    VOOM Installations

    Too many Trees! I had to cancel my Install due to too many tall, dense trees surrounding my home. Installs Inc felt it would not be feasible. I appreciate the installer explaining the situation in detail. This would have been my first satellite experience, so I was not familiar with the...

    Quitting E* ?

    If HD Programming is top on your list, VOOM beats both the Dish, Directtv and cable. I'm getting it installed on Wedneday. Check out their website!

    DVI-I or DVI-D?

    Sean, I have a DVI-D to HDMI adapter cable and a Y Pb Pr cable. My TV has both HDMI and Y Pb Pr inputs, so hopefully one of them will work well with the Voom receiver. My install is on again for Wednesday. I'm hoping for clear skies!

    Programming package question?

    As far as Plus packs: Is it true that only those that subscribe by Jan 31st will get 1 plus pack free? for 39.99 a month?

    Programming package question?

    Joe, BE warned, I'm in the same boat. Tivo (at this time) offers NO Voom support for its Program Guide! I am getting Voom on Wednesday and will try setting it up using DirectTV or the Dish's program guide. This method you should be able to program using TIME/Channel record for recording...

    How do Local channel numbers appear on Voom Receiver?

    I am curious as to how local channel numbers appear on Voom receiver, by station number or by 3 digit number. Also do HD local broadcasts have a separate channel number than the same channel broadcasting a SD program? For example, I'm in Atlanta- ABC is channel 2, FOX is channel 5, UPN is 10...

    VOOM Adds more HDTV (in January) Channels and new equipment

    Tivo, after annoucing the Stand Alone HD Tivo in their Press conference in January 2003, stunned everyone by totally omitting any mention of it at all in their Press Confernece today. Over at the Tivo Community Forum, their are several miffed Tivo users asking "what happened" to the SA HD Tivo...

    VOOM Installations

    Update, A very nice lady from Installs Inc called me at 4:45 pm to inquire if my installation had either been completed or if I had at least heard from the Installer during the course of the day. I told her that I had not heard from anyone all today. She offered to reschedule yet...

    VOOM Installations

    My Voom Installation Never happened! My Voom Installation NEVER happened! I had set up my Voom Install for Wednesday, Jan 7th about 2 weeks ago. I scheduled that day off from work. The scheduled time window was supposed to be between 8a-12n. I also scheduled myself off from work today...

    Voom PVR Irony

    Sean, After much surfing on the Web, The Phillips DVD-R80 seems to be the only DVD recorder on the market that has Y Pb Pr (Component) Inputs. All the rest I came across have the single yellow (compostite) or S-Video Input. The DVDR80 records using the DVD+R/DVD+RW media which I prefer...

    Voom PVR Irony

    Sean, Please forgive my repetitive questions concerning Pvr's and Dvd recorders, but I am trying to get as much understanding on this subject as possible before my Voom Installation on Wednesday. I expect Voom will make a announcement concerning their own PVR about the time that...

    Voom PVR Irony

    I agree about needing a Voom PVR asap!. I am hoping that Tivo announces some type of Voom support soon so I can cancel my Comcast Cable. In the DVD Recorder Topic I was intrigued that another Poster is recording Voom thru Replaytv (If I understood correctly). Thanks, Harry

    Voom PVR Irony

    I find it ironic that both DirectTV and The Dish will have PVR recording before Voom and neither one on them has more than a handful of HD Channels. I can't imagine shelling out $1000 bucks for a 921DVR and have so little to record on it. Ditto for DirectTv and their upcoming HD Tivo. Am I...

    DVD Recorders to use with VOOM?

    Phillips has 3 models DVD-R75, DVD-R80 and DVD R985 which have i-link and Video component Y, Pb Pr inputs. I wonder if the Component Video inputs will record all of Voom's HD channels in 480P? (until and if the Voom STB activates the i-link digital output.) Thanks, Harry

    DVD Recorders to use with VOOM?

    Do I understand that Replaytv has some type of Voom support and Tivo doesn't? Are you able to access Voom program/channel listing thru Replaytv or is it some type of other method? Thanks, Harry

    DVD Recorders to use with VOOM?

    Thanks Sean. 480i is for S-Video or composite, Got it! I'm going to surf the net today to see if there are any upcoming DVD Recorders that have the Y PB PR or DVI INPUT for 480p downconversion. If I am understanding correctly, You need one of those 2 inputs for the Voom to output in...

    DVD Recorders to use with VOOM?

    Sean, If I understand correctly, you are able to convert the DVD signal to 480? Is this done in the HS2's setup? Also, can you time record all of HD channels by downconverting in this way? Are there other models of DVD recorders that have DVI or Y PB PR inputs that will accomplish the...

    DVD Recorders to use with VOOM?

    DVD Recorder I also have a similar interest in DVD Recording or High Def recording with D-VHS. My voom Installation is scheduled for Wednesday January 7th and I'm very excited! Right now Tivo doesn't have Voom support, so I am keeping Comcast basic cable on my SD-TV (temporarily). I am hoping...

    DVD Recorders to use with VOOM?

    Sean, Does Voom's receiver have a firewire output that the JVC D-VHS recorder would need to record satellite channels in High Def??? I hope I understand that correctly? Thanks, Harry

    I'm getting Voom on January 7th!

    I am anxiously awaiting my Voom installation. I recently bought my first HDTV, a panasonic LCD 22" Widescreen for my Bedroom. I will be keeping Comcast extended basic cable on my Living room SDTV since Voom isn't compatible with my Tivo yet. I've read a few articles speculating that there might...
