    ...from 5/26/05, they talked about flashing the voom receivers for Dish, and were looking into it, since there are > 150k recievers set for voom. Now if they could have just done that a month ago for all us voomers That wanted to keep viewing!! I really hope they do, d* hd stbs suck. GG

    No final Statement?

    FYI, The old voom box CAN receive E*!

    Is the cam not the card itself?? At least in the case of NV, With a DVB decoder and a valid card I assumed that would get dish (With their blessing of course). As far as the title, it may turn out not to be a fact - I was only trying to start a dialog, if it turns out to be untrue then the...

    FYI, The old voom box CAN receive E*!

    ...to do DVB, it's all in how you diddle the mode registers and since you already found a DVB selection in the hidden menus that could really mean fta may be in the near future. You can be sure mot* had tested all of this and just put a block in the software when it was customized for voom. GG

    FYI, The old voom box CAN receive E*!

    Yes, it can with a software download! I rebut, I have seen many posts on this board where it was said the hardware would not EVER support it, Again all I am doing with this post is FYI If no one is interested in this info and only wants to argue then mods please delete, I will go away. gg

    FYI, The old voom box CAN receive E*!

    ...dish ready!!! Another interesting feature of the chip is a PVR, while all the hardware is NOT in the Voom box for that to work, another download from mot* will make the box do E* just fine. Also the mpeg4 upgrade slot is real and ready!!! Will this happen? Only time can tell.... GG

    What about us Charter Members!

    Glad to hear CVS is still out there for us? By jnardone: "Cablevision will eventually make good on their agreement (within two to three weeks according to the CSR's)" If this is true then I feel better already, However everyone that is in this boat with me should let your voice be heard in...

    What about us Charter Members!

    ...it would continue for years! I expected to amortize the cost of my equipment (about $1200.00) over at least 3 or more years and did not even get half of that. Ya there is room to be mad and all you that just say suck-it-up please go to the e* forum that’s the service you have now right? GG

    ...the math and even with all the so call perks along the way it still costed $120 a month for the basic package and one plus pack, No one here feel slighted at all?? I feel sold out with the xfer of all assets to e* with no mind to us voomers that helped get it started in the first place. GG

    What about us Charter Members!

    ...and did not even have the vava package. I feel voom owes us some $ back on our stb's and/or something better then what I will get by just going e*. Come-on charter members, add up your monthly and upfront bills and divide by the number of months you got service you will be shocked how...

    OTA and Voom Receivers

    As it stands, EPG (Electronic Program Guide) will not work with no sat signal. Very limited EPG is on the OTA signal anyway, most OTA box's are tied to sat signals for EPG so I would not expect anything there. I have now left the sat unplugged since I started this thread (about a week) and...

    OTA and Voom Receivers

    Tech stuff first, As it stands right now you can unplug the sat input and unplug the receiver and when repowered the OTA still works with no guide info. I can't say for sure if there is a kill date embeded in the system if no sat sig is received in a certain amount of time, but for now...

    ...capability to supply all 36 transponders if needed, how be it not all @ double wattage. Right now it's loafing up there sharing it's dutys with E* bird. On the short term E* wants it for backup, longer term they most likely will move their bird to another slot. Still lots of time for...

    Letter from Inverstors to Chuck: (Voom/Echostar merge?)

    ...There is like 40 TWT tubes on board, enough to supply all of voom and a dozen or so more transponders (Vooms transponders take 2 twt's each), so E* can get use of rainbow I and not even take away from voom. They have their freq. assignments covered with their sat right now so the extra...

    A open letter to NBC regarding their coverage of the 2004 Athens Olympics in HD

    This is a open letter to NBC regarding their coverage of the 2004 Athens Olympics in HD. While I applaud the 24 hour coverage in HDTV I am surprised at the lack of consideration of your HD viewers by denying us real-time and primetime coverage. The decision to separate your HD (DTV)...
