    New to the 722k, and need help...

    Just wanted to know if it was possible to play all the episodes back to back within a specific group folder, without having to start them manually one right after another? Thank you.

    What HD channels are coming?

    I have returned to Directv, after having dealt with comcast long enough, and I am pretty impressed with all the HD channels D* has to offer. My question is what could they possibly add next? Is there honestly any other HD channels out there? It seems that they have pretty much covered it all. I...

    they left the 30" dish???

    Hi guys, just wanted to pop in and let you guys know they picked up my VOOM equipment last week, but left the 30" dish they provided me with for the rain fade issue I was having? The installer who picked it up said he didn't want to try and break it down to fit into his small car. I signed the...

    Well folks I'm out...

    It was time for this guy to make his decision on VOOM, and I think I made the right choice. I'm dumping them and sticking with D*. The constant picture quality fluctuations, microstutters, bad looking sd channels (sparklies), and rain fade problems are my main gripes with V*. I'm not going to...

    *AHHH*.. no VOOM for me!!!

    Yeah, it sucks I'll be without V*, and D* for about a week as I'm getting a new roof put up on the house! I can't believe I will be without HD, even if it's just for a few days (yeah I know I've been spoiled)! I'm stuck with this lame a$$ basic cable, that really looks terrible in my area. I...

    Since VOOM may read this...(Make mozilla/firefox compatible with VOOM website)

    Can you please fix your new website to allow us mozilla/firefox users to view it? Some of us don't have IE anymore. Thank you.

    Long VOOM infomercial....

    I've got a half hour VOOM infomercial on right now on my local Fox station. Pretty cool, this should get some more buzz going.

    I've come to the conclusion...

    That StarzHD, and HBOHD are the least compressed *premium movie* channels on VOOM. I find little to no pixelations on movies and programs on either of these channels. Tonight Hulk showed very little artifacts, and really held up great during the action scenes. ShowtimeHD, and CinemaxHD are the...

    Tested DVI out *again*...

    I have been using components for some time now, as the DVI picture became unstable (for me) a while back, (black/white outs etc...). Anyways yesterday I decided to give DVI another try. I calibrated another setting on my tv to get the picture just right for DVI, and I was pleasantly surprised by...

    on Max HD east with Spiderman! Fast movement = nasty artifacts!

    UGHH!!! Showtime HD boxing...

    is so ugly! VOOM's dollar fight was much more pleasing to the eye! Motion artifacts, and what looks like a lot of noise filtering? Just plain UGLY!

    Anyone else getting HBOHD on 261 too???

    StarzHD west 262 is still there, but no StarzHD east for me. Just HBOHD in it's place. Anyone else?

    Cinemax HD channels...

    are horribly out of sync with the audio here. Anyone else see it? Btw PQ on these channels looks great! The audio has been out of sync *badly* on these 2 channels for the past couple of days.

    Well I should be getting my new 30" dish..

    and new STB sometime this morning between 8, and 11. it's 9:49 here now and I'm still waiting for the installers arrival. I will report back after everything is done. Maybe throw up a few picks of this giant dish. I wish it were gonna rain later tonight so I could check the rain fade issue I...

    VOOM really does listen....

    I noticed today that, after several of us people complained of the bright "HDN" logo on this channel HD News has now changed it. Now it is very see thru, and while it could be better, it is a lot less likely to burn into my screen. So much better than it used to be! Way to go VOOM!

    It's funny but true...

    MOOV, (as bad as this channel is *IMO*) has some of the best looking HD sometimes. There is this one video that shows this model train, and it has to be in the top 5 best looking HD visuals I ever saw. So detailed, and crisp. If you've seen it you'd know what it is I'm talking about. It just...

    STB problems...

    PQ problems aside, anyone else having more frequent lock ups with their STB lately? I have been having this happen to me once a day now. Also when changing channels I'll get a black screen with a message saying "no signal on satellite channel ***". This happens a lot. Yes I do admit I am a big...

    ANyone else having audio drop outs...

    and pixelation to go along with them right now? I'm getting this problem on pretty much all of the premium movie channels. Please let me know if you are experiencing the same. My signal levels are still great btw, (96 quality, 78 power)

    Anyone having trouble with audio...

    on Showtime HD west? CH 242. I am getting stuttering audio. Picture looks fine, but audio is really nasty. This is the only channel I can hear this problem on. Anyone else?

    For those who haven't seen this problem...

    Tune into Showtime HD west right now! I know it's almost 11pm West coast time, but for those awake, tune in and see the stutters!!! They are so bad, even with just 2 characters on screen just standing and talking it's stuttering so bad! It's even pixelating a bit too. Why is this happening to...

    If we don't complain they won't fix it!

    Look last night Rave HD, and Showtime HD west were just unwatchable, so I post here and over at yahoo to get Wilt's attention. I get several responses here, where folks see the same exact thing. Over there I get one response saying they see it, one saying they haven't watched Rave lately, but...

    Rave is now suffering...

    from the same problems that were present on Showtime HD west a couple days ago. Stuttering very badly now!!! C'mon VOOM get your act together already!!!!

    the stutter/frame drop that plagues VOOM..

    I would like to know how many folks out there are actually seeing this problem. So please reply if you see, or don't see.This problem for those of you who may not of heard about it, is a just a very subtle frame skip/ stutter that can occur every few seconds, or every few minutes.It will appear...

    Has the Showtime West HD problem been fixed?

    I haven't really had time lately to watch tv, (been over worked) but tonight I just turned on the tv for a short time, and didn't notice the that really bad stutter during fast movement. Again I only had it on for a very short time, so I could be wrong. I did still notice the annoying small...

    a service call experience...

    about a week or so ago, I had a very light rain come through my area, and experienced rain fade with VOOM, my signal went from 96, down to 68, and was completly screwed til the rain subsided. Then signal went right back up to normal. So I called VOOM, and they told me, that it's most likely my...
