I wanted to start this post by letting everyone know a little bit of history. I was a DIRECTV subscriber for many years. I began purchasing their service when a new home I built in 1997 did not have cable service. Back then you paid two bills (USSB and DIRECTV I think) and the SD picture...

Does anyone know if Dish will be adding this channel??? Versus HD will be showing the Tour de France for the first time in HD. The channel is free to providers that already carry Versus. Will Dish add this to the lineup? Thanks!

My replacement 622 arrived today. I swap it out, run a check switch confirm I can see all three satellites and proceed to the the SW download screen. It has been stuck on the software download screen with "Status: Acquiring Satellite" for 25 minutes. The green bar has not even shown up yet...

Today Dish showed up to upgrade my 942 to a 622 receiver. I had 2 Dish500 dishes, one pointed at 61.5 and the other at the 110/119. So these are the results: (1) The 61.5 dish500 was left on the building. I am ok with this as the installer was not prepared to seal the holes, etc... I...

Ok anyone else getting annoyed at this? Could VOOM please stop adding channels until the PQ is restored! Bandwidth does not materialize out of thin air. Even with statistical multiplexing the new encoders have dropped the picture quality to crap... What good is more channels when the...

Guys, Did anyone happen to catch any information regarding the recording modes on the DVR? Specifically I would like to know if is supports: (1) Name based recording. For example record all episodes of Seinfeld or all episodes of Tour de France. (2) If Name based recording is...

I figured it was time someone did some complayning about D* in the VOOM forum, given all the D* trolling going on recently. I finally decided to cancel and find myself getting a busy signal from their phone tree all night! <SARCASM>With this level of customer service I don't give them...

Today I get this back from VOOM regarding their approximate $2.00 monthly bill increase... Response (Meagan J.) - 09/16/2004 04:08 PM Thank you for choosing VOOM - HDTV Delivered! We certainly apologize for any confusion that has been caused by the raise in your monthly service rate...

I am one of the lucky people where the local NBC station is going to be broadcasting the olympic HD feed 24-7. Regular programming will be on the analog station. Hearing about 321 I had an idea. We can all (at least the lucky ones) use channel 321 to compare the picture quality/compression...

I was wondering if anyone else is seeing picture problems with the playoffs tonight (5/31/2004)? I have 96 signal quality right now and the following is going on: (1) Occasionally once a quarter the screen goes black. (2) Everytime the camera does a fast pan there is subtle macro...

Anyone else seeing major audio dropouts on Discovery tonight? They come and go in spurts about every 10 minutes. When they start you get lots of them at once. My signal is 91, 93 with power 70 during the dropouts. Carlos

I have a Samsung DLP with a single DVI input and two boxes with DVI outputs (DVD player LG-3510A and the VOOM STB). I guess I am tired of switching cables around. Can anyone on the forum with experience recommend a DVI switch? I have found three, two support a remote control and all three...

I am watching Sopranos right now on HBO West. It is pixelating like crazy. These problems were not on the HBO East feed earlier. Calling VOOM right now. Wonder if CSRs have access to the signal on a big board or something. Carlos I say we flood them with calls every time this happens...
