    Question for those who have 2 satellite services running

    I'm not too savey about all that coordinate stuff (61.5....110) But my DTV dish points UP. As in "at the sky". My Voom dish points over yonder. As in "at the horizon". Luckily the trees were all north, south, and west, cuz Voom is hard east from here in coastal Texas.

    Voom, CVC, FCC, and Installs, Inc. - What Now And Why?

    Love Voom. Hopelessly addicted to Rave and Equator. But the install is where I have my only real gripe. The installer was nice enough and seemed to know what he needed to know about the equipment. However, he was a terrible carpenter/drywall guy. I have FOUR false wall plates mounted...

    Groundhog Day x 10 x 24

    I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Laugh, because it breaks the rules of being a stiff and (too) serious corporation that would never risk being irreverent. Cry, because not being stiff/serious but willing to be very risky is why VOOM is so vulnerable. Regardless, I love Voom more...

    Receivers still locking up

    Yea, you ARE lucky. First, for not suffering the torment of constantly rebooting and acquiring the program guide. But mostly for being surrounded by Paradigm speakers! :)

    Receivers still locking up

    Can't be the phone line for me. I haven't and won't hook it up. And sorry about squelching your hope that the 7.34 would be a solution. It isn't. Think about it, you were 7.33 (so was I) and everything was fine for days! Suddenly, starting on the same day, we both start having the same issues...

    Receivers still locking up

    MichaelG, Your experience is almost identical to mine. 2 Recievers installed on 1/19/05. Worked flawlessly for first few days. I even wondered about the ocassional "buggy hardware" comments I saw here on the forum. Then suddenly, a few days ago (about Thursday as you stated) the reciever...

    New Software Version 7.34

    I think I would have been better off WITHOUT the upgrade. I have to soft-boot every few hours now to get the remote to work. (Both stb's with the update) I never had any issues with either box before the update. The soft-boot isn't a pain really, but the loss of the program guide sure is...

    disconnect on voom website

    I showed a pending disconnect in their system and was billed for early termination on my first bill. It turned out to be the result of ordering Voom for a 3 room install but changing it to 2 rooms when the installer arrived. (decided to only installed it in HD rooms) A call to CS fixed...

    Will Superbowl Sunday be affected by all the Voom debacle?

    Hey Iceberg, You ain't ugly dude. Come to Texas, put a cowboy hat on, and learn to 2-step. The cowgirls would be waiting in line. Heck, I'll buy the longnecks! Maybe FOX will do a good job this time around with the Superbowl. (on topic insurance :) )

    New Software Version 7.34

    My install was on 1/19. Went smooth enouph. (except installer covered his butchery of my wall with "FOUR" (I SAID 4!) cover plates. Anyway, I got the update on the bedroom stb 3 days ago. The living room stb was unplugged and had no power going to it. (I was unaware) It had not recieved the...

    My Confession Voom

    Are you for real? Vooms picture quality is why they lost subscribers? Yea, the very FIRST thing I thought 7 days ago when I first saw RAVE and cranked up Dave Mathews to DD5.1 was "This sucks and I regret having this in my bedroom" Come on. I admit to being a newbie Voomer and probably...

    Tried to upgrade to vavavoom at the 79.95 rate...no luck. Anyone else??

    Please tell me that 10.00 or 20.00 or 50.00 a month will mean I can keep VOOM!!! Don't know if I'm addicted to anything, but I feel reeeeeeeel stupid for not getting VOOM sooner.

    Home Theater Mag 1/25/05

    I'm with you Cfrank10, Just last night I went to see my son play basketball. I used my D* DVR to record 24. Had I been at home, I would have watched it on the VOOM box. But most are not willing to have 2 services/dishes etc. I simply look at my HDTV's as being monitors capable of showing...

    When will VOOM's DVR finally hit the streets?

    Kelljc, I'll have to differ with you on this one. Though I love how a good Progressive scan DVD/HDTV combo looks when setup correctly, it still doesn't look as good as 1080i when you get a good feed from good source material. But I could live with either. I just don't want to lose any...

    Unofficially: More News Coming this week

    Kelljc is right! Been lurking here for about 7 days. I found this sight 1 day AFTER I had VaVaVoom installed. 2 rooms 2 bucks. Amazing that I am on my third generation of HDTV's and just now got a good source for content. (I spent way too much money in the past when HD was very new years ago)...
