    I just got a call today from ATT telling me that my DVR has been updated to their new WHDVR. Sweet it works and it looks like they made some other changes too.

    returning customer to D*

    I've called twice and still I get the same response. I just don't understand how they can just let Dish Network walk all over them with the offer of a FREE HD DVR.

    returning customer to D*

    ...I got was basically no. So my question is does anybody know if Direct tv plans to offer a deal similar to Dish Networks for a free HD DVR? All D* had was a $100 instant rebate, so the HD DVR would be $199. Ouch! When I asked why they didn't have a compareable offer the rep. said that Dish...

    45 GB HD DVD Tested.. bye bye Blu Ray

    That's true. From what I've read the PQ is bad. I would blame that on the porting process as the disk it self would not cause the bad PQ. They were just rush to market before they were polished. It's just bad presentation.

    I guess you could say the same for HD-DVD.

    45 GB HD DVD Tested.. bye bye Blu Ray

    I wouldn't say bye bye Blu-ray. Dual layer BR hold up to 50gbs and I think I read somewhere that Sony is work on a Quad layer BR disk with a capacity of 100GB :shocked. The HD-DVD site didn't say that the 45GB disk was single or dual layer so don;t yell at me if I'm comparing a single layer to...

    I wondered why Voom Died, Now I know!

    You also have to remember that is takes time to film NEW content and edit for the public. It just doesn't happen overnight. Bam we ahve a years worth of new HD content. It just isn't going to happen. Watch any new channel, HD or SD for the first year or 2 and you'll see the samething.

    Voomers Who Came To Dish, What's Your Take On the HD?

    I would have to disagree. I don't have the Voom channels yet on Dish but Discovery HD is definitely not as crisp as it was on Voom. When I get my second Dish installed I'll update about the Voom 10.

    How To Use Your Voom Dish With Dish Network..

    That sucks. I want Voom but I don't want all those dishes on my roof. I would think they would have it where everything is on one dish but I guess they just don't have the room on the sats to do that. I guess it's one of the drawback of satellite.

    How To Use Your Voom Dish With Dish Network..

    Is there any chance that Dish will move the Voom channels to the Sat I'm using. I mean don't they have to be on one sat or do they expect me to cover my house with there dishes. How can I find out what sat I'm using?

    How To Use Your Voom Dish With Dish Network..

    So let me get this straight. I just got Dish Network installed last weekend and it's a the 811 receiver and the Dish pro dish. I was a Voom customer till it went black, so I still have my Voom dish up. All I need to do is run a line from the Voom dish to a switch and then to the receiver and...

    Voom's free switchover offer to Dish far from free...

    Are they planning on moving the Voom programming on to one sat? Because having two dishes on your roof is real ugly IMO. Also how many people are really going to get a second dish put up for the Voom HD channels when most havn't even heard of those channels.

    Other Voom Satellites?

    I read the same thing and I think it was on the Voom website. It said something that Lockheed Martin had a contract to build new sats for Voom. I'm not sure when they were suppose to start building them.

    Just got a call from Voom in which I was told Voom won't end at the end of the month.

    Maybe Charles will purchase the Voom programming and customer base and start a new DBS ala Voom part 2. I guess he could use AMG 6 Rainbow 2. Or maybe I'm way off base or it could be all this up and down that my brain has been badly bruised.
