    Voom second dish/Superdish install problem

    Well all, I did exactly what was mentioned, hooked the 61.5 dish straight in, did a check switch, it found the DP500,lined the dish up to 61.5 (94% signal strength), put the 61.5 dish into port 2 of the DP21, put the output of the DP34 into port 1 of the DP21, and the only thing the 811 could...

    Voom second dish/Superdish install problem

    I have a Superdish into a DP34 into two 811s. I am trying to get the second dish (a Dish 500 with Dishpro LNB) hooked in. From what I saw in the thread on this, the output (going to the 811) of the DP34 goes into one side of a DP21, and the second dish with Dishpro LNB goes into the other side...

    VOOMERS already switched to another Satellite service (not Cable), happy with HD?

    I already had an 811 so we went back to E*. My impressions is the SD PQ is much better on E* and the HD PQ isn't quite as good as Voom was.

    Sick of phone calls can anyone help me?

    Another option is over on Ebay. DP44's can be had for $79.00 as a 'Buy it now' item. Dishpro dishes can be had for about $39.00. Better than $300 to E* and install it yourself. Another way for only 1 receiver is a DP21 ($3 on Ebay) and the same dish will give you 61.5 to one of your receivers.

    How to get a 61.5 dish to a Superdish?

    For those of us who have the Superdish with the DP34, how, and what kind of LNB does it take to get the 61.5/148 bird on a second dish? The installer tried a SW21 downstream of the DP34 with the old Voom dish pointed at 61.5 and the only signal the STB got was 61.5. So what kind of "second dish"...

    Where to point the dish for the Voom channels?

    Where to point the dish on E* for the Voom channels? Okay guys, I have the E* installer coming in about 40 minutes. I'm getting a Superdish installed but have an extra Dish 500 antenna on the roof already. I want to ask the installer to point it and tie it in so I'm ready for Voom on Sunday...

    Cuban and Voom -- Why Cuban is happy to see Voom go bye-bye?

    I remember On TV, circa 1981. I remember you could get illegal boxes for it on just about every streetcorner too....

    Does Tivo work with Dish?

    I've got a standalone Tivo fed by the S-video output of a 811 feeding a S-Video signal to my 65" and then I have the DVI from the 811 also feeding the TV, PQ sucks with the Tivo. I'm in the bind of most, HDDVR is too darned expensive and MPEG-4 can't be far off, what to do, what to do... Just my...

    Dish gives VOOM customers HD Solution

    I called today and nobody at Dish knew anything about it. I spent 30 minutes on the phone and had to talk to an "account specialist" to get the same terms as the "memo".

    POLL: After VOOM, who will be your provider?

    I already own an E* 811 HD receiver, so I can re-connect with no committment. I prefer a satellite provider since I take my box in my trailer and a second dish for camping in style! :)

    Not that is means anything, but has anyone noticed?

    I was thinking of Tivo'ing HDNEWS for like 24 hours starting late on the 29th and then just rewinding to see what happens, I don't stay up that late.... ;)

    Wow!!! It is Eerily quiet on this board today

    Is Mr Dolan Sr. trying to pull a fast one?

    You would also have to factor into the growth potential the fact that, with the website currently down, how many potential subs is V* losing while this whole soap opera plays out? They may have seen the beginning of a breakout in subscriptions, but, even if Dolan Sr. pulls it off, he has to...

    V* install Tuesday, any experience with Advanced Technologies in Boise, Id.?

    I don't get the locals, we're nestled up against the foothills right in the shadow of all the OTA transmitters on the hill.... :( Not a Voom problem, I couldn't get them with my E* HD box either....

    V* install Tuesday, any experience with Advanced Technologies in Boise, Id.?

    Yes, it was the 18" dish. Signal is 94% on the box, down to 87% when it was raining the other night. I've had no signal loss even with rain so far... Charles

    Question about the little red button

    Will Voom Survive?

    Voom still has many more HD channels than anyone else, it makes sense that if they are not financially sustainable (and it would appear they are not), for either D* or E* to acquire them and the programming. If either did, it wouldn't change our lot much except who the bill came from, maybe a...

    Question about the little red button

    Is there any well to tell what picture quality is being cycled through as you push the button? Aside from the obvious, "what does the picture look like", but is there any way to know for sure you are in 1080i? Thanks, Charles

    V* install Tuesday, any experience with Advanced Technologies in Boise, Id.?

    Thought I'd reply to the list with the installation results if anyone was interested. All went well, the dish was zeroed in with a 94% signal at the box. The only glitch was that I specifically asked for the DVI cable to be hooked up and it wasn't. The cable was left so I installed it myself...

    V* install Tuesday, any experience with Advanced Technologies in Boise, Id.?

    I'm getting VOOM installed on Tuesday, I'm in Boise, Id. and just wondered if anyone has experience with Advanced Technologies out of Nampa? Any other Boise users? I was wondering if we get rain fade up here and/or should I just ask initially for the 24" or 30" dish? Thanks in advance, Charles
