    Are the VOOM 21 Channels coming to DirecTV?

    After seven years with Dish I basically had stopped watching TV. Then I got Voom and went "WOW!" I started watching again, pretty much the Voom HD Exclusives only. Voom went down, now I just watch DVDs and basic cable, but am starting to explore the possibilities of jumping back to sat after...

    Never Going Back to Dish

    Since hearing that 10 of the Voom 21 HD channels are moving to Dish, I called Dish today to swith back. Had forgotten how bad they were: after half an hour wait, I got a rep who had no idea what Voom or Voom channels were. He transferred me to another department, but since nobody picked up...

    My Dish Experience (BAD)

    Called Dish today. Had forgotten how bad they were: after half an hour wait, I got a rep who had no idea what Voom or Voom channels were. He transferred me to another department, but since nobody picked up, after 20 minutes I gave up. Called back later. Less wait, but the woman who answered...

    Windows Media Center and Voom Local Listings?

    Does anyone have a solution for the lack of local listings in the MCE guide? It seems like it would be an easy thing to fix, but nobody has done it. It is a deal-breaker for some in the HTPC community though, who would otherwise be Voom subscribers.

    Help Voom help us. If your TV has a problem connecting through DVI to the Voom STB, let Voom know in this thread. Please list your TV make and model number, and briefly describe the DVI problem (e.g. color inversion when changing channels).

    Picture Position Shifts Up

    It seems that the picture of the Voom HD channels is pushed up when using DVI. When watching OTA HD, the picture position is perfect, but when watching Voom channels the picture shifts upward in varying degrees: on some channels just a bit, on some a lot. Plus there is a small rainbow square in...

    DISH Network Going Out of Business.

    Yes, and DirecTV will follow. They are not expanding their customer base as rapidly anymore and this spells trouble for the two companies. According to my analysis, they may go out of business as early as next year, but definitely by the year 2593. Since I deem myself very knowledgeable about...

    Non-linear Stretch Option For 4x3 material?

    I am fairly sure there is no such option, but it seems like a grave omission: Many Voom customers have HD displays (which are 16x9), but still watch some SD programming, which is 4x3. The two options I see available either create short fat people (when image is stretched), or crop the top and...

    Don't Give Up! Stay with VOOM!

    Stay with VOOM! If you don't have it, get your new installation! It is really stupid to jump ship now. You have nothing to loose if you stay, or if you go through with a planned installation. You can only gain the enjoyment of Voom's superior programming and picture quality. If the worst...
