    I want a HD DVR!

    Hey. I currently have a mess of Satellite equipment. I have voom and a Directivo on my main TV, and Directivo in my bedroom. I want to get my upstairs bedroom a DVR (522, because I want NBR). And in my main room a HD DVR. Is there any kind of lease offer on the 921 now? Or should I wait...

    Dish Phone line question

    I understand there will be a $5 charge for not having a line connexted to the STB's. I am planning on getting 2x522's and a 811, eventually upgrading to a 921. Will I still be able to get siftware upgrades and everything without a phone line? jacob

    Voom won't upgrade antenna

    I have the retarded standard issue sensar. It isn't in the same direction, it is due south, the stations i receive currently are due east. It is probably going to require a larger UHF band antenna.

    Voom HD may be a prgramming only service.

    Everyone tends to over elaborate on what they think will happen. I have my money on Voom being a content only provider in a year.

    Voom HD may be a prgramming only service.

    If you look at what theyre buying its the framework for producing and distributing HD content to other sat providers. This will fill a gap, since not many networks are providing content for satellite services to serve. Though it goes against what I hope, this is probably what is on their mind...

    Voom HD may be a prgramming only service.

    Voom may be seperating, and creating a Voom HD sellable product to other sat providers, like DTV E*. In other words, the same voom original programming, except pushing it as a seperate product like HBO, on another provider. Dolan created HBO, this is right up his alley.

    Thinking of getting voom......need help

    Voom is great so far. I haven't unsubbed from DTV, and i dont plan to yet. The HD is great, the SD looks like crap (on my 55" TV). When you install make sure to get it in every room, if you change your mind to add another receiver, like i did later, it costs another $50. and you DO NOT need...

    I agree this is probably just a sign on Mpeg4. Not overly exciting. I imagine mpeg4 is not as high of quality as mpeg2, just more bandwidth. Don't everyone jump at once. I am sick of hearing people at dbstalk speculate about directv Mpeg4. There is a guy over there claiming he has the...
