VOOM-original capability ever to arrive? Remember Way back in the dark ages, when we had VOOM as a provider, and right before they went belly-up, they promised these really cool multi-room streaming DVR's, which I think DirecTV bought the rights/technology to? Well...here we have Active...

Short version: I had E* for 4 years, including 6000 + 921. Sold out and went to Voom. Voom died, went to cable, waiting for: 1) MPeg4 receiver deals for "new subscribers" 2) Whole-house DVR (or equivalent) 3) VOOM content to be bought (already had cable by time of E*/V* announcement -grrr)...

My bet - December 11, 2005 I know I'll be wrong based on historical evidence, but... Just like the 921, I believe they will release *SOMETHING*, whether it is ready or not in December of this year, for the Christmas season. I believe they will start advertising in September that it will be...

Overstated Certainly there are plenty of people who may feel as strongly as to say "hate", but personally, I don't. I am *annoyed* with Dish ;) ... Like a burr under the saddle...I would say that I dislike companys that forget who the customer is, but the reality that I'm probably not their...

Basically, my feelings about E* service and product(s) matches the same comments as the "8 years E*, moving to D*" thread from a day or two ago, except that I really want HD, and want to give V* a try. However, if it fails to deliver the goods, or the business finally goes insolvent, or is...

What about the EPG from the OTA station itself? I hate to be dense, but I thought that the 811 received the capability a while ago to decode the Program Guide data transmitted as part of the OTA transmission? However, even with 284, I could not see that data, as of last night. I assume I...

I'm glad there's at least 1 other responsible parent out there I agree with your analysis, above. I have a similar problem with our local television stations, which on Saturday morning run the latest killing/murdering/depravity they can find right before they switch to Nick Jr. at 8:00am...

I just wanted to point out that Microsoft has successfully used this same principle for *YEARS* to kill their competition. Take Novell for instance...they had (and some could argue still have) a superior LAN networking solution to Microsoft's offering. But, MS marketed the h*** out of their...

Every relationship dies when communication ceases. Intentionally terminating a communication pathway that one party at least clings to the notion of it holding value sends a powerfully negative message. I think to sum up the points of this discussion thread (and add my own perspective): *)...

Keep in mind that I know nothing As a technical question, oh Sagely-types... I thought that the Dish boxes worked on MPEG2, and that the VOOM boxes worked on MPEG4 and/or WMP9 formats? If so, is this being done in software (hard to imagine), or on a hardware accelerator? If the latter...

Here here... Ditto...mine will be available on Ebay in ~ 1 hour...it's already there, just waiting for the clock to reach the right time to start...24 hours from now, I'll be done with my 921. V* or D* will be getting my business within 6 months. As soon as I know the lay of the HD-DVR...

ROI not Technical problem I thought I had seen in prior messages that the 921 is really running on Linux. If that is correct, then it would be entirely possible to restore from tape and playback off the DVR menu. ...being unfamiliar with the D-VHS standard, it is entirely possible/likely that...

I don't know what changed between last night and today. Last night, I was watching a show, and powered off the tv with the TV power button, specifically to test the segregation between the main power and tv power buttons, and the TV turned off, yet the vocals from the show continued. I have...

Not so, my good man.... Please try your TV Power button. :D You'll note that it no longer powers off the 921 at the same time. It only powers off the TV - as expected! I must say that I was hoping for a fuller release, but at least this 1 improvement is really welcome. Also, (and I...

DP34, yes DishPro Adapter, yes easy

Odd...I thought the comment was intended for me. For some reason, I was assuming the "hate" comment was directed at me simply for pointing out that we lack *any* information with which to make a real assessment of Charlie's success or failure at negotiating. I agree, more or less, with your...

I have S-video, with no problem I am currently connecting my 811 to a standard 27" tv in bedroom via S-video, and have not noticed a darkness problem yet (and I really would...) However, I did only receive mine this week, so I started with the latest software rev.

Amen Already did, and happy for it.

Still better than 921 OTA, and yes I have an 811 and 921 (sold my 6000 when I got my 921 and converted to Dish Pro)...I think it is funny how people say the 811 is so unstable and bad OTA, when I would say it is generally as stable, and probably more stable than the 921...and its OTA is...

Hmmm.... I was supposed to receive my replacement 2 days ago... they said that they no longer fix yours and send it back to you, but rather everything is advance replacement...so I could easily get saddled with someone else's junk receiver that's been "factory-renewed". I'd really rather they...

Details lacking The sad truth is that we have no idea what the terms of the agreement are. For all we know, Dish may be paying 1 cent more per month per subscriber than the best rate quoted prior to dropping the channels. Or, we may be 20 cents per month per subscriber better off. Either...

921 will hold its price These are in such short supply, that if you put it on Ebay, you'll get your money back - at least for now while the prognosis is still good for the Viacom deal working out quickly. I, too, have a 921, and I believe wholeheartedly that I could walk away at any time, and...

I, for one, will give no more than 2 weeks from today until I leave E* for another vendor, should Dish & Viacom fail to come to an agreement. What is your max timeline?

You go girl! Ditto. I'm going to go start a new thread related to this very topic, if it doesn't already exist, which will read "how many weeks until you leave dish for this?" My timeline is 2 weeks from today. After that, if they don't have an agreement, I'm gone. I have local cable (now...

So, how much really is 40% increase? Here's my problem with the $1... two issues, really... 1) If we're so worried about a 40% increase, but the package only costs $1/mo, then the "whopping" increase is from $1 to $1.40. Is there really anyone out there who would not have paid the $.40/mo...
