    TV output from 3xx box to ViP622?

    I agree, but I just want the easiest way to get the 2nd TV signal from my 622 to the TV the 3xx is powering now. It's been over 100 here in Abilene, so attic crawling is at the bottom of my list! :p I can even turn the 3xx box back into Dish - I never really use it's secondary feed in the...

    TV output from 3xx box to ViP622?

    The ViP622 is in the living room - only feeds that TV. The other receiver is a Dish 322. It's located in a guest room, and also feeds the master bedroom. What I wanted done was to have the ViP622 in the living room feed its 2nd output to that guest room, and have the 322 only feed the...

    TV output from 3xx box to ViP622?

    My installer hooked up my 622 in living room to HDTV. However, I need the 2nd feed going to daughters room, so she can watch down-converted Monsters HD! He set it up with HER receiver being the primary 1st TV, and other bedroom 2nd off of it. How difficult would it be for me to switch...

    How has your 622 performed for you?

    Random turn on and channel change Those are my two problems. I've had to reboot it only twice in 2 weeks, so, for new stuff, I ain't complaining too much. Anybody else having these problems? I even stuck the attenae attenuator on the wire thinking it might be a neighbor's remote...

    Best Dish HD w/ DVR deal now?

    Hello, Folks! I'm not too lazy to search around for this info, but I just moved and am stuck in a hotel w/ crappy dialup connection. (Guess I should change my name now that I exscaped to TX!) I was a charter Voom member, but was on Charter cable (retch) up to when I move, while waiting...

    DISH to carry all 21 in 2006

    ...dish to get the Voom offer? Not even sure what loc Voom/Dish are at... IF I have to pay for it, is this 'Club Dish' $50-off thing legit? I can't get any HD thru Charter Cable here in the desert - aside from the Voom channels is there any big diff between E* and D8 now as far as HD goes?

    Here's a good one...

    God forbid you try to quit Voom... :mad: I just called Voom to try switching to the rental program from charter membership. Rep put me on hold, and then he told me they can't do it because it 'screws up their system'. I told him fine then, go ahead and cancel my service - I want my...

    Ti, I'm with you. I'm calling tomorrow to have them refund my $$. I'll sign up for the rental, and piss my $1200 refund off in Vegas next month... :P

    new policy at Voom - if you downgrade VAVAVOOM no more free plus pack

    Hey, 4 days left on MBG. A mass exodus of 'Charters' would hit their bottom line, no? Screw me once, shame on me. Screw me twice...

    Voom, Direct*, Dis* Comparison

    That's exactly the kind of info I was asking for, DD. Thanks. I intend to take them up on the MBG and go with the rental plan - that way it sits easier on my mind. $1200 is a lot of $$ for something that I can rent for $10/month.

    Voom, Direct*, Dis* Comparison

    ...go for 199 channels of digital cable. I can only watch so much TV in a day... I just wanted to get opinions from some people who've had the D* services since I never have. I think Voom in general kicks ass for HD programming. Aside from the problems I've had, some of them my own...

    Voom, Direct*, Dis* Comparison

    I've never had the D*s. CAn someone convinve em that I should be payin gthis much to get 1950s movie that are reformatted to widescreen? I mean, really, if it wasn't filmed in HD - what's the point? Don't the D*s have the same HD channels aside from the Voom Cinema 10 stuff? I only watch...

    VOOM to employ Windows Media 9

    ...MS puts out buggy software and then patches the Hell out it once the bugs are reported. However, the WMV9 is out now, and I must admit it kicks a**. The compression is just amazing. Last year, for personal use, I thought the DIVX CODEC was viable, but it's a pain in the ass to use...

    Are you going to deinstall to switch to lease?

    I gotta get my money back and resubscribe... It just doesn't make sense to me to keep my purchase at the price I paid. $1200 for a 3-room setup. Even after cancelling the Charter Member deal , I pay $85 (including HBO Plus pack, and 9.50 per 3 STB). That extra $45/month will still take me...

    A Word On VOOM Picture Quality

    Ah, Spring Time! Amazing how you can fix reception problems, and go from a signal of 60 to 90! Just by cutting down the new budding tree limbs that have grown since install in Jan...what a bonehead I am.

    Problems with Sat and OTA - HELP!

    Yep, I unplugged and 5-seconded the switch numerous times last night and today. < 50 signal was actually working fine for me until this started this month. Like I said, I had over 80 last night, but now worse, for now. Will try unplugging one more time. I have an idea though. I'm gonna...

    Problems with Sat and OTA - HELP!

    May04=Mar04 Never saw it get over 50 before this period of software upgrades. The tech at the time said 50 was great (back in January). These problems all started ~ when the May04 (Ooops, Mar04, of course) trial period was up. Had 2 lines at install - dig cable & Voom. Diplexed before...

    Problems with Sat and OTA - HELP!

    Just rebooted 10 minutes ago, and setup shows it. Signal strenth is ~68. IT was only 48 when I installed it (up in the 80s last night, though) Any idea why my OTA signal is 38, but power is zero? Never have been able to get signal from the 12 OTA channels listed.
