    [COMCAST] HowTo - 30 second Skip trick for the Motorola 6412 DVR

    Thanks for the tip. Works great. Is there a way to revert back to the beginning of a program by pushing just 1 button, instead of 1 min intervals?

    Yes, There is Life After Voom

    I too had Comcast installed last week. While I was actually a bit sad to disconnect my VOOM box, I quickly got over it when I started using the Video On Demand and the DVR. The picture quality is not quite as good (in fact my wife commented that VOOM was better although she was not a big...

    Detroit VOOM installations

    If someone calls you directly, are you going to charge the consumer, or are you going to charge VOOM? I find it hard to believe that VOOM will do business with installers not affilliated with Installs, INC.

    Voom Phone Line

    Does anybody know why the Caller ID will not work if the phone line is split at the wall? Is there a way to remedy this without running a separate line?

    Occasional Black Screen

    It is good to see that others in the Detroit area are having problems with ABC. I have seen the stutters since Sunday night. I hope they fix it by next Sunday night (Desperate Housewives) or else the boss may order D* or Comcast... Does anyone have a contact at WXYZ that can confirm that...

    E* 921 HD DVR Reduced Price

    Does E* have some inside information about Voom's DVR? Why would they drop the price $400 if there was no competition? The Dishnetwork website: http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/products/receivers/dvr/index.shtml shows a NEW LOW PRICE of $549! I bet this is going to be the approximate...

    Need help...

    I am a current VOOM subscriber, but am a little frustrated with their lack of DVR, no regional sports, unsightly antenna, und, und, und... Cable can provide HD service + HD DVR for $67.00 (the same price as VOOM). Why should I stay with VOOM? Will the HD quality degrade with cable?

    Largest OTA Antenna, still no locals

    Sounds basic but... I had a similar issue. The 10' antenna that was installed (after the original install), was only a VHF antenna. Here in Detroit, the digital signals are broadcast on UHF. Once I purchased a UHF antenna from Radio Shack, I was able to receive the locals. Good luck...

    Homemade HD PVR

    Is it possible to connect a VOOM receiver to a PC videocard (which one?) and record shows on the hard drive, and burn it to a DVD? There aren't the features of pausing live TV, but can't that work?
