    The End of VOOM?

    Echostar to buy VOOM assets -WSJ Interesting story this morning at Wall Street Journal. CVC stock is up on the news that they are ridding themselves of it. My choice awhile back to go to Comcast has been going well as they started offering a two tuner HD DVR in my area. Still miss all the...

    Hi Walter. I don't know where or why the skew angle was set. It is what it was when it was installed. You could probably mess around with it to maximize your signal. Did you get a meter? I could sell you mine if you like. I have little use for it now. Vince.

    Walter: curious how that 24" dish is working out for you. Any improvement?

    Looks like Walter was the first to PM me, so he will get it. Darrell...spoken like a true environmentalist. LOL!

    The "De-install" guy just left. He left the dish. PM me if you want it, as I'm unlikely to return to this board much. Signin' off............

    Ha!....you'd have to clear half the firs up on Council Crest. Think that would go over well with the Parks Dept.?

    VOOM in Portland, Oregon Area

    Darrell: I'm shooting through neighboring trees. Probably never should have been installed in the first place, but I did have many good reception days this summer. Walter: you are also welcome to it. Let's wait until my de-install (is that a word?...like de-plane I guess) on Friday to make sure...

    Hey buffetta...do you want to try a 24" dish??? Voom told me they are only picking up the STB's and are leaving the dish "for the next tenant". Seeing I have no use for it, you are welcome to it.

    VOOM in Portland, Oregon Area

    Walter...Yes, you have a good memory. We wanted to get it done this summer, but it got stuck in Engineering in the City Planning office (still there in fact). No way we are going to rip the roof off this late in the season so we are stuck until next spring/summer. Should have a better shot on...

    Hey Walter. My signal got worse so I cancelled today. Sure jealous of you guys in the 90's. Even with the largest antenna, I never got higher than the low 80's. It just wasn't meant to be for me. I'll be back when they add a west coast bird (good luck with that right?).

    Threw in the towel today

    Now that the rains have come back to the Pacific NW, I can't see paying for VOOM when I can only receive it about once a week. I cancelled and will probably go with a cable HD package or Dish with a DVR. I'll be back when VOOM adds a West coast satellite or hell freezes over, whichever comes...

    Soccer on WorldSport: UEFA Cup or Frienly Matches? What would you prefer?

    I'd be interested in them using their resources for covering more La Liga games. One per week isn't enough. How about expanding to cover some of the English premier league matches? Maybe they could show Foxsports how to do HD. That said, the UEFA cup games win over the friendly, hands down.

    WorldSport-HD: UEFA Cup: Brugge vs. Chateauroux LIVE 9/16 @ 2:28pm EST

    Yes, interesting game and good coverage, but all the big stars are in Spain. GIVE ME MORE LA LIGA!!! They should cover more than 1 game/week. I'd be willing to do the commentary at the extra site if they fly me to Spain. Come on Worldsport!

    La Liga fan thread

    Oh yeah, the current standings can be seen here: http://www.sportinglife.com/football/overseas/spain/table/ They also state: "Teams receive three points for a win, one point for a draw and no points for a defeat. The bottom three teams will be automatically relegated. If teams finish...

    La Liga fan thread

    Hi Sean. You get 3 points for a win, 1 for a tie, and zero for a loss. Hence, there were 6 teams with 3 points after the first week. All really tied, but they ranked them by who won first I think. It is going to be real tough for Real Madrid to keep Owen as a sub, but that is what they did last...

    La Liga fan thread

    Hi Folks. There is only one reason I still subscribe to Voom (when I can get it), and that is World Sport coverage of La Liga. With the new season on, I thought other fans may want to discuss the sport here. Any thoughts about about Real Madrid's pick up of Owen? Any Valencia fans out there?

    Sunspot caused problems...bad timing 4 upload

    Looks like Voom picked a bad time to upload new software as there was a wicked sunspot (Sunspot 652) problem the past few days: see Spaceweather.com for details. Also, I found you do not have to be targeted to get the new software. Both my boxes said N/A for targeting last night before I...

    VOOM projector users

    Actually, I got Voom BECAUSE of my projector. Regular SD TV looks like crap when projected (even when upscaled), while HD channels look fantastic. Before I had Comcast with only a few HD channels so I was stuck watching DVD's. I'm using an Infocus LS110 with a 100" Stewart Firehawk Electroscreen...

    Darrell. Where did you find the best place to buy the E85? I was thinking the same thing.

    VOOM in Portland, Oregon Area

    On another note, I was again scheduled for a 30" dish last week (after much complaining), but DBS said they didn't have any in stock and Voom was no longer offering them in our area. I went back and forth with VOOM and ordered my "service" be cancelled due to lack of stable signal. They gave me...

    Floyd actually rerturned a call? Holy cow, you are already ahead of the game. LOL. I'm sure you'll experience the same level of service from Adams as the rest of us. Keep Installs Inc.'s number handy.
