land Line woes

    nothing offical, but i have had my voom hooked up for about 2 months now and i have never had a land line plugged in to the box. I asked the installer about it and he said i would only need it for pay per view. Not that installers know anything, but i have never had a service interuption. So...

    Is there any chance to get rid of the land phone line requirement

    My installer never hooked up a phone line either and said i wouldn't need it unless i wanted to do pay per view. Obviously he had no clue what he was talking about, but He is the person Voom chose to represent them. I have had uninterupted service since i got VOOM in March. To this day i have...

    Tnt Hd

    I just called and the sales rep hadn't heard anything about TNT HD. She did give me the prototypical "when it becomes available we will prolly start negotiations" So I laughed at her and said kinda like those ESPN Negotiations and she didn't think it was too funny.

    Did VOOM increase signal strength?

    It was pouring where im at yesterday and Voom was unwatchable. I couldn't go 5 seconds without a pause and pixelation. It was HORRIBLE. My signal Strength was at 71!! Its usually around 95. So Lucky for yall on getting good reception in rain, I had to just put a dvd on.

    Dates For ESPN-HD & TNT HD on VOOM?

    Koto.... if soccer is what you want, World Sport HD has you covered. They show Spanish Premeire league all the time. It doesn't get any better than Real Madrid in High Def. Way better soccer than anything espn will show

    Start Date for ESPNHD?

    figures can anyone explain to me why everytime there is a topic on espn, the thread always ends up completely off topic? ITs kinda annoying to listen to yall play games with the idiot who obviously knows what the movie tomb raider is. At least start your own thread on Angelina Jolie to save us...

    Tnt Hd?

    anyone know if VOOM will be getting TNT HD on May 17 when they start broadcasting? It would be pretty smooth to see the Western Conference Finals in HD.

We had to pole mount the satelite in the grass area in back of my unit, the partments ok'd it since it wasn't viewable from the street. the satelite installers were going to charge me 90 bucks to dig a hole and pour some sement and plant the pole, so...

    ESPN tidbit

    by more HD, i meant the likes of baseball tonight and NFL prime time, stuff like that. Obviously the studio would make no difference to a sporting event hundreds of miles away. Gotta be happy with the little things and glimpses of hope i guess!
