This last week I received a flyer from dish stating that my existing receivers would not pick up HD programming after August 15 and that, if I want to continue getting HD programming, I had to replace my receivers. I called Dish up and I was told that Dish would no longer transmit in MPEG 2...

I own a couple of 942s and I have an HD + VOOM only package. My Dish bill runs around $50 per month including dvr fees, etc. I'm thinking of switching my 942s out with 622s and going for the MPEG4 HD channels. When I called csr today and asked about MPEG4 HD Only pricing I was told that an...

The new 622 receivers are currently selling on ebay!!! It looks like the first bid date ends on 01/30 but the add states shipment withing 48 hours. So I guess that gets them past the 2/1 date. The prices are currently bidding about $100 higher than the 942s ending bid prices but the 622...

OK, you need a power inserter for each receiver connected when you use a DPP44 switch. There are four receiver outlets on the DPP44 but only one power inverter comes with the switch. For the life of me I can't find where to buy just the power inverter but you must be able to buy them somewhere...

I just installed a new 942 and did an off-the-air digital channel scan and about 13 channels I've only seen as satellite or cable channels scanned in. These channels included the channels I've listed above in the Dallas area. Does anyone know anything about subscription channels entering the...

I have been looking at a bunch of different types of consumer electronics equipment recently and it appears to me that we are on the threshold of yet another electronics revolution (I guess I had an epiphany). This revolution is being accelerated by the introduction of high definition...

You can find a new 942 on ebay for about $600 and a new 921 for about $450. Reading over the specs I can't find much difference between the two. Is it worth paying an extra $150 for the 942 and, if so, what are the differences that make it worth it?

I'm looking at setting my computer up so I can play DVDs, access the Internet and do gaming on my HDTV. After spending all day at the electronics stores I'm still very confused. Here are some of the questions I have; 1. I have an older HDTV so I have to go with component cables. I found...

You want more HD from Dish? I'm an ex-VOOMER and we ex-VOOMERS know how to get the HD we want - We pay for it!!! What Dish packages do you have? The 180 favorite package? The 120 favorite package? What premium package do you have? Starz? CineMAX? There is not a single HD channel in...

I just got a new 811 to replace my old VOOM system. I have been try get the 811 to operate my Sony A/V system. I got the 811 receiver to turn off the Sony system once but that's all. I think the problem is with the IR blaster at the front of the 811 box. My understand of the manual is that...

You know we got so use to complaining about VOOM we lost sight of what a great deal it was. With the basic VOOM package we got all the local is both SD and HD, 130 SD channels PLUS the VOOM 21 HD original channels PLUS TNT-HD, UHD, Discovery-HD and ESPNHD all for $49.95 (I was a charter member...

OK, I guess I'm going to be here a while. Let's get serious with this form. I was with Charter for years. I use to email them at least once a week when HD first started coming out. After years with no replies to my emails and no HD I finally left Charter. Within months after I left...

I have two high definition, state of the are, satellite boxes sitting in my house right now that I can't sell on ebay for more than $20. I've spent close to $2000 the last 18 months on a system that no longer provides service. On top of that I'm feeling withdraw pains from the loss my beloved...

The HD-DVR and the "whole house solution" are now being advertised on the VOOM website. I might be wrong but I don't believe these were on there before. There is no availability date but I think it's promising that this equipment is now on the web site.

HDTV is like freedom. No, HDTV IS freedom. YOU can't stop it! YOU can't control it! YOU can only enjoy it! Enough said! Thank you Mister Dolan! Ala Akba! Amen.

Let see, we have this movie about a guy that does exactly the same thing day after day, after day, after day.... except it's always the same day. He goes to jail, he gets killed, but then he wakes up and he starts the same day all over again. OK, I'm getting bored with this. Let's flip the...

Maintenance Contracts? I signed on with VOOM back in 2003 but it came with a two year maintenance agreement that I have more that six months left on. That maintenance agreement was one of the key reasons I was willing to invest in VOOM. I know many people have recently signed up with six...

VOOM for $0 up front???????????????? I just went to the VOOM site and it said $0 up front cost with VOOM!!!!! The package link won't open yet. What's up with this????

It was post on the Yahoo VOOM forum that these channels are coming next week along with a software upgrade. Wilt at VOOM has been saying he is going to give us a software upgrade soon. Could be some truth to this, although I won't hold my breath.

I keep getting a blue shift that show up most notably on the up/down arrows in the lower left corner of the VOOM menus. I keep going to the convergence menu on the TV to fix it but the convergence always seems to be fine. Has anyone else noticed a blue shift coming out of the VOOM box?

I'm sure all of you have noticed the disclaimer on your VOOM bill that says VOOM will discontinue offering the Sports and Marquee PlusPacks in April. I talked to the VOOM CSR once about this and asked him what channels were affected by this statement, he was evasive about the question and I...

Are any of you guys with multiple satellite system setups using a multiswitch to combine the two systems and use a satellite inside the house to go to the two system receivers? Or can you explain how you have your multiple systems set up? Do you run separate feeds from the dish all the way to...

The VOOM FAQ file says you have to have two satellite lines leading to the receiver if the receiver has a DVR. The installation diagram shows a multiswitch if you have more than two recievers on the VOOM dish. Since I have two VOOM receivers, if I upgrade to DVR, I will need four satellite...
