OK. I answered my own question. A higher-level D* CSR Manager called me back and said that the H20 will work with the Phase III antenna. She said that I'll need the 5LNB dish and the new 6x8 switch to get locals when they're available, but that I can get all the content I get now with the H20.

I've had both D* and E* (it's a long story) but have decided to drop E* and convert completely to D*. Since I need to add three HD receivers it didn't make much sense to buy H10's and then have to tear everything out in a couple of months. So I bought H20's at my local Circuit City. (H20's...

I've got both E* and D*. I have fairly basic packages on both, plus all of the HD services both offer. Watching them side by side, I think E* has better picture quality. The DishNetwork 942 DVR is the best satllite receiver I have ever owned, hands-down. E* also has the Voom HD channels...

I'm with you. $99 is a fair price for 100 HD games. My justification is that I've chosen this route - ST + Superfan - as opposed to attending any live games. Probably not what the NFL wants, people choosing to stay home and watch their choice on HDTV, but it's the route I'm going. I live...

Didn't know about DishDepot. I have since checked it out, and would ahve gone that route if I had known about it. Anyway, got my 942 installed and it is incredible. Very impressive. Great HD PQ, and clearly superior PQ on non-HD channels. Worth the money.

It is wierd, but that's life in the satellite tv business. DishNetwork won't sell existing customers a 942 directly, and most of the listed sellers don't have them either. I went all over the place locally and couldn't find one. So I bought one on EBAY. New, in-the-box, with warranty for...

I've had E* service since 1997 but added Voom a while back. Loved it! When Voom went down I added D* in its place, so I could compare E* with D* side-by-side. I always wondered about D*, whether or not it was better than E*, and also why D* had more subscribers than E*. Though in truth I...

Though I can't guarantee that this works everywhere in the country, in the Dallas area where I live, if you subscribe to local channels through E* and say you also want the Spanish language locals, they come out and put up the second dish at no charge. You don't have to justify it, just say you...

I'm playing the field as well. I've got both D* and E* up and running. I used to have all of the movie channels on E* - their entire lineup - and decided that if I delete the movie channels on E* I can just about pay for the D* monthly fee. Not quite, as there's still about a $20 to $25 per...

I had the additional E* dish pointing to 61.5 installed this morning, and am pleased to say that I too am Vooming again. Got the 10 Voom channels I watched most often. This whole thing was a major hassle and a big pain in the butt, and it ended up being fairly costly for me, but at least...

Also my thanks to Firebird81, and to all who gave me ideas on how to tackle this issue. It is great to be part of a board where people reall help each other.

Oldman: Thank you very much for your guidance regarding the Winegard amplifier. It is exactly the informtion I was seeking. Kudos!

I had no problem receiving all of my local OTA digital channels with the Voom Motorola DSR550. Connecting the same OTA antenna cable to either a D* H10 or an E* 811 (I have both services at the moment) results in much lower signal strength. Signal strengths of 90 to 100% on the Voom box...

Both . . . I already had an E* feed, for the wife and kids who didn't want to switch to Voom and also so that we could use some non-HDTV DVR receivers and tv's we've got. But, for my viewing room I had D* (today) put their dish where the Voom dish was, and now have a D* H10 sitting where my...

I live in a community outside of Dallas that was among the first to get FIOS. I had it installed in a new house my wife and I just built, with the $49.95 15down/2up internet package, and it is phenomenal service. I'm self-employed and office from home, and in my former office I had a partial...

I got the phone call too, not as a message but as a live recording, and then was transferred to a live agent who talked to me about switching to E*. What was interesting to me was that the caller - the recorded voice - said he was from Voom. Part of the statement was that I only had a week to...

I've got Verizon FIOS for phone and internet, and it is amazing. I know they keep talking about delivering HD over fiber, but I haven't heard any specifics as of yet. So far, as with most everything involving HDTV, it's tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow . . .

Not a bad strategy . . stick with E* now and then switch to D* with mpeg4. Maybe I should have done that too. But, I do have one E* HD receiver on my wife's tv, so if I get hard up for TNTHD during the playoffs, I can always pipe her signal to my room. It does bother me, though, that Directv...

The reason I didn't buy their DVR unit or something 3rd party is that I expect that none of their current receivers will work when they switch to mpeg4. Chances are that they'll offer some kind of break on the new equipment when that system is in place. Also, so you know, I'm not a big...

This may not be news to anyone on this forum, but I wasn't sure so thought I'd share the information. I'm a Voom user who signed up for Directv last night. When I did I found out that people switching from Voom to Directv are eligible for a $200 rebate. The good thing is that you can...
