    Selling BUD

    My BUD has been sitting unused for some time now. I looked at getting back into it but I have decided that I need to spend my money on other things. I have a 10-foot mesh with 2 c/Ku receivers. Would $50 be too much to ask? Someone in the Dallas-Ft Worth area interested? Thanks

    C/Ku Receiver

    It is a Uniden Ultra. There is no model number. Says in was manufactured in 1987 (I beieve that was the date I saw).

    C/Ku Receiver

    I will check model and repost later tonight. I thought I had the manual but I cannot find it, it may still be at my brothers.

    C/Ku Receiver

    I have a BUD that I bought in the early 90s before the DBS revolution hit. I stopped using it when I got internet access from my cable company and the cable was free for awhile. I am looking at getting mine back up and running just for the fun of it and maybe do some FTA. But the real...

    Call from Installs, Inc Installer re: VOOM death--unexpected????

    My orignial installer called asking us to keep him in mind when and if we went with another satellite service. He was very good and gave me no problems with the install. He installed the dish where I wanted it and not where he wanted it. He even did an extra wire drop with no charge and...

    Phone line required?

    Installer never hooked mine up. He was not even going to ask me about it. It was me who brought up the conversation. He said I did not need it as it was used for PPV only. So until they get the PPV I am not going to worry over it.

    Free month of service for a referal - they are listening!

    What's the deal with Installs.inc? I ordered my service thru VOOM on-line so I guess my installer was from Installs.inc and he did a great job. Placed the dish where I wanted it and did a wire drop at no extra charge. Install looks great. Maybe its all in the wire drops as all my rooms had...

    DVR "special program" for charter members?

    One of the reasons I waited so long to go to VOOM was that I would not pay $500 for the equipment. I feel the same on the DVR, give me a lease option or a very low cost to purchase. I have 3 STB and if I need to record something I am sure I have a STB and VCR available somewhere in the house...

    Reset 3 times a day

    My and son report that there were no lockups on my VOOM boxes at home for yesterday. Maybe the problem is fixed (at least for me maybe).

    [VOOM] Re: Lockups

    I live in the Dallas area and yesterday was the first lockup free day in about 5 days. And in case you do not get negative logic...I had no lockups on any 3 of my boxes yesterday.

    Box starting acting screwy last night

    I have been having the same problem. I just thought it was me not hitting the right button on the remote. Now I can cancel the install of the padded room. I am also in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. :shocked

    Reset 3 times a day

    This is happening on 2 of my 3 boxes. I first noticed it Friday night when the box would not turn off, just froze up and then did it again Saturday twice. My son's box did it on Saturday (picture just blanked out) and then again last night. This has all started within the last couple of days...

    Great News - Voom Is Here To Stay!!

    Yippy !!! Well I just VOOM installed this past Wednesday. The night before I found this site and was concerned that I had made a mistake but I figured I might as well try it out for as long as it lasts. Well guess what, it looks like I made a good choice. Cannot wait till I can spend a...
