    Two layers of Drywall - What to use between

    I am at the 11th hour of the drywall portion of my new home theater installation. I was always told to double layer the drywall in the theater. The first layer is up, and the drywall contractor is going to install the second layer tomorrow. I had them mud and tape all of the seams on the...

    New Channels Added: - Discoveries & Fox Movie

    I disagree!!! I am happy to "support" voom via the VaVaVoom package. I don't see it as much as an investment in Voom, as an investment in HDTV! What do you think Directv or Dish is going to do in the "HDTV" market if voom fails? Do you really think they are going to run right out and add a...

    New Channels Added: - Discoveries & Fox Movie

    I agree with you Rolllzroyce. I think $40 bucks more per month is completely worth it. However, I have a problem with all the people here "whining" about voom going away, only to find out they only have the basic package. I think if Dolan is willing to put up 10 million, I have no problem...

    VOOM STB Version 7.26 (2.30): Features/Bugs/Requests

    I don't see any mention of this previously, but on my system at least, my Parental control / Lock is working as follows with the new software/Firmware 6.10: If I tune to the locked channel, I have to unlock it to watch the program/show. The channel remains unlocked for the duration of that...

    Anyone else having problems with ESPN-HD?

    WOW! You guys are good!!!!! This is exactly what is happening to my system!. If I go from two of these channels in order, the problem goes away (example from 301 straight to 262) but If I go from say 601 to 301, the problem returns. I guess I never noticed it on the Starz HD channels...

    Anyone else having problems with ESPN-HD?

    Yes, I have unplugged to box several times. I was hoping this was a problem with the old software, as I have three additional boxes with the new software. I will call Voom and get this one replaced. Thanks for the help.

    Anyone else having problems with ESPN-HD?

    Heck, I already pay for it!!!! I thought the problem might be that I subscribe to playboy, and if I cancel the subscription this problem might go away. I know that sometimes when I switch to a channel, I will get the black screen, but this is different, I get a very pixilated display and...
