    Your smart card does not currenly have authorization to view or order this program.

    I don't know if this is related but last night random channels were showing a black screen...sound but no picture. This was primarily on the HD channels but not all of them. Even those stored on my external drive were the same, black screen, no picture. I started to call Dish but decided to...

    Circuit City Pulling off a Fast One?

    I have had exact opposite experiences than posters saying BB is better. Over many years I have been able to get in and out of CC in minutes and always able to find someone to wait on me. Good luck in BB, at least where I live. I now buy everything (almost) on Amazon.com. Discounted...

    How much longer will you be with Dish?

    I am a huge NASCAR fan so, since D* has Speed HD as well as Hot Pass, the only reason I haven't switched already is the fact that I own my 622 and love it and the ability to store on the external drive. Also my local NBC station is not in HD, some kind of dispute between them and E* I am...

    Time Change Glitches

    I set "Patton" (George C. Scott) to record in HD last night. Only recorded the last half. Not on again, at least in the next couple of weeks. Darn, one of my favorite movies!

    How many Dropped E*

    Standing by for a while but definitely would switch to D* in a heartbeat if they picked up VOOM and will anyway if Speed HD doesn't come along pretty soon.

    Revised Poll: Voom is gone - What Now?

    Wherever VOOM ends up...I am so there. Dish may not miss my $140/month but if D* acquires VOOM...adios!

    How To Run Off a Customer

    1. Mail your existing TWC cable customer an offer to give a $20 per month discount on his cable bill for one full year if he switches his phone service to your digital phone service. (With a $240 savings over a year, of course he jumps on the deal and switches not only his phone from AT&T but...

    Starz HD and Cinemax HD on TWC

    Thanks Sean. Couldn't be happier with the HD menu and picture quality on San Antonio TWC. The only thing they are missing is the local FOX channel in HD and I'm not sure why. Apparently there is some kind of feud going on between TWC and FOX in SA, not sure what it is about but wish they...

    Starz HD and Cinemax HD on TWC

    If this has already been discussed, please forgive me, I have been out of this forum for a few weeks. But this morning, in San Antonio TX, I was running down the channel lineup and found that TWC has now added Starz and Cinemax HD to its lineup of HD channels making a total of 18 HD channels in...

    VOOM Schedule????

    I am trying to find an online schedule with the daily program guide for the VOOM channels including the new ones available only to those with a 622. I want to know what I will be able to watch if I am going to spend the money and upgrade to get the other 5 new channels. I went to the VOOM...

    Rear projections will definitely get burn in with the black bars. Been there, done that.

    How many people have been denied the HD upgrade? Were you given a reason?

    The first CSR told me, and this is an exact quote after putting me on hold for 5 minutes, "We are not currently offering the VOOM package." I replied, "That's interesting, I am watching it right now." To which she replied, "I'm sorry, sir, we don't currently offer the VOOM package." So I...

    NEW DishHD web site found! (And now it's gone)

    Link doesn't work for me. Guess they already took it down??

    Another VOOMless Day

    Ditto that. Haven't watched VOOM in at least a week. I can only take a Cydi Lauper concert 50 times and that is my limit. Very disappointed but will hang on for a while to see what happens.

    HD VOOM ers

    $5 a month my a**. Try $5 a month for the VOOM package, PLUS $5 a month for something called "DVR service fee", PLUS $10 a month for the HD package, PLUS another $5 a month if you don't have a phone line attached.

    Dish Deceives and Misleads

    I will give it a try but they told me I HAD to have the HD package to get the VOOM. Thanks for the advice, we'll give it a shot.

    Dish Deceives and Misleads

    Timm...my point is that I specifically asked the CSR "Is that the TOTAL cost for the package, $14.95" and he said "Yes." Don't you think he SHOULD have mentioned the extra $10/mo.??? Whatever, I have calmed down and will pay the stupid ten bucks because I want my VOOM!!!!

    Dish Deceives and Misleads

    I bought a 942 and subscribed to Dish for one reason only....the VOOM channels. When I called to subscribe, I was told by the CSR that I would have to have the HD package ($9.95) in order to get the VOOM channels ($5.00), even though I already get all of their HD offerings (plus more) on TWC...
