    Now it is time to write DISH Again.

    I e-mailed Charlie Ergen and requested that he reconsider his HD downrezing strategy and stated that I strongly favour quality over quantity. Historically Dish has successfully used a "fast follower" strategy relative to DirecTV. I believe that following DirecTV to HD-Lite would be a strategic...

    Thanks To Wilt, Sean & Voom CSR'S

    I have been a Voom subscriber since the beginning. In the early days Wilt Hildenbrand of Voom was the person I turned to if I could not resolve an issue through normal channels. Thanks Wilt for going way beyond your job description in helping the early adopters through Voom's early teething...

    921 Wont Stop Recording

    I have the 921 with L185. Timed recordings wont start and real-time activated recordings wont stop. In fact they will not stop even when I go into the DVR menu and select stop. Any suggestions on how to fix these two timer problem...

    Signal Quality numbers and more

    Sean, If Voom gets itself into an HD bandwidth problem, I suggest they reduce the number of channels assigned to the exclusive 21. Cinema 10 could easily be carried on 3 channels given the very frequent repeats. Eventually, Cinema 10 could be handled on one channel when the Voom HD DVR is...

    Good Points And Bad Points After The Software Update (Are you Targeted?)

    I was targeted since last Friday. This evening I decided to see if unplugging the receiver and restarting it would initiate the download. It did. I got my download about 10 minutes later. Derek

    My Evaluation of VOOM after Two Months

    I have been a Voom subscriber since late November. My opinion of the service has eroded over time. I have had good experiences with installation and Voom customer service. I am on my second receiver because the first one had a severe red-push on my Sony front projector. Unfortunately my...

    My Receiver on the Samsung DLP looks dead!

    Sean, what you describe is standard operating procedure for me. Every evening my receiver is showing a red dish symbol even though power is never switched off. The only way I can get the receiver to operate again is to unplug the unit for about 15 seconds. Then it will turn on with the same...

    Voom announces intent to introduce a HD DVR in the summer

    Sean, I believe the thread topic would be more accurate if it stated "Voom announces intent to introduce a HD DVR in the summer of 2004". Derek

    Library of Movies of Cinema 10

    Sean, I agree with you that we need a much larger selection of movies on Cinema 10. Your post of December 23, on this forum, identified 87 HD movies to be shown on HBO in January. I believe that your December 23 post puts Cinema 10 in proper perspective...

    VOOM for HD channels ONLY...

    I am also of the opinion that Voom should be primarily an HD service. We have many choices for SD; Dish, DirecTV or cable. I would be an upset customer if at some future time Voom could not add new HD channels because of the bandwidth allocated to SD channels. I am concerned that too much...

    VOOM - 21 Exclusive Channels: Reduce them to 7!

    Sean, I agree with your fundamental position that 24 HD channels overstates the true value proposition of the current Voom offerings. In my opinion the current 24 HD channels could be comfortably reduced to 10 with little change in the value of the service. My 10 are based on the...

    Red Push on Component Output on VOOM Receiver?

    I used the Voom component cable. This evening I reversed the component cables while watching Showtime HD. There was no change in the picture from Voom. It still had a severe red push. With my Sony projector I could not correct for the red push by adjusting color or hue. The Sony comes with 6...

    Red Push on Component Output on VOOM Receiver?

    This evening I compared the Showtime HD picture from Dish Network with Voom. The Voom picture had a severe red emphasis. The Dish Network picture from my Dish 5000 receiver had a normal color balance. Both signals were fed from their component outputs through a Yamaha receiver to the same...
