    My Story: Left Dish after 7+ years.....

    I am a dish customer but I would like ask you a question. How does Comcast manage to still make money while leaseing its DVR without upfront fees and no comitment? Yes Comcast DVR is not as good as 942 which I have but it doesn't cost $299 to lease. I am still with Dish only...

    It just got to be too much, cancelled Dish

    You are talking about ethics? Remember that Dish is run by two former poker players (Charlie and Jim) who were thrown out of Las Vegas for counting cards. :devil: :devil:

    Voom to stay HDLITE in MPEG 4

    There are not enough customers who understand quality over quantity to impact Dish or Directv corporate decision making at this point in HD life cycle. By very nature Satellite business has to be spectrum efficient to make money. Until there are enough of us who do understand to make...

    Even with a DVR...

    I agree. I stopped watching movies on non premium channels long long time ago. At least Discovery Channel only does around 20 minutes of comercials per hour. What we need is an edit option on DVR so we can cut out unwanted portion of a recorded show and then watch it.

    Existing Customer: Dish HD Options

    I agree with you. As voom and dish customer, I can't lease 942. If I canceled Dish when I got Voom I would be able to get 942 now. That was confirmed to me by several Dish reps. It is incredibly stupid policy which will cause them to loose customers.

    Picture Quality AWESOME ON NEW VOOM TIER !

    I agree with you Voom channels on 811 look much worse than on Voom. Both resolution and color saturation are much worse. I have Sony XBR960 34 inch 1080i tube and I am using DVI inputs. I used the same factory default settings on TV inputs for both Voom and 811 boxes. For my taste last night...

    Newbie Needing Help!!!!

    Try SS 2000 Winegard amplified antenna. It is perfect for mutiplexing problems that you get in urban or mountain terrain in your case. I just bought SS 1000 non amplified version for $82 and I can get perfect reception in house ( 20 miles away). You need S2200 because of your distance.

    VOOM gone OTA here

    I talked to Winegard tech support guy who knew exactly why Voom box works and 811 doesn't. Voom box is better at dealing with multipathing issues than 811 and other OTA receivers. I have WineGard 2200 powered antenna and no amount of additional power or amps will help if a reciever can't deal...
