Thanks! Component it is, I guess ... -RV

Okay, here's an update. The problem DOES seem to be the TV. When the TV is left off, I can switch to 1080i (I can't see the picture, but the top line lights up when I hit the red button). The moment I turn on the TV, the bottom line on the Voom box lights up and I'm in 480i and cannot switch...

Help! Voom Box won't do 1080i Hi folks! PLEASE help me with this bizarre issue. I have been using the Voom box for OTA without any problems over the last few years. Recently, I bought a new receiver, the Onkyo TX-SR705 with three HDMI 1.3 inputs. So, i rewired my whole system so that I...

Hi! I have E* with a Dish 500 and a single dish pointed at 61.8. Can I simply plug a DirecTV receiver into this set up and subscribe to DirecTV programming? Or will I have to install new dishes? That is, is a DirecTV receiver compatible with the E* dishes and LNBs? I can always realign...

Thanks, Scott. This clears it up. One remaining question - I thought if you subscribed to the HD pack, they waived the $6 lease fee. Am I reading that wrong? -RV

Aaargggh. I guess I'll hold on to the 6000 until they move ALL the HD to Mpeg4. Let's say I decided to pay $49 and upgrade to the 211. Then, the absolute bare minimum I would have to pay is $30 + $6? And the $30 is just for the HD channels I am getting now (plus UHD and ESPN2HD)? Why...

So, you are saying that if I want to upgrade to a newer receiver, I CANNOT keep HD channels only (without AT anything)? The only way I can keep my E* bill to $22 is to stay with my current receiver?

Okay, I first promise that I did a few searches to see if the answer to this was already posted. I read through Scott's post on the NEW Dish Network info, but was unable to find the answer to these questions: 1. I have a Dish 6000u receiver (OWNED) and am wondering what the best deal is to...

Frankly, I really don't see how you CAN'T continue the fight. The reason for the protest was the principle of adding a new surcharge just for receiving HD games. They have not, obviously, budged on the tax. Think of it this way. If DirecTV had STARTED this whole thing by announcing a $49...

Surely you do realize that the image is the result of some excellent photoshopping by subdude. If you look at the picture closely, you can see that the message is a "fake" that was added to the Voom background (notice how the text is significantly sharper at the edges than the other Voom...

Got 726 only yesterday and the CallerID does not work for me. I have the phone line plugged in and CallerID works on all my other phones. I can't get it to display *anything* on my screen (small font or not). Does the CallerID work on the DVI out? I turned the callerid on and hit the green...

Hi folks! As an Elvis fan, I was absolutely ecstatic to see Elvis' CHARRO on Divine-HD last week. I thought Divine-HD was the "Gay & Lesbian" channel. Right? What was a hard-core Western like CHARRO doing on Divine-HD instead of the Western channel? Anyone have an explanation for this...

Wooohooo! Great news. Sounds like an interesting lineup. I would appreciate an answer about WorldCinema too. Great channel!

I get black blinks all the time on all the channels. Very annoying. I also get sound burps, but they happen completely independently of the channel blinks.

Yes, I have been having this problem for a while. Even more annoying is occasional sound hiccups. Makes it unwatchable at times. I wish they'd resolve this issue. Sony KP65WS510 RPTV with DVI.
