Not sure... I know that the plan has to be the Plus 1. I added starz for 2.99 a month and they didn't give me too much trouble but they are pretty picky about the buyback plan requirements... ie... you must choose their Plus 1 (HBO) to get the $25 off for a year. Since I really only watch tv...

That's BS... I had a similar problem in that some CSRs don't think Voom counts in their "Dish" buy back. Keep trying don't tell them it's voom... try saying the generic term "satelite". Also, it helps if you have an old receiver of some sort to give them. Could be D* or E*. I told the...

Help ID this antenna... Hey all... This is the antenna that the installer put on... I wasn't home when they did it and my wife doesn't remember... I'm pretty sure it needs power from the STB since when I pluged it directly to my TV's tuner... I could only get 1 or 2 channels. Question is...

I got my install today... not bad... the DVR is Not as nice as Tivo by any means and the guide listings take forever to come down. BUT.... HD dvr for a decent price... can't beat it. Got HD-DVR, HBO, Starz, 4Mb Broadband for $45 for six months, $89 for the following six... by then I hope D*...

Just got my order put through... they come tomorrow. 1st 6 months is $49 with broadband, next six months $89. No Contract... etc... some CSRs don't think "Voom" counts for their "Dish" buyback program... dorks! I had to call like 3 times in order to get it.... I'm in S. Florida.

So if I have this standard install (I have only one cable coming to my STB and get Sat and OTA) and have a TV with a built-in HD tuner, then all I have to do is what you are mentioning? The STB will continue to power the antenna and I'll have OTA using the tuner on my tv? I tried plugging...

Brandsmart had this offer... and I took advantage of it :D . I got a 32" Sharp LCD. Sharp had an additional $200 rebate! Total price ~$1500! Use the deal... if Voom dies (hope not) then you don't have to pay for the 6 months. Great deal. JunX

Same for me... www.voom.com is a shutdown message.

That's right! I just wonder how they're going to pull this one off.... send a KILL signal to the box, or just stop broadcasting.... If they send a kill it will be a nice doorstop, if they stop broadcasting... we should get the locals. If it keeps working... will the guide still show the...

Loosing Voom SUCKS, but it would also blow if I lost the ability to use the STB to get the OTA stuff.... Their antenna works great! Assuming they don't confiscate the boxes, how can we keep them working as OTA? Make sure they are unplugged when it goes dark? Help! Hey at least CVC...
