    DVR Series Recording Issue (Dallas/Fort Worth Tx)

    Starting last week I noticed most of my scheduled series recordings had vanished. I rebooted a few times and nothing changed. Still gone. If I tried to set up a new series recording, it doesn't take effect either. This only seems to be a problem with the lower numbered channels though. Here...

    TWC Now In DFW,Texas (Big Disappointment So Far)

    Well TWC has taken over Comcast for a couple of weeks here in Dallas/Fort Worth... My observations to date... 1) Both of my 6412 DVRs became inoperable somehow at the same time... I had to replace both of them after much tinkering. Coincidence? 2) Base on #1 I found that the same...

    Blinko.com Unauthorized Cell Phone Charges

    I found a $3.99 "premium text message" charge on my last T-Mobile bill. In another place on the 50 page or so bill I found the charge was from blinko.com When I called TMobile they didn't seem too alarmed. They said they credited the charge ('ll see next month) and it didn't seem to be a...

    VOOM Email Offer - Oct 2004

    I got this email from VOOM today (Nov 1st) http://www.voom.com/lp/offer5.jsp Still not as good as the free multi receiver install/no commitment that most subs got a few months ago, but those days are long gone. I don't see this promotion doing much good to save them from their...

    VOOM Start-Up Kit At Sears

    There's a VOOM Start-Up Kit selling at Sears for $49.99. The kit itself says absolutely nothing about what you are getting for that money. There's also a VOOM flyer and on the back page it mentions very little about it. All it says is... "Get a VOOM Start-Up Kit for just $49.99 and pay...

    VOOM Deinstall -- What I Got To Keep

    I thought it was interesting that my deinstaller let me keep everything except for my 3 STBs and remotes. This included all cables (component, dvi, phone, etc...), VOOM Dish, and upgraded OTA antenna w/amp. The whole deinstall took 5 minutes. All he had to do was write up the serial numbers on...

    3 Months Of Voom Is All I Can Take

    I signed up in May and got 3 receivers. My current bill is around $82 including taxes. The first OTA antenna was didn't cut it , so I easily got approved for a larger one. I still couldn't get my local sports OTA station (in digital format). While that's not VOOM's fault, I still have...

    OTA Module Gone Bad?

    Today while attempting to change to a local station my stb locked up. So I rebooted (holding in power button for 5 or so seconds). My satellite channels are fine after the reboot but the minute I try switching to the locals either directly by keying in the channel or thru the program guide the...

    Need For Coaxial Cable Between Receivers For DVR?

    My install is this morning. 2 receiver install. I know I want 2 lines run (no diplexer), but now I'm wondering if I should go ahead and get an additional line run between my living room receiver and my bedroom receiver to be ready for the Voom DVR since that appears to be the way Voom will be...

    What Do I Have To Lose Switching To Voom?

    Here'e my current situation. I'm a basic 1 receiver AT120 (w/locals) subscriber to Dish Network for the past 5 years. My receiver is an obsolete 3800 model. I bought an hdtv last year and have been waiting to see what DISH (the leader in HDTV :D) would do to accommodate. Nothing so far that...
