Thanks, I did not understand that that the HD Pack is a pre-req. $20 a month makes it a tougher call.

Voom10($5) + $5 access charge = Pay Dish $10 a month to get the 10 Voom channels. I believe my original post is correct. Already getting what's in Dish's HD pack(and more) from cable. I would still like confirmation on the physical hookup.

So if I can get hold of a 811 Dish receiver, all I have to do is hook it up to my old Voom dish and start paying $10 bucks a month to get the 10 Voom channels? Sounds almost too good to be true. Can someone confirm that this is all that is necessary? Thanks. Steve

Watching Playboy HD last night and was very disappointed. Long shots are fine, but when the camera zooms in on something and you basically have most of what is on the screen moving, the picture quality degrades to something almost unwatchable. It was never like this before the new encoders.

I went the ATSC PC card route and I'm very happy. But if you are not up to doing something like that, here is an alternative: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?A=details&kw=LGLST3410A&is=REG&Q=&O=productlist&sku=342167 They don't have much info about the unit on that site but if...

In the past when I've asked my friends why they would not consider VOOM as their content provider, these are reasons they gave: No regional sports channel. Wife won't allow it because her channels(HGTV, Lifetime, etc.) are not there. No DVR(much less common but still mentioned). It...

Using component output(tried DVI but brightness is way too high and blacks are no longer black). Native resolution of DLP projector is 768 X 1024. Receiver output is 720p.

Why not go through with the install. You get a free antenna installation and HD OTA tuner(Assuming they don't come get the equipment).

Golf Channel is on Voom channel 329.

Please explain the "flaw" and why you feel he is a "nutcase". Are you saying that killing women and children is moral and he should not have had a problem with doing it? Please elaborate.

It would be nice if V* would pay for the upgrade but since neither D* nor E* would pay for it, I can certainly understand why V* would not(especially given the fact they are losing lots of money). I guess it all comes down to whether you want to stand on principle and essentially cut off your...

If you like the service so much then why don't you just get a larger dish? A 24" replacement dish is only $39 at starkelectronic.com. A 30" is $49. Compared to what we pay every month for the service, that is peanuts. Steve
