Nope. I was a dish customer for three years before going to Voom....I was with Voom for a year before they out of business. My one old Dish box was obsolete and they were going to give me a new system anyway. They just didn't want to give me the privilege of paying them $250 to lease the 942...

I haven't had a issue yet. What is the purpose of verifiying the location of the reciever?

I used my wifes cell, social, and credit card. The address is the same. They don't know if we seperated/divorced so she is a new customer. I had tried earlier with another retailer and they were going to let me have everything but the 942 so I cancelled the install. She went to a retailer...

My caller id works occcasionly and this morning I had a message that I was going to be charged a extra $5 since I don't have a phone hookup. I checked the phone connections and I do have a dsl filter on the line. :mad:

Easy. Have your wife put it in her name at a retailer. Make sure that she gives her cell phone number and uses her credit card. That is what I did.

Monsters HD was my favorite of the voom channels. I have dish comming out sat to install the second dish. Now I can fill my 942 full of horror hd goodness!

I get the impression that the installers have a lack of training on the product. I had to show my installer how to scan for the local OTA channels. Everything is working perfectly and I feel that the 942 is well worth the money. I have had it for two weeks and I am completely satisfied. :)

I did tell the installer I was going to call his supervisor and tell him everything was made right...hopefully he can can expect a raise down the road. Now I regret not giving him a tip. In the future, what would you suggest that you tip a installer?

I guess that I got lucky. Voom gave me the channelmaster stealth. It is run straight into my 942 without diplexors and I am getting 90+ strength on all my OTA locals that are about 40+ miles away. My retailer had told me that diplexors would not work on the 942 so the stealth would not...

I think you are right ....but I did not know if it is socially accepted to tip a installer. I did not want to create a uneasy situation where the person would refuse it and think I was doing something wrong.

Happy ending. Communication problem. The retailer talked to the installer and he did not understand the issue. He came out and wired up the voom stealth antenna free of charge (without the combiner and duplexor) . I live about 45 miles away from the transmitters and I am getting 90+ strength...

Do you tip the mechanic that works on your car? Do you tip the UPS deliver man? How much do you tip....20% of the cost of the install or 20% of what Dish charges you? Some things you tip thats a given and some things you don't. Tell you the truth, I haven't had a great experience with a...

One of my gripes over Voom satellite (God Bless its Soul) that it seemed that I could not catch anything at the begining. With the Dish 942, I think I am getting more of my moneys worth of the programming.

Well...things are a little complicated. 1. The retailer owner is a friend of my wife's boss. 2. The installer is the retailer's best installer. He thought that the installer misunderstood my instructions. The retailer states that the duplexor combiner combo does not work with Dish...

Are you suppose to tip?

Before it his any multiswitches at the dish end...meaning reciever, then diplexor, then combiner, then multiswitches, then dish? I just want to make sure....don't want to fry anything. :D Thanks for all the help.

I think I got screwed on my dish install. I asked the retailer if the installer could hook up my voom OFA antenna. When he got here last night, he wanted to know if I was going to pay for it. I told him I thought it would be as simple as just hooking up the coax to the antenna input, so no...

What, no model 942?

Which antenna are you using? The voom? The installer wanted to charge me $149 for another antenna and $120 for installation.

Hi. I am another ex-voomer. I have signed up for service and I have the 942 on order. What OTA antenna is recomended? Can I use my old Voom OTA antenna? Thanks.
