Bump - please help if you can!

Folks - I currently have 2 HD receivers (811's), a 510 PVR, and an older model 47xx. I am running a Dish 500 outside pointed at 110/119, and have a second Dish pointed at 61.5 (from the original HD days of yore). My system uses a SW64 switch. I have been considering ugrading at least one...

Nope - I'm still here as well ... although I have downsized from 4 VOOM receivers to 2 (I still have 4 Echostar receivers) . The VOOM side of the house has been problematic - I had a receiver on the big screen in the loft that decided it didn't want to authorize anymore. Voom just replaced...

Nope - I'm still here! I'm still a a Voomer, but literally hanging on by a thread. I had 4 receivers (as well as 4 Echostar receivers) here. One of the Vooms failed outright, and I was considering dropping the count to 2. When I spoke to Voom, they told me that their HD channel count was going...

VOOM, OTA, and shoddy service(Copied from original thread) Folks - Well, after waiting weeks after my installation to get my OTA setup fixed, VOOM/Installs Inc. setup a service call for today (June 30). The issues to be addressed were: 1) Horrible OTA reception (virtually none) - I...

Moderator Note: Copied thread to the Colorado Voomers thread. Folks - Well, after waiting weeks after my installation to get my OTA setup fixed, VOOM/Installs Inc. setup a service call for today (June 30). The issues to be addressed were: 1) Horrible OTA reception (virtually none)...

Argggh! OTA help PLEASE! Folks - Well, after waiting weeks after my installation to get my OTA setup fixed, VOOM/Installs Inc. setup a service call for today (June 30). The issues to be addressed were: 1) Horrible OTA reception (virtually none) - I would occasionally get channels 2...

Nope - the installers brought everything needed. I think they did install their own switch.

How is Replay better? I received a response from Replay indicating that they had no VOOM support - how are they better? Are you just using it as a digital VCR and using some other mechanism to tune it? I would think that it would be a royal pain to use without a closely inetgrated guide...

Folks - I have an ATI 9700 All In Wonder card in one of my PC's, and among other things I have been using it to watch TV on one of my LCD monitors. It comes with basic PVR capability, and I used to use ith with my Echostar box. Not too exciting as all of the scheduling had to be done by hand...

4 STB's Folks - I had them install 4 boxes with the notion that I could always de-install one or more later. If I had waited to install the additional boxes, there would have been a per box charge ($199?). They charged me an additional $50 for the last box (reasonable). I was also able to...

Well - here's a vote for overtipping Folks - I believe in the Steve Martin line (at least I think it was) from 'My Blue Heaven' - "I overtip EVERYBODY - it's my policy", or words to that effect. As I get older (49), there's a lot of work I don't want to do, nor do I have time for. I work...

Another Colorado VOOMer - online! Folks - Just had my VOOM installed yesterday. I had 4 receivers installed, and for the most part the installation went without a hitch. For reference, the folks who were deployed to do my installation were from a DishConnect subcontractor called 'Point...

Regarding the extra $200 installation fee(s), that's why I'm doing it this way: I currently have 4 Dish receivers... I had wanted to initially install 2 VOOM receivers. Based on the free installation and the inability to simply add additional receivers at the $10/month/receiver price, I'm...

Another new Colorado VOOMer Folks - I will be joining your ranks shortly. My install is scheduled for 5/27/04. I've already had my first (pre-install) glitch in that the installers were planning to use a diplexer to couple my off-air and satellite signals, which I had specifically...
