Echostar will keep record or you being a customer for years. Use your spouses name to get new customer pricing/promos. I was a Dish customer 6 years ago, left because of PQ problems. When I went back when VoOm died, they wanted me to commit to 2 years and pay $1000 for the 942. I told them to...

I just upgraded my 688 to an 880, (giving the 688 to a friend). I think prefer the 880 button layout better, but both rock. I did customize both 688 and 880 a bit to get all the DVR buttons and such to work the way I wanted, but it definitely works very well. FYI, Check eBay, you can get the...

The 942 is nice. I have 2 Tivo's I upgraded to 340 hour each. They will be both going on ebay soon. I will miss the capacity, but I just don't need them anymore. I am just going to get another 942.

The second TV is SD only and doesn't support component or DVI cables. I still get the HD content on the SD feed, it's just downrez'd.

It is my understanding that you cannot get E* with your old VoOm equipment, Dish or STB. The dish could actually be used if you modified the mount to support a different LNB, but otherwise its all different shiznit.

You checked the batteries of course....... ;)

But I like the short skirt on this one ;)

Well, its news for some that they can get a 942 sooner than they thought. (myself, so I am slow) AND the latest developement in the VoOm saga has been the ability to not only continue to view some of the channels, but also record them via a DVR. Sooooo... :p Thanks to everyone else for the...

Anyone else having a problem getting a 942? I have been waiting 2 weeks. I am using a private installer and was third on his list, now at the top, but still. He says the 942's are few and far between. I did notice that Fry's had one on the shelf for $700 and I see them on eBay. Whats up with that?

Can't happen then. Ok, thanks for the feedback everyone. I will pass this on.

Ok, I just heard a rumor from a private installer. He just called me and asked me to do some research on a it. (He thinks I am in the know because I have passed on so much info from the SatGuys forums to him) The rumor he heard is that someone/people/aliens can get an E* signal via there VoOm...

I am having an install done by a private installer, same guy that did my original VoOm install. He has informed me that although I am on the top of his list for installs, I have been waiting over a week because he is waiting on a 942 for me. He says they are in short supply right now.

Please post your opinion of comcast's PQ, and what kind of HDTV you are watching on. I tried Comcast for 15 minutes on my Elite Plasma and told the guy thanks but no thanks. The HD was no better, maybe worse than the SD from my other provider... truly. That was about 6 months ago in Northern...

Anyone notice the new message on the VoOm Guide, no more VoOm DoOm message... New message about Dish carrying 10 "with plans to carry all 21" Kewl :)

Good news, definitely good news, not the news I wanted, but good.

:::mutters about people missing the point::: The topic implies that VoOm as a SERVICE would continue beyond May 1st, at least thats how I took it. I have no doubts that the some of the VoOm content will go elsewhere.

What does continued work on the programing for possible sale to some other carrier to offer as content have to do with VoOm not shutting down? Dont get me wrong, I will be the first to cheer if we get a reprieve, but the question is valid I think.

LOL, I have learned not to call the o'lady the o'lady to her face is all.... One of my fav's is "Wench", but now that one can really get a reaction, even though it is not necessarily a demeaning term, my wife hates it. She loves VoOm though and is very sad about the shutdown, (gotta throw...

Gee, looking for "broads" in an online forum, bet you are a real ladies man :p JK, had to say it tho ;)

I have carried Surewest for a few years now, so I still have a SD alternative. Maybe I will have to take a look at someones Comcast HD and see how it looks. I have a Pioneer Elite 50" plasma, recently ISF calibrated, and it really looked more like Voom SD than a HD signal. Could have been a bad...

deeann, I am also in NorCal/Sac area and still had picture this AM. Have you decided on a new provider? Comcast, E* or D*? I had E* awhile back and the PQ was really bad, but that may have changed as it was a few years ago. I also tried Comcast recently and could not believe they even called...

Why do you say that. I have fiber thru Surewest rated at 10meg up/down and I get 10/10 just as its rated. I have tested it at dslreports numerous times over the last year and a half I have had it. Fiber is the shiznit man. The only down side is most servers can't send me data as fast as I can...

I am hoping for some of them twists and turns. I am not sure were to go from VoOm. I wonder how many HD channels I can get over Ka/C band? Damn.. but no Tivo on those :( Oh well, I am recording as much VoOm content as I can then. Save it for later. Hehe.. I have even loaded some GuyTV...

Just spoke to a CSR also, he stated that they received a memo today, the 8th, at 9am that stated they will actually be shutting down at the end of April and that no new orders are allowed. I tried to upgrade to Va Va and was told that they could not even do that at this point. He didnt say...

Many are awaiting info on the DVR. I decided to do some playing around with other options. I built a PC/DVR and also purchased a Toshiba DVD-Recorder/Tivo. Both work nicely with VoOm and record very well. Both just downvert the HD content. I understand that Sony is coming out with 2 HD-DVR's...
