Just seems incredibly inefficient andsilly to have to do it twice, and to beforeced to speak with three different people to accomplish it. Why should they care at all? Also, where does one simplhy purchase the unit - I was told they were only for lease? what do they cost to purchase, and...

Ok, I am simply amazed. I am a curent Dish customer. I have the america's everything pack, HD, Voom, the works. Curently, I have a 942 and 2 811's. I called Dish to see about upgrading the 942 to a 622, and swap one of the 811's with a second 622 - yes, I have two HD tv's, and I want dvr...

Hi -- I am a longtime D* subscriber, and a recent Voomer. Now that VOOM is no more (sob) I am thinking of switching to Dish. Here is my problem. I have two HD tv's - one, a front projection theater, and a 50"plasma in the bedroom. Ideally, I would like to have dvr capability on both. It...

:eek: There is no comparison. HD blows DVD away completely, and it is easy to see the difference. Even my 65 year old mother who doesn't see so well is blown away by a real HD picture. And I am running dvd on a 1:1 pixel matched basis via DVI. So it is not about the player. HD is simply...

i HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM -- Mine worked for a month, and all of a sudden it no longer works. HD content error. I have tried everything. ARRGH.

(and sorry to all for the double posting -- my computer froze and kicked me out of my browser just as I hit post, so I reposted without realising it had in fact gone through...)

All I can tell you is what he told me. Perhaps with the MPEG 4 compression it will use less space...?

I specifically asked him whether he meant SD, and he repeated, reading from his screen, 100 hours of HD recording capacity. I am not sure why you think there are not hard drives large enough for this? The HD Tivo box has already been upgraded by some to handle 77 hours (dual 300GB drives)...

Good News And Bad News ... Wow!!! Wow. Just hung up with a VOOM CSR and found out the following: First the bad news: The VOOM PVR has been delayed until January 2005. Now, the good news: The reason I was given was that they were upgrading the box to include the following: 100 HOURS...

Wow. Just had a really interesting conversation with a CSR at VOOM. he said that they have delayed the release of the VOOM DVR until January '05. That is the bad news. The good news is that he said the reason is that the box is being upgraded from what they had originally intended, and now...

Same problem Hi -- I live in LA, and have the same problem with channel 4... signal strength 94, picture, 0.

Same issue... For what it's worth, I am in Los Angeles, had VOOM installed last week, and am having the identical problem...KNBC shows signal strength of 93, but nothing tunes in when I turn to the channel. Glad to hear I'm not the only one...
