Mine started doing the same rebooting thing about a month ago. Only once a week or so, but then last Thursday it started happening over and over non-stop. Now I can't get it to do anything when I turn it on other than it searches for satellites then reboots. Waiting for my replacement now. I...

I am brand new to Dish HD. We had VOOM and then lived with the OTA local HD channels for the last few years. I just got Dish hooked up this morning (VIP622 with a 1000+) and I noticed that the local HD channels look really soft. I compared the local HD OTA with the local HD via the dish, and...

Quick update: I cancelled my "Sam's Club" order and went to a local dealer (Sam's Satellite) who will be installing my system tomorrow morning! The customer service at Dish's cancellation center was really great. They apologized over and over for the delays and inconvenience. It restored my...

Hi Guys, It has been years since we had any type of satellite provider. We started with DirecTV in the late 90's when they frist got their HD setup (installed within 2 days of purchase), then jumped on the VOOM bandwagon (installed the next day). Since VOOM went under, we have been living off...

We have decided to just let it all go black. When my wife and I started our own business in 1991, we stopped watching TV altogether for about 6 years. Had no time for it. Honestly, I didn't miss Friends, or any of the other shows that were popular at the time. When we did pick up a new provider...

Althought it might be totally different technology, my RCA DTC-100 still works great as an OTA HD receiver. I got it WAY back when D* first offered their HD package. So far back that they didn't charge anything for the 'package' (since it only had like 2 channels)! Anyways, it still works AND I...

just great. Now I'm going to have to go outside... :eek: But not until May! :D

WOW. Drama, drama, drama. This forum is great, but sometimes Ignorance is truly bliss. Just think of all those VOOMers who are just sitting at home watching HDTV (unaware of this news). They are enjoying their service without all the stress of thinking it will be gone any second. Like it has...

Wait a minute...what ever happened to that "meeting with all the installers"? I thought we were all getting new dishes, now this? Did we ever find out what happened at this top secret, yet manditory, meeting?

Doug, are you sure you are in the Sacramento area? There's no animal in your avatar... :D Glad to hear the 24" dish makes a big difference for ya. I am eagerly awaiting mine! Also thanks for clearing up the whole 10.1 issue. Strange that we suddenly started getting the Salinas station on our...

My guide shows channel 10 having much of the same programming as channel 3! Totally different networks. I was able to get channel 10 earlier tonight to watch LOST, but I have noticed that it will be unavailable quite often. I noticed the program guide was messed up a few days ago, but just...

Right now... Currently going over the preparations for the Playboy halloween party...

HAHAHAHAHAHA... I'm still laughing at the term, "Thread-fart"!! :D :D :D

Is that the one where the mantis catches and eats the humming bird? WOW, watching THAT in high def really freaked my wife and mom out. I saw it a while back when we first got our HD set up. I was just showing them both the killer picture quality and then, BOOM, we got hit with that scene. They...

I had this issue a while back. Try doing a hard reset of your box. (turn off, unplug, wait a few minutes, then plug in again). I am not exactly sure what solved it for me, but it is fine now. oh, of course if you noticed it only on FU, that's ok. ;)

Well. I watched a show on Equator. It basically had two parts, the first was underwater, then the second was in Guyana or something. Sorry not to be more accurate here... but: The first part of the show (underwater) was absolutely breathtaking! No skeeters, breakups, or color banding. Lots of...

I would bet it will be RG6. I can't imagine requiring folks to run CAT5e from one TV to the next (or do 'home runs' to each room), just to use their DVR. Personally...I would prefer the CAT5e or even CAT6 since I already have 95 runs of it in my house (don't ask). But let's be realistic, it will...

This film ROCKS! I love Toshiro Mifune, and this is one of his and Kurosawa's classics. I hear that it was one of the films that inspired George Lucas to do Star Wars. Not sure exactly how it relates though. Maybe the two peasants are like the two droids? Not sure... Great movie though...

Vicki, I am scheduled to get my 24" dish on Monday between 12 and 5pm. If the guy shows, and I am sure he will since he has called and emailed me already, I can give you his contact info. Perhaps he can do your install too? Not sure how all this works behind the scenes, but this guy seems...

Excellent! We could use another classical music channel... ;)

Never mentioned D* or E*. But since you bring them up, don't you agree that they have more content than V*? I am talking about content, not just HD content... If you really want to start comparing HD content, try adding up how much proprietary content we have on VOOM. (Content that none of the...

Just a thought. Perhaps they are waiting to get more HD content before releasing the DVR. Think about it for a moment. Most of the programs on the Cinema 10 channels repeat over and over. Once we have our DVRs, they will only need to show a movie a few times a month and we will all have a chance...

When is your re-install again? I had a guy from American Satellite no show me three times, so I called VOOM and complained. They sent out another guy who called a few days before my appointment, confirmed everything, then worked around my crazy schedule to make things work. Real nice guy too...

Quite a few friends are waiting for NOGGIN to make the jump...

I'm still curious about what channels he would have liked to have (other than his OTA). I switched from DirecTV and although I now have fewer number of channels, I like what I have now much better. But I know everyoe is different, so I was just curious. I bet VOOM would love to know this info...
