Are the dish deals they are offering today the same as what we've already heard? $250 for the HD-DVR and $100 for the 61.5 dish (although I think I'd get that free since I have a local channel there)? I suppose I'll wait and see if the D* rumors about a June announcement come true.

Pop Star and Alleged Child Molester To Purchase Satellite Service from Cablevision Neverland, Ca.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 31, 2005--Michael Jackson (NASDAQ: CANDYPOCKETS) announced today that he has agreed to purchase the Voom satellite service from Rainbow DBS Co., a subsidiary of...

Does anyone know what happened to channel 311? So far two weeks of the season and nothing.

Over the last few days I've noticed a lot of brief blackouts on the premium movie channels. Today it happened while watching Signs and um er mona lisa smile. I don't recall what channels these were on. Plus I've noticed a lot of times when I turn to a channel there is no sound until I flip...

Is the DVR still on schedule to be released this quarter? My local cable company (Comcast) has just released an HD PVR and I am tempted to switch. But if the Voom DVR is definitely coming this quarter (or even this year I guess) then I would love to stick around for it. If it's six months...

Is Voom planning any extra Olympics coverage? Do we know what channels are showing Olympics in HD?

hahahah ah ahah ah ah aah the early Peter Weir film (1974) The Cars that Ate Paris was on one of the cinema 10 channels the other day. I watched the beginning just to see what it was like and I got totally hooked. I give it 4 stars out of 5 but be prepared for a totally bizarre movie...

I think my second STB is bad. On my main one I get signal power around 80 and signal quality around 96-97. On my second box I only get signal power at around 55. Even though the SQ is still in the 90s I can't watch some channels (but some are fine). I tried everything, rebooting, unplugging...

I just got done watching on the record with Bob Costas on HBOWHD and the signal was breaking up and there were frequent audio drops. It was fine for the earlier broadcast on HBOHD. Then I flipped around and this is occurring on all HBO channels but not on any others. My signal quality is at 96...

My low signal levels (power=65 quality=80) finally dipped to the point of frequent signal loss today (especially on ESPNHD boo!!!). So I called and asked Voom to send someone out to peak my dish. They're coming on Wednesday. If all goes well then I will be a happy voomer. If it doesn't...

Since the software update a few weeks ago I have been getting far less crashes. But my STB still crashes at least once every other day. It's kind of annoying to have to get up and re-boot the box and then wait for the guide data to fiull back in. Do you think they're still working on...

This morning I woke up and both my boxes were crashed. One of them was just a regular crash with the small picture stuck up in the right of the screen. Fixed by rebooting. This box got the new software last night. But the other box -- it was stuck on one channel (normal crash) so I re-boot...

Voom just sent me an e-mail as if I was a charter member offering me a free plus pack. I installed on 3/6 so I'm not a charter member. I called to see if they would give it to me but they said that the e-mail should have just gone to charter members. Here it is: [/b]

I just noticed that I'm missing channels 613 (history), 509 (comedy central) and 507 (FX) on both my TVs. Its says to upgrade call 1-800-get voom. So I called to see what was going on and they said that this is a known issue and that they're working to get those channels back on. Anyone...

Software Update Coming this Weekend I just got this e-mail... At VOOM, each of us is dedicated to continually improving our product and enhancing your entertainment experience. In this regard, this weekend we plan to implement another of our ongoing initiatives to improve your service...

CBS here in Detroit is broadcasting a few b-ball games simultaneously on different sub-channels -- but you can't puick them up on Voom because usually CBS doesn't broadcast sub-channels so they are not mapped by Voom. Am I just SOL? No biggie, I can just watch the game that is shown on the...

I'm not having fun tonight. For some reason I have lost my OTA signals completely. Downstairs on my HDTV the box has also crashed a few times. Upsatairs on my SDTV I have no locals and no satellite channels. The funny part is the system status. My satellite quality is 2147483647...

I'm super happy with the PQ of my locals now. But I have a question. My upstairs TV is an SD 4x3 TV. The locals come in but they are squished so that there are black bars on the sides but none on the tops. I tried playing with the various stretch, squeeze settings but it doesn't change. Any...
