I can't help with your install questions, but let me say I just moved from Dish after 7 years thinking mistakenly that: 1. Dish was cheaper (moving saved me $10 a month long-term and at least $400 in new customer promotions the first year) 2. Dish had better dvr hardware and software (2x...

Isn't the content encrypted so it can't be played of anything but an authorized receiver? I think the suggestion of a low-end turbo HD package would be appealing if all I wanted is to reduce my bill (and still get a pretty good package of channels).

SOON sorry lame joke. A beta was going on last year, but then DISH purchased SLING and my guess is that they shelved development on that and are now going to use sling to provide it. This is a good think as the dishnetworkonline website was really really poorly coded.

I love the current remotes and guide format. If it turns into the crap I had to suffer through at my in-laws over the holiday (ala comcastic dvr) that would be a huge leap backwards.

Thanks to both of you that was exactly what I needed on the wiring and the noise :) Going to order the cables and give it a shot!

Hey guys hope I can get some advice on this potential change, I'm contemplating a change in the routing of my 2nd 722. Currently the 722 is upstairs in the office with 2 RG6 cables delivering the signal from 2 500 sats. I then have the tv2 backfeed out from the office and into the "main"...

It should be noted that the hostility engendered at the OP was a direct result of a thread title that itself contained needless criticism. Dish has an excellent remote that is in fact considered by many to be the "best" bundled remote. Your expectations of a remote from a dbs provider that is...

Agreed that my apartment in 2002 said they did not allow dishes. I showed them the law from the post above and had it installed on my balcony the next day. If you are able to get LOS from your apartment you will be in good shape to move with your service.

Huge hockey fan, but even I can see that moving to Versus was a detriment to the game. Hockey is on the cusp of becoming irrelevant as a national sport and a "big 4" by sliding into the "futbol/soccer" and "tennis" tier of cable only (except playoffs & majors). If you listen to those that...

Shiner !

Wow never heard of that. Agree that water fuel is bogus.. You guys invest in that stuff and I'll be right behind you to short it :P

Thought this was interesting from someone putting billions of their own dollars on the line: Will the Oil Bubble Burst? - TIME Will the Oil Bubble Burst? - TIME

Its not that simple. VOOM was consuming resources that I would rather be put to use elsewhere. I am OVERJOYED VOOM is pulled because it allows us to move on to the next idea in HD.

The RIGHT time is hard to say, but my guess is it would have been about 5 years ago. Best strategy is to buy a broad diversified portfolio and try to limit your expenses. Overloading or guessing on this stock or that is just gambling and I prefer to do that in Vegas when you know exactly how...

I'm glad.. haven't missed ANYTHING and have watched a great deal of programming in the AT250 vs AT200 that I wouldn't have seen by spending that $10 on VOOM. VERY HAPPY DISH PULLED IT!

hmm... moral indignation is yummy in the morning!

Lots of speculation here, but fact is no one will ever "KNOW" who was at fault, the legal system will however assess if Voom was harmed and award damages or not based on its findings. Voom is gone, dead and buried on DISH, this is now an "investor" play to recapture some $$. Those of us that...

confirmed HD feed is dead

purpose?

Not interested but wish you guys well! bump...

Lol dropped down yesterday to the essentials...

I just did this.

Just dropped to HD Essential. Wife liked a few of the VOOM channels (though I never saw her watch a single one). With the recycled content they didn't offer much more than the concept of HD. Personally I'm glad to see them go so I can save $10 a month.

Not sure if it is fair or not but I stopped watching VOOMS last year when everything was a repeat of what I had watched the two years prior. It does me no good to watch something in HD if I've seen it three times already. Wife will miss a show here or there, but the measure of this move is...

You sound like the guys who say "It didn't work for me. There must be a systemic problem". Either way we don't have any stats that I know of that are credible for determining the error rate of the combo disks so it is of little use for both of you to be arguing over this. Fact is BD isn't...
