    Hit the Voom button on your remote (lower right corner shows green button and "options and settings"), then hit the green button, then scroll down to "favorites" on that menu using the down arrow button just above the Voom button. Next hit the "OK" button. You can now scroll through and choose...

    2 New Channels added

    Everytime they show a Champion's League match on ESPN2, at the end they'll say something like; "Coming up next on ESPN Desportes, our next match of the day.". Now I get to watch it! Thank you Voom!

    Which HD Cinema Movies have you seen?Would you like to post your review of the movie?

    The Hidden Fortress - 3.5 stars. I'm a huge Akira Kurosawa fan and I've seen this movie 5 or 6 times. Follow along and you can see where George Lucas got his idea for the plot to Star Wars. That makes it a must see for any Star Wars fans out there, and hopefully they'll become fans of Kurosawa...

    Tucson, Az

    Thanks. I did search before posting, but all I could come up with was a guy in Douglas, Az, which is over 100 miles away from me.

    --HDMI Question--

    Another option is to just hook up your Voom STB using component video cables, and use the HDMI receptacle for your DVD player. I just got Voom installed the other day so I'm not sure if there's a difference in quality between DVI and component video, although I think I read one post in here that...

    Tucson, Az

    Anyone with Voom in Tucson, Arizona? My install was two days ago. I was wondering what kind of reception you're getting for locals. I'm on the west side near Silverbell & Grant and can only get 3 out of 14 local channels listed in my program guide. They are 27-1, 27-2, and 40-1 which is a...

    Soccer on WorldSport: UEFA Cup or Frienly Matches? What would you prefer?

    I vote UEFA Cup games for the same reason...they actually mean something. Champion's League would be even better, but I guess those rights are sold to somebody else....ESPN.

    Pre-install prep

    Thanks Stone Man. My component video cables are already earmarked for my DVD player, so I figured the Voom STB would get the DVI connection. Since I only have one set of component cables, and it's about $60 for another set, I should go with the DVI-HDMI cable @ $35. I'd already been looking at...

    Pre-install prep

    Just ordered Voom and it's supposed to be installed on 10/06. I have a new Hitachi 57F510 TV with an HDMI plug instead of DVI. In the FAQ it says VOOM comes with a DVI-D cable, so will I need a DVI to HDMI adapter? How long is the DVI-D cable provided by the installer? I'll need about a 10ft run...
