They are looking into it. WHY!! Any other channel, any other time...

Why is ESPN black. No video no audio. Every other channel is fine. The Sports Mix channel shows ESPN just fine. But if I tune to 206 it is just black. WHY! It's been like this for 10 minutes. The game's about to start! On hold with DTV.... Is anyone else having a problem?

No check yet, but I called and have a $400 and something credit on my account. I am a charter member and bought my receiver in Dec 2003. I'm not sure how they are deciding on who gets a refund or for how much, but here's my theory. If you bought your receiver and didn't cancel your service...

Too bad. It would be a nice Thank You if they'd turn on all the channels for everyone. But, I don't expect that to happen. It was fun while it lasted. P.S. Anyone want to buy an HD receiver and dish real cheap? :-)

Now seems to be a good time to upgrade to VaVaVoom and the Playboy channel. The downside is, I might have to pay for half a month. The upside is that the signal might continue past the 30th. I wonder if any CSRs are still there?

I heard a radio ad for Brandsmart this morning advertising the Voom deal. That's here in Atlanta.

Sorry for the confusion. The cost is from April on. Since you'd need to add $800 to each option, the relative comparisions are still valid. As for the Marquee pack, I kind of thought that was the case, but their website shows it as a separate pack, so I went with that. Doesn't change any...

As a charter member, here are what I think are my options. Please let me know if anything is missing or wrong. Option 1 Do not switch to lease, choose HBO as free plus pack Cost: $40/month 2004 Total cost: $40*9 - $300 = $60 2005 Total cost: $40*12 = $480 Total cost thru 2005: $540...

Sean, How long will we get the free Plus-Pak? And, how do we notift them? Are they going to call or send an email? Unless its been extended again, the free period ends on the 31st, right?

Ah, guess I missed that thread, thanks! That's good that they are replacing. The guide is really slow and I lose signal quite a bit.

New receiver? So, I'm about to call and cancel Voom and take advantage of the money back guarantee. I still can, right? I ordered in December, I think the free programming might have just ended, but the money-back is until the end of March, right? So, anyway, there is a voicemail from Voom...

I like Voom, but I'm going to cancel and here's why. 1. Content Yes, they have alot of content, but there isn't really anything I'm that interested in on the 21 exclusive channels. In the month I've had it, I think I've watched 3 movies on Cinema 10. The best thing I've seen has been the...

Thanks, Sean. I couldn't get 720 to work, but using your technique, I got 1080i to work. I guess that's just as good, or maybe even better, if the TV is better at converting to 720p than the receiver is. BTW, do you have a computer hooked to your DLP using the VGA input? I was using DVI...

Hi, I just got Voom Monday and it's great. I've been watching through component on my Samsung DLP. I tried switching to DVI tonight since it should give an even better picture, but I've run into a problem. If I try the different output resolutions by pressing the red button, only 480p...
