    DirecTV Problems in Cold Weather

    Colder than Cold I live in Northern Minnesota. We routinely have temps at -20 to -30 degrees. We will have 4-5 day stretches where temps will not get above 0. I have never had a problem. I honestly do not think your issue is temperature related. The only thing I do in the fall is spray my...

    Minneapolis/St.Paul Voomers

    I have seen this on my 26" Zenith. I noticed right away that the PQ was better via VOOM than D*. This is good news as I have heard that SD on DLP monitors can be less than desirable. If VOOM can help the SD PQ, then I will be happy. I pick up my new Sammy HLP on Wednesday. Warren in MN

    I think the same thing when I hear people demand the Sci-Fi Channel ??? I would think HGTV and Food TV are more mainstream than Sci-Fi ! Warren in MN

    A Poll on Voom as primary or combined content provider

    Getting VOOM for HD only. I will still be a D*TV customer until VOOM gets the following... 1) PVR (TiVo) 2) Network HD ( D*TV has CBS-HD, FOX-HD, more coming) 3) Key channels I can get via D*TV (Food, HGTV, a few others)

    What's your favorite HD Channels?

    Espn? Does ESPN-HD not qualify ? I wish the new Sportscenter showed more HD clips, but I watch alot of ESPN-HD. At least the content changes. I like DiscoveryHD, but how about something new ??? Warren in MN

    Minneapolis/St.Paul Voomers

    I live in an NRTC area (northern MN) and was told to by my HD receiver on my own and then bring it in to have it activated. After looking at 200-1000 dollar receivers I decided on the VOOM route, at least temporarily. I plan on getting the HD TiVo unit this fall when prices come down, then I...
