I know with Dish, you can email the ceo if you are not happy, but who do you contact at Directv if you feel you are getting jerked around? I just signed up, and the csr promised a lot of stuff to me in order to reel me in. I have already called back once to make sure I was getting the deal...

When E* came out to do my HD upgrade, they could not get a signal. (trees) Another installer came out...same story. Also recently, the trees around my house and my neighbors have gotten so bad that my regular E* signal only comes through about 75% of the time. Lots of "aquiring signal" messages...

I "leased" a 942 last June when I signed up. I questioned the CSR about the $250upfront lease fee, mentioning that I knew MPEG4 would be coming soon, and I didn't want to pay a $250 surcharge if the equipment would be obsolete in a year or so. The CSR reassured me that by paying this upfront...

Maybe it's just me, but I think some people here are just WAY too uptight about HD vs. HDlite. Is there a difference? Sure. Is it a huge difference? Not really. Still looks damn good to me. I would rather have more HDlite channels (variety) than a few pure HD channels showing lame movies or...

Anyone have a Sirius "Replay" receiver? I am about to get Sirius and I am trying to decide on a receiver. The replay ones (starmate & sportster) look nice, but I was wondering if anyone has them and likes them. I am considering the lifetime sub (for the life of the radio), so I want to get...

I was installed a few days ago. (942 + 811 w/180 + Showtime + HD + Voom). I have never had a DVR, so I am trying to think of ways that I will want to use it. I usually don't have a movie channel package, but I went with one this time because I figured I could find some movies that I like, then...

OK, so I am getting installed tomorrow morning, and I have the 942 sitting here. I have never had a DVR before. I was just wondering, since the space on the 942 is limited, can you burn DVDs from the 942 to a DVD recorder? It might make it worth the investment in a recorder. It seems to me...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5773489508&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 This guy is selling a 942 on ebay. He states "There are only about 80 of these receivers currently in the entire DISH NETWORK inventory." His original "buy it now" price was $1099. He just...

I can appreciate your trying to move almost every remaining thread from the Voom forum to the Dishnetwork forum, but without the (related to voom) Dishnetwork threads here, what would be left of this forum? Would people just sit here and exchange messages about how their OTA looks on their Voom...

compared to the dish 500? More channels? Does it eliminate a dish? -k

I had E* for about 7 years before dropping them completely for Voom last year. Who says they don't make any deals if you have been with them before? Here's what I got: - The entire "new" customer channels promo deal ($31.99 for top 180 for 3 months + $5 off of the HD pack for 1 year...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32848&item=5771790510&rd=1 With only 45,000 of us voomers, what are the odds that anyone seeing you in this shirt would know what the hell it was? -k

What are those little hand held thingy scopes called that installers use to find where their satellites are? Are they expensive? Accurate? Where can they be bought? Price? Worth getting, or just point and tweak on your own? Thanks. -k

I am a former e* customer (7 years) who dropped them about 6 months ago for v*. I currently OWN the following equipment: -1 Dish 4700 receiver - 1 "regular" E* dish (w/lnb) - 1 DISH 500 (w/2 lnb) - 3 VOOM receivers - (only one is activated right now- works for OTA) - 1 regular VOOM...

I unplugged my sat. cable last night, just so i can hopefully still get ota after voom shuts down. I am not sure if I can get a good read on E*'s birds, but I would sign up for them if the dish didn't have to sit in my from yard- I would like to give it a shot. With all this talk of e* or V*...

I used to be an E* customer, but my trees grew in and blocked one of their birds, and many of their best channels. As much as I dislike cable, it looks like my choices are between Comcast and Directv here in the Chicago area, and I am not even sure if I have a good view of D*'s birds. That's why...

With the new channels added today and talk of a possible middle tier package, I was wondering how much a middle tier package would be worth to everyone: $10/month for the new Discovery channels, and whatever else they would add to it? $10/month for local sports? $15 / month for both...

When did I start Getting the "SunSports" channel? It is a Florida sports channel, and I live in the Chicago area. I would kill to get MY local sports channel. -k

On my way to work today at about 7:45am central time, Howard Stern made the comment "what is going on with Cablevision and the Dolans? He said he wanted to talk about it, but he would wait until Robin covers the news, which is usually the last 1/2 hour of the show. Did anyone hear what he had to...

All of the showtime/Moviechannel channels are free this weekend on Voom. (for those of us that aren't "vavavooming") -k

NEW POLL- How often are you clicking on the Voom logo at the top of this page to see if the voomllc.com site has changed anything?: 1) Every 30 seconds. 2) Every minute. 3) Every 5 minutes. 4) I have a timer set to remind me to check it every hour, on the hour. 5) Once or twice a day...

Here's how everything could be playing out in my eyes: As speculated in the headlines, Charles is trying to sell CVC to finance Voom. Jimmy is fighting for his life trying to save CVC- thus the panicked site shutdown, press releases, and internal memos of desparation and doom & gloom. Jimmy...

The headline reads "[$$] Voom's Future Is Uncertain Amid Conflicting Statements" (WSJ= Wall street Journal) Anyone have a subscription?
