    Pole mount 1000.2 with trench questions

    I have dish, my dad has cable and when he comes over he gets jealous due to all the high def. So he pulled the trigger and ordered. The installer arrived and said trees were in the way (which they were from the house). He said it would be "cost prohibitative" to pole mount a dish 30 feet to...

    942 and Dolby Digital

    First of all, I think the 942 rocks. However, I'm seeing some real strange stuff with the tuners and Dolby Digital. Tonight I was recording some stuff. Both were in DD. But only one of them was recorded in DD and then when both were done I could not get the receiver to send DD no matter...

    HDPak, what sat do the HD channels come from

    I'm an ex-voomer and getting installed tomorrow. They said I'll have two dishes. If I'm getting America's Everything, the HD Pak, the Voom channels, and my locals come from 119. I'm assuming I'll need a dish that receives 110 and 119 and a dish to get 61.5. Does the HD pak come from...

    942 TV2 options

    If you do not already have coax ran to your TV2 location, you might think about using a 2.4ghz AV transmitter/receiver pair. I've used this setup at my house for about 3 years to get my second receiver's output upstairs to our bedroom. That way I can use the receiver in my den (where it's...

    $100 charge for second dish and locals

    Should Dish charge you for the second dish to receive Voom if you have one or more local channels on 61.5 and you are getting the locals?

    Dish and Voom questions

    I'll have one Dish 942 receiver and that's it. I get my digital locals off-air on my own antenna in the attic. I want to receive all HD (including the Voom channels). There are orbital locations 110, 119, and 105. It looks like locals and some HD comes from 105. 1. Do I need the...

    I could refer two people now BUT!

    It would make it easier if Voom had some additional packages. Voom Voom + HBO & Cinemax Voom + Showtime & Starz Va Va Voom Both my friends are on DirecTV and have HD ready TVs but just get HBO and Cinemax and pay $67 a month. They won't jump cause of the price point of Va Va Voom.

    The PQ is back, the love is back

    Tonight Voom had the best PQ I've seen since after the encoders were switched out. I watched almost every HD channel and the colors were stunning, the picture was deep, and I saw very little motion artifacts. Ahhhhhhhhhhh

    PQ is very thin now

    Meaning there are lots of skeeters on all HD channels and it's much fuzzier than before. Lots of motion artifacts. Voom, I hope this is temporary...

    HDNet and Voom

    Was it a cost reason why Voom doesn't broadcast HDNet. One of my friends was telling me about this show and I can't watch it. ;) http://www.hd.net/op_bikinidest.html

    900,000 subscriptions

    It appears if you do the math (and this is conservative) it will take 900,000 subs for Voom to break even. Does anyone ever think they will reach the 1,000,000 mark and if so, when?

    Guide questions

    How do you search the guide and move forward in time in the guide by like 6 or 12 hours? I have found no way to search the guide or move forward by more than an hour at a time. I would like to look a few days in the future and see what's on. Thanks

    Pacers game on TNT and PQ

    Not sure if it's cause of the new encoders or maybe this was the way TNT always was but you get a lot of splotching during heavy movement. Awesome picture though when it's mostly still. Probably the best picture I've ever seen.

    Anyone else having tuning problems

    This even when I change channels, sometimes I get a blank black screen with no sound. I have to change back to the previous channel and then back and sometimes the channel will then display with sound. Anyone?

    Spots and lines in picture

    I'm new to Voom but let me explain something I've seen 4 times so far in the past 2 days. I get a bright spot or a smart black vertical line in the picture that will NOT go away. I change channels and it's still there in the exact same spot. The only thing that makes it go away is turning...
