    VOOM Installations

    Too many Trees! I had to cancel my Install due to too many tall, dense trees surrounding my home. Installs Inc felt it would not be feasible. I appreciate the installer explaining the situation in detail. This would have been my first satellite experience, so I was not familiar with the...

    Quitting E* ?

    If HD Programming is top on your list, VOOM beats both the Dish, Directtv and cable. I'm getting it installed on Wedneday. Check out their website!

    DVI-I or DVI-D?

    Sean, I have a DVI-D to HDMI adapter cable and a Y Pb Pr cable. My TV has both HDMI and Y Pb Pr inputs, so hopefully one of them will work well with the Voom receiver. My install is on again for Wednesday. I'm hoping for clear skies!

    As far as Plus packs: Is it true that only those that subscribe by Jan 31st will get 1 plus pack free? for 39.99 a month?

    Programming package question?

    Joe, BE warned, I'm in the same boat. Tivo (at this time) offers NO Voom support for its Program Guide! I am getting Voom on Wednesday and will try setting it up using DirectTV or the Dish's program guide. This method you should be able to program using TIME/Channel record for recording...

    How do Local channel numbers appear on Voom Receiver?

    I am curious as to how local channel numbers appear on Voom receiver, by station number or by 3 digit number. Also do HD local broadcasts have a separate channel number than the same channel broadcasting a SD program? For example, I'm in Atlanta- ABC is channel 2, FOX is channel 5, UPN is 10...

    VOOM Adds more HDTV (in January) Channels and new equipment

    Tivo, after annoucing the Stand Alone HD Tivo in their Press conference in January 2003, stunned everyone by totally omitting any mention of it at all in their Press Confernece today. Over at the Tivo Community Forum, their are several miffed Tivo users asking "what happened" to the SA HD Tivo...

    VOOM Installations

    Update, A very nice lady from Installs Inc called me at 4:45 pm to inquire if my installation had either been completed or if I had at least heard from the Installer during the course of the day. I told her that I had not heard from anyone all today. She offered to reschedule yet...

    VOOM Installations

    My Voom Installation Never happened! My Voom Installation NEVER happened! I had set up my Voom Install for Wednesday, Jan 7th about 2 weeks ago. I scheduled that day off from work. The scheduled time window was supposed to be between 8a-12n. I also scheduled myself off from work today...

    Voom PVR Irony

    Sean, After much surfing on the Web, The Phillips DVD-R80 seems to be the only DVD recorder on the market that has Y Pb Pr (Component) Inputs. All the rest I came across have the single yellow (compostite) or S-Video Input. The DVDR80 records using the DVD+R/DVD+RW media which I prefer...

    Voom PVR Irony

    Sean, Please forgive my repetitive questions concerning Pvr's and Dvd recorders, but I am trying to get as much understanding on this subject as possible before my Voom Installation on Wednesday. I expect Voom will make a announcement concerning their own PVR about the time that...

    Voom PVR Irony

    I agree about needing a Voom PVR asap!. I am hoping that Tivo announces some type of Voom support soon so I can cancel my Comcast Cable. In the DVD Recorder Topic I was intrigued that another Poster is recording Voom thru Replaytv (If I understood correctly). Thanks, Harry
