Hey, Kevin. I just signed up to have Gregg come to San Antonio to do my set in the July timeframe. He needs another customer or two in the Austin area to make the trip affordable by splitting the costs. If you live nearby, perhaps he could include you in a multiple customer trip to Texas...

Good input guys on PQ on Dish. I went with Time Warner temporarily until the HD Delivery Wars worked themselves out. Because my HD DVR could only support composite out, I've noted a very real reduction in PQ from cable. I always used Discovery HD as the acid test and it is good, but not great on...

Got Time Warner cable installed yesterday with the Scientific Atlanta HD DVR. At first I was a bit disappointed but it looks like it will be ok until something better comes up. Of course you can't expect the installer guy to set it up correctly for HD so with a bit of fiddling around with it...

I did a lot of research when I bought my Samsung 61" DLP and wound up going with Abe's of Maine (actually, they are in Brooklyn, NY). I would up saving almost $1,400 off of the same set at the local Circuit City, including the cost of shipping. Digital Kings and several other stores from those...

I called Time Warner and ordered cable last night. Again, thanks to this forum, I mentioned that I was a long time satellite customer switching and they had a similar unpublished deal. I would up getting digital cable, HD STB, HD DVR, install and wiring within the house as I have never had cable...

Guys I'm going to have to go with Time Warner Cable until someone comes out as the HD provider of choice. One problem I've heard of in the San Antonio area is that is you go with Time Warner and choose the HD DVR, they have electronically deactivated the DVI output on the box. This forces...

Wow! Where'd you find 77 and 87 inch DLPs? Are they projectors? When I bought my Samsung, 61" DLP, it was the biggest you could buy. I've heard recently that Samsung was working on an 80" DLP projection, but that it wasn't in a product for sale just yet. I was comparing it to the Sony Grand...

61" Samsung DLP. PQ does seem to vary channel to channel and day to day at times. Some overcompressed SD channels look especially bad. Example Outdoor Life. Some SD channels like CNN Headline News used to have some severe C-BAND sparklies, but they seem to have gone away and now PQ on CNN...

Guys, this makes four different channel addition groups in the last month or so. I would venture to say it is a good indicator that the service isn't going anywhere. Keep bringing them on!

Yep. Noticed it to last night on Rave and again this morning on Headline News.

I did my part. Conf number 2005324231479 Hope it helps

My best friend got tired of starving his new HDTV and he waited for a good install deal on Voom. His install is scheduled for this coming Monday. He is the one that called me and said the Voom web site was down and asked me what was going on. If they show up on Monday, he's going to have them...

Bruce, sorry about that. I got to the forum by using a "guest" account. Once you do that, click on the 4DTV forum. They've got a couple of relevant discussions going on.

Guys, just saw this on the 4DTV forum page at http://forums.satforums.com/SatForumMaster/index.php?msg=11453.1 Voom stated today that Echostar would run VOOM as a seperate entity due too its HIGH END "HD". Thus E* would have DISH and VOOM as individual entities. Don't know if this is...
