Thanks for the info, I don't need the extra inputs if the PQ on thenm is that bad, my Amp and TV have better inputs so I'll use those.

I am getting the the 811 receiver soon and as was looking over the back panel pics I saw that it has 2 sets of video input jacks? Can those be used to monitor an external source, (Xbox or Media center PC etc), in a split screen or PiP.

I too loved MOOV/LAB, Tank is great (also a favorite withe kids). I called it the screensaver channel. Its very true that its one of the first channels show off cause your almost guaranteed to see eye candy, as opposed to a high def head shot of some unshaven extreme sports guy in the jungle.

2 leased Miami VOOM Boxes still worked for OTA on Sunday afternoon before I reconnect my E* feeds. one box was unplaged on Friday night. The other I Watched till 2:30AM sunday Morning. Then I disconected it from the wall. Later on Sunday morning a I had to do a soft boot. when I reconnected...

heheh already there, They had to put up the second dish so I could get my WLRN CH 17 (local) here in Miami. and it was FREE! I'm guess I'm glad I returned to the dark side!

For all my bluster about not going back to anyone and just watching OTA... Well it was all hot air, as soon as my wife pointed out that the Marlins games are only on the Sunshine Network..... I signed back up with Dish Network yesterday and reconnected my non HD BR TV DishNet STB. (thats a...

Thanks Ilya! I appreciate the info (I'm disconnecting my dish Just in Case)

Grrrrrrrr :mad: Sounds like we will all be screwed for the OTA if thats the case.... Oh well off to buy the ATI AIW HD. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Well we all need to go look at our terms of service to see if the use of the receiver is contingent upon the use of the service - more than likely it is. Then you'd have to look to see what happens if Voom is unable to fulfill their end, more than likely the equipment is disabled. Remember...

But (going on this scenario), if you put the card back in wouldn't it detect that the "D-Day" has occured and activate the Kill anyways? I suppose this really depends on the intricacies of Card programming and on that I freely admit my ignorance.

Ok Folks, I was having a lively discussion with some coworkers concerning the the OTA use of the STB's after the 30th. It was pointed out that newly canceled customers are getting their Boxes shut down immediately. Most of the talk on the board here has centered on them sending a kill signal...

that about Sums it up... I've told my wife that We are going to OTA HD (if we can keep the VOOM STB) and save the 67.00 per month, of course Baseball season has started (Go Marlins!!) so that might fly for about 1 month. I honestly don't know. Crawling back to sd E* sticks in my craw but I...

Dental Floss Tycoon!!!!! Edit (I suppose I should the entire thread before responding)

All kidding and whatnot aside (see my other posts), others on this thread have said it better than I could but I would like to throw in my 2 pesos, THANK YOU to all the (former) VOOM Employees (cableready et. al) for your service, while I have had my gripes about the service from time to...
