    Hopper 3Woes

    So now that I have upgraded from the Hopper1 to 3--- the external Hard drive is limited to a 2T desktop in a time when portable hard drives are at least 2T and the desktop start at 4T? The new remote is less intuitive and adaptive than the original? Now if your volume is not on your TV you have...

    OTA Option?

    The Hopper was rumored to get OTA option by this summer? Well been and gone so anyone know the word? Sorry if this has been recently covered. Admittedly I haven't been as attentive to the sight as usual. But wondering if this update is as illusive as the iPhone5? Thanks in advance to all that...

    Being Logged Off

    I stay logged on and always check "remember me" box but more often lately on the three machines I use for the net I find I've been logged off and have to reenter both username and password again. I use safari in several variations but all either current or a only one update behind. Anyone...

    Team Summit a Joke?

    Big HD roll out 22 forward 15 back! No real public statement about Eastern Arc. Actions betray any commitment to growth or interest in consumer's demand for HD. Plus the other questionable business practices etc by Echostar/Dish in the last year. What will the real draw be to Team...

    Sirius Problems

    So it seems Sirius can't kill enough good channels fast enough to create narrow focused personality/group channels. Channels are miss labeled for months like Jazz Cafe now Sirius Disorder. Now I get billed a month early for an annual subscription, the web site reset info on my account web...

    Reasonable Compromise to Save Face

    If there is a supply issue to cause a limit of one mpg4 box per house per year. If it's true the new HD will still really be in mpeg2. It seems only reasonable Dish must step back and re-think their transition strategy and: 1. Allow current HD/Voom subs, paying the new fees, to see ALL the...

    Next Voom Migration

    I'm in L.A. When we V21 subs moved from Voom DBS to Voom/Dish, I kept my Voom supplied OTA, got the Dish500 for 110&119 and reused my old Voom dish for the E* 61.5 to 811 and a 942. Paid all the standard fees and installation costs but was able to get my local guy to drop the second dish...

    Safari Question

    I use safari on the two macs I. On my desk top I'm a registered user and on the old Voom now HD page I notice some issues. Under latest HD threads nothing is there. However on my laptop when I view as a guest the convenient list is all there. Why? Thanks.

    Back to Vooming Questions

    Just got my Voom back Tuesday. HDNews- are the old anchors gone- Erica, Logan etc.? Now they promo the V-10 stations with their Dish channel numbers. HDNews-castors say,"This is HDN on Dish." Has anyone heard if they're just going to become a Dish exclusive? Really miss Family Room...

    Zap-it Guide Gone

    Well it's final. I've been using my Voom zap-it guide to get my ota info. There was some comfort in scanning the old guide to see what I was missing. All the info was upto date. But tonight the Voom web site changed and so did the zap-it guide. All but my local info has gone away...

    Wiring ??

    I'm reworking my RG6 lines over the next few days and need some advice. I'm preparing for a Dish install: Superdish, 61.5 dish and OTA all going to an 811 and 942. Currently there is a drop of two of RG6 and two CAT 5 behind each wall. Everything is a home-run to one junction spot which...

    Voomer asks OTA tvGuide questions.

    I come from the Voom box. Seemless incorporation of OTA locals because of course we had no LIL. Some clarification please. So with Dish, when not subscribing to my local package, specifically on 811 and 942, can I still view my OTA local's info on the guides? Will both receivers...

    Dish: Direct vs Retailer

    With all the horror stories of Dish CSRs etc. Now that I have had my bad experiences with Dish and with my addiction to Voom programming, I'm back at ground zero in regards to Dish. I guess I'm just working my way along the learning curve. So for new people, what are the pros and cons...

    OTA and Starchoice Moto Box?

    I had Voom moto box. Will any of the SC boxes intergrate the OTA the same way? I called Kusat and they said no. Do Canadians not use antennas? I'm looking for the knowledgable second opinion here. Thanks

    One Unhappy Camper

    I'm in LA With all the problems with WOW number and CSRs, I got a local Dish retailer who could give me the Voom#1 deal: 2 811s, A180@19.99 for 3 mo, free HD pak for 6 mo and free install reusing my Voom dish adding Superdish. Did the job this morning. The tech verified my order and...

    VoomHD+free install=$100?!?!?!

    Voom DBS was a great concept, a quality, value based, HD focused, DBS with its own ground breaking original programming. But business wise??????... What part of free installation equates to $100 for an extra antenna. Rainbow in an agreement with Dishnetwork advertises on Voom.com that Dish...

    Different Answer Everytime

    I made three separate calls with three different results. Each had their own math about which extras, box fees, HD paks fee etc with different outcomes. None had a straight forward answer that matched the Voom screen. I think I need to shower to get the slime off. WOW is right. I gotta...
