    Need advice with 942

    Sorry I may not have explained clearly. I want to know if I was to call Dish to finally have Dish installed at my house would they (Dish) charge me for the box since they seem to not have me in the system and don't care to get back their quite expensive piece of equipment. It looks to me like I...

    Need advice with 942

    I was going to get Dish after the fall of Voom. So I ordered, it included a DVR942. I received the DVR942 a week before install date. When installer came he threw me for a loop with the 2 coax lines coming and going from the boxes because the boxes have dual tuners inside. So I declined to have...

    Do I need two dishes or can I use a dish 500?

    Question about Dish Install

    Sorry I sound so stupid. I used to have directtv and then have had cable for so long that I had no idea that they used 2 tuners in one box now. I am remodeling my house and already did the Sheetrock. Which is why I sound so pissed because I ran the Voom cables in the walls and thought that would...

    Question about Dish Install

    Does this sound right, I had Voom, ordered Dish because of Voom channels. The package I ordered is the one for 4 rooms thats talked about here. But when the installer showed up he had one SD box and I had received a 942 in the mail. I said order was for 4 rooms and he said yes the order had...

    Need help with this setup

    Can I have an OTA antenna as well as the 2 dish setup from Dishnet all run on one cable line to the HD DVR and then be seperated as I had with the one dish from Voom with an OTA setup?

    VOOM goes BOOM, where do I go?

    Now that the fat lady has sung, What would you do? I have Cablevision, Direct or Dish. I don't want to give the "Dolt" my money so do you think that Direct or Dish will try some new low cost package to pick us up or stay with Cablevision?

    Anyone lose signal on East Coast

    Did anyone else lose there signal on and off last night in the New Jersey area? I checked my signal level and it was fluctuating from 74 to 78. I believe at 75 I would lose signal totally then it would come back. Is this normal or should I demand a better dish, or get it on record with VOOM...

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    I have to add, I see more loss of signal now. Meaning I'll get a row of blocks that freeze then disappear after 10 seconds. This never happened before. I think VOOM should go back to the old encoders that they had before and lose half of the garbage SD channels. Then they could improve the...

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    I subscribed to VOOM to see great HD tv. What I have seen so far questions my need to stay with VOOM. I see a better picture from cable or OTA now. The only reason I made a switch was the picture quality and amount of channels VOOM offered. So why does VOOM feel a need to lower the quality to...

    About Calibrations

    What I would like to know is, If I buy 20 TVs from one manufacturer and each TVs picture looks different right out of the box. Can each TV be calibrated to look exactly the same. I'm referring to an LCD TV. The reason I ask is I have a Syntax LCD TV and I'm just not able to get a decent...

    Is it just me this morn, or are the HD CHANNELS CLEARER

    I hope I am not flamed for this but what makes anyone think they are tweaking anything right now. With all thats happening for example pink slips, and James Dolan insisting on closing VOOM (which I beg doesn't). Why would you think anything more involved than changing over to the Harmonic...

    Is Voom Dark? (3/2/2005 9:15am)? No.

    No VOOM for me yesterday either. Last night it came back. Even if VOOM stays around I don't like the fact that snow killed my signal all day.
