    How does this antenna deal work? Is it a new customer offer only?

    Upcoming 622 install

    Thanks for the info. I think I'll point the 2nd dish to 61.5. Wasn't the old Voom sat at the same position? I remember having a very strong signal with it.

    Upcoming 622 install

    I have an install coming up this Saturday for a 622 running only 1 tv. I'm an ex-Voom customer (I really miss them). I have an D500 pointed at the old Voom location with a single feed coming into the house. The installer is supposed to put up a D1000. After reading some of the other posts around...

    Great News! The WOW is HERE NOW!

    Hmmm. Shirakami Mountains on Equator looks better to me than normal as well and I guess I should know. They play it once a day I think :rolleyes:

    Is the box the problem?

    I recently switched from digital cable to Voom. So far I've been pretty happy with the service. I definately feel like I'm getting more for my money than with cable but I too notice the soft picture that people here have been talking about. What I'm wondering is how much of it is caused by the...

    Sears and Voom

    I had a similar experience. I went into Sears to watch some Voom while I was waiting for my install date to come. A salesperson walked up and asked if he could help me. I said that I was just checking out Voom. He proceeds to tell me that if I really want a good deal then I should check out Dish...

    Screen position

    Has anyone been able to get the horizontal and vertical screen position settings to do anything? Maybe Im doing something wrong but they seem to have effect no matter what I put them on. The Voom box is set to output 1080i and my tv locks into full with that input but I thought the box's...

    Finally hooked up

    Well, I just got installed yesterday. This was the second attempt. No eqpt. was available the first time and they called to cancel the day before the install. This time the installer called the night before to verify everthing and actually asked to come early which was fine with me. The...
