    Opinions wanted from those who swtiched to Dish HD Package???

    My Voom to Dish Experience. I was a loyal Dish customer for 3 years. I had tried to go HD, but the equipment outlay was so high I couldn’t justify it for such a small offering of programming. I found this forum in February of 2004 and began considering Voom as a provider. After a much needed...

    Current Dish/VOOMer so whats our deal going to be??

    I had a similar experience... First call I fessed up to being a "former" dish customer, (I left d* a year ago to go vooming). Immediately I was advised that there was no way I could get a HD receiver unless I wanted to purchase the 811 for $413.00. NO thanks. I went to EBAY and bought a 811...

    Dish refuses to allow me to have 2 DVR 942

    So move on! You can buy a new one on EBAY if it's that important to you. I had to buy an 811 because as a former dish customer (left over a year ago)I did not qualify for the VOOMer special. It's their game, you got to play by their rules.

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    Purchase price minus $5 per month... Isn't thant the fee per month we "rental" customers paid? I have to admit, fear of Voom's demise did play a part in my decision to rent, but I don't think those who purchased should be stuck with a overpriced paper weight.

    Thank You letters to VOOM and Charles Dolan

    Mr. Dolan, you are a true visonary... Like most voOm subscribers, I tried the others. I had DirecTV just weeks after the service was available, then years later moved to DishNetwork. My HD inputs on my SONY 53" were unused for 3 years, and not appreciated until you "opened our eyes" with your...

    Where are the new Channels?

    Oh, Grasshopper, you have much to learn... If you read this forum often you should know that CSRs are the LEAST reliable source of information, right below crystal balls and divining rods. But don't worry, it will all be fixed in "two weeks". Right, gang?! :D

    Cablevision Chairman To Use Cash, Stock To Fund Voom

    Seems to me we are up to our a$$ in alligators. I think it's wise to deal with that and finish "draining the swamp" at a later point. Eddie

    Do you have a new provider lined up if Voom goes dark on 4/1/05??

    I agree with TheTimm... It's Voom or a combination of OTA and DVD's.

    No complaints on HD... But the "red-sparklies" on TBS last night were terrible.

    Repeating Stutter in Composite Output

    I've been using the composite output for recording on my pc since I got VOOM almost a year ago (I actually view the component output on my sony rp). I feed the composite signal into my ATI All-In-Wonder and capture it to the hard disc. Since the last update, I have had a repeating stutter...

    Universal HD schedule

    They are showing "Touching Evil" now... That was the best show on USA last fall (And the idiots dumped it). It's reruns, but at least there is hope. The PQ and sound are awesome. (HD makes the reruns look new again)

    Is there any chance to get rid of the land phone line requirement

    I believe it's more of a security issue... The sales rep I had (back in May) asked me three times if I had a land-line phone, and stressed that it was required, not optional. Someday someone will figure out how to "clone" a VOOM receiver (if they have not already done so). It will be little...

    buying used voom system any problems?

    I don't care who you are or where you live, I was referring to attempts to fraudulently obtain services. You are probably pretty insulated from it if you really do live in Canada, but anyone who gets involved on this end ...who knows? (Seawaves, I believe that "Fraudulently obtaining goods or...

    buying used voom system any problems?

    I did not accuse him of anything... If you knew anything about pirated satellite reception you'd understand my remarks. Obviously you don't. Your other remarks don't deserve an answer.

    buying used voom system any problems?

    This is why they don't activate boxes they didn't sell... Next thing you know some geek will clone one and sell them everywhere. The one thing VOOM has done right is protect their service from theft. Sooner or later that will make them more appealing to content providers. In my book, that...

    Rave-HD: Rave in Concert Starts at 9pm EST

    I cranked it up on Cyndi... ...and rocked all the way through Mayall and Clapton. BTW, most of those bands you named would give their left n#$ to be able to play like Clapton. ;) I would love to see the Nuge in HD.:yes

    buying used voom system any problems?

    Sean, Ilya... Sounds to me like this Weagle guy is treading awfully close to piracy, which is banned in this forum. Someone needs to pull the plug on this one... I really thing it's one of the regular trolls under an assumed name. Same BS, different alias.
