I'm watching WMAQ NBC 5 here in Chicago right now (11:41AM) and they are airing a 30 minute infomercial about Voom. They are talking about a 49.90 and 89.90 monthly packages. It's interesting, but no mention yet about PVR. :)

There's no way the local tv stations around the country would ever let VOOM carry a national signal. The only way local stations get credit for you watching, is if you're watching them. This is why cable carries local channels and not a national channel. Sure would be easier for Comcast to...

Any word on TiVo? Has anyone heard anything new about TiVo supporting Voom? Now that we have ESPN-HD, I think we should all fight for TiVo to work while we wait for our HD PVR! :) Currently I have to manually set everything to record, but I've found a way to record 16x9 on TiVo, so I'm...

Where is it? I'd like to check out that board too. How do I get there?

You must work for Dish. I find it very funny. :D

I found a really funny website about the Viacom dispute. http://www.ilostmyfavoritechannels.com/ Click on "Watch TV Commercial" to see the ad that Comedy Central made about the dispute.

Well that's excellent news! Do you see any disadvantage to trying it this way? If there is any signal loss, how low is ok? I'm actually going to attach it to the wall up high. It's ok for me to put stuff up inside, but outside is owned by the building, not the condo owners.

Nope... Our windows open about 2 feet tall and there is a pillar of the building right outside my window with a south east exposure, so I may ask my installer to put it there. I've seen other people in the building do it, but we're not allowed to - that's why if I can do it inside the...

Indoor Install? I have a problem. I live in a high-rise in Chicago and am unable to install a dish on the exterior of our building. Being on the 32nd floor of a 55 story building, I can not run cable to the roof. So the question is this: I want Voom so I can enjoy my new HDTV. I have a...
