    720p is unwatchable on my 6000 STB

    I recently picked up a 6000 HD receiver and subscribed to just the HD/Voom package. Overall, I'm happy with it except that most of the channels look horrible over 720p with my receiver. 1080i is much better. The problem, though is that my projector (Optoma H31) puts out a much sharper picture...

    Using Voom dish with a 921 DVR

    I know you can use the Voom dish (it has a legacy lnb pointed at 61.5) with some of the HD receivers (6000 and 811) as long as you have an SW21 switch and another legacy lnb dish pointed at 110. What would different about the setup if I purchased a 921? What switch would I need to use 2...

    What's the cheapest way to get HD-only from Dish?

    I'm interested in getting Dish installed, but don't really care to make another commitment since I also have Directv. I'd like to just get the HD channels from Dish. I'm under the impression that in order to get free installation and equipment that you have to commit to a year or two of a...

    Question re: added receivers (installation)

    I'm getting 2 more receivers tomorrow. I've ran all the wiring and been using my current box at 2 different locations. Here's my install question. My Voom dish is in my back yard on a pole. One RG6 cable goes from the dish to my guest house. No problem there. That's the way I originally had...

    How much $ to add more receivers?

    I got in on the $1 installation deal back in December. I just had one receiver installed. How much would Voom charge me if I wanted to add a couple more? My house is already wired for sat so theoretically Voom could just mail me the new receivers, although I don't know if they'd go for that...

    Can you have 2 dishes with Voom?

    This may sound crazy, but could you have 3 Voom receivers and use 2 different dishes? I currently have Voom in my guest house which I turned into a movie theater with a projector, etc. The Voom dish is mounted on a pole in my yard which is about 25' from my house. I have DirecTV in the...

    Thinking of installing an XG91 Antenna

    Currently I have the small Winegard "bowtie" antenna supplied by Voom and I'm only getting my local ABC and PBS. On rare occasion Fox and CBS will come in, but it's far from reliable (usually only at night and if the weather is perfect and all the planets are aligned, etc.). A friend of mine...

    720p vs. 1080i

    I was wondering which setting you all like better, 720p or 1080i. On my projector, which is just a 480p DLP, it turns out that 720p actually looks quite a bit better. For some reason, even the black level and color looks better at 720p. I also get less stairstepping on the edge of objects. My...

    Dark Star on MonstersHD 2/16 05:30 E

    Wow! Has Dark Star ever been shown on MonstersHD before? I was checking the listings and it's showing tomorrow (Thursday 2/16) morning at 6:30 C. I'm actually going to set my alarm to get up and watch it. I've been a big fan of this film, and have the DVD. I'm wondering how much better the HD...
