    Where are the V* and E* birds?

    Hi Sean- Sorry for being aloof on this- so you how does one Dish dish point to all at once? So I'd need a clear LOS to both? And just for reference, do you know the location of the Direct sat? Thanks! -Dan

    Where are the V* and E* birds?

    Hi- My wife and I will be enjoying our last evening with VOOM tonight as we ponder the choices for our next carrier. We couldn't get Direct a few years back because of LOS issues. Voom is fine. How about Dish? If I have a good LOS from zip 02048 in Boston MA to the Voom bird, can I hit the...

    Who to turn to? Dish???

    We're Netflix charter members- still get the 4 at a time for $17.99, so we'll probably use that a lot more. Might have to buy that Zenith 318 DVD player that upconverts to 1080 over component just to keep my HD appetite partially satisfied.......

    Who to turn to? Dish???

    Hi- I love VOOM and my wife and I are deeply saddened by its passing. And we just got BBCAmerica! No more Benny Hill! :( We've been Voomers since the day they started offering the boxes for lease and one of the reason we got it was becasue we just bought an HDTV and Direct's sat was out of...

    Gavel to Gavel Democratic Convention on InVoom (999) 7/26 at 4pm EST

    The convention looked great!! Felt like you were there! The music interludes must've had a direct feed from the sound board becasue they sounded really good. Regardless of your politics, it was great to see it look so good, sound great, and not be interrupted at all! No ads, no commentary...

    Tank on MOOV-HD Rocks-and I know!!

    Scott- Enjoy that trip! Yeah- the sound isn't really that great- fake bubble noises like you're watching Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea! Now there's an idea- an Irwin Allen channel! Funny thing is there's no sound under there but your own breathing and your own thoughts. Usually we...

    Tank on MOOV-HD Rocks-and I know!!

    My wife and I caught TANK the other night and we were very surprised with how good it looks. Especially since we've seen first hand the actual tanks used on the TANK program! We do volunteer work for the New England Aquarium in Boston and I'm a dive volunter and I've been in the GOT (Giant...

    What are you guys using for component switching?

    Ram Electronics is the answer! I bought the following from RAM Electronics for my component video switching. I needed to get my X box and my DVD player switched, and since xbox has like 1 game in 1080, and dvd is like 450 vert lines of rez, why spend hundreds on a top of the line switch...

    Perfect Vison has it in for VOOM!!!

    I see that someone already saw the Perfect Vision stories. I was on the Delta Shuttle last night and picked up PV as one of the free mags they give you. Near the front of the mag with all the breaking news there are three pages of small bytes of news called HDNEWS, all blocked in their own...

    How to remove channels from PG?

    Adding Playboy HD- a little embarrased!

    Okay- took the plunge and called the CSR......... Couldn't be easier! Had a guy- named Dan! Asked for channel 701 (I'm at work and didn't really want to say PLAYBOY!!) He hit my box twice just to be sure, told me the speech about the parental controls, and said to call anytime if I want to...

    Adding Playboy HD- a little embarrased!

    John R- Thanks for the well wishes! We're really proud of him, a little nervous and scared, but it's his job. I figured 3 weeks of PB HD on me is the least I can do. I'm going to try to forward to him my Maxims every month, but I hear because we're trying to respect the muslim nature of...

    Adding Playboy HD- a little embarrased!

    Is calling a CSR the only way to add the PB HD channel? My brother is home on leave before shipping out to Iraq and he's staying with me and my wife and he wants to check out PBHD before leaving his godless infidel ways behind for the next year or so. I fear I'll get some little old lady...

    Good Off Air Antennas/Amplifiers

    linking 2 ant together Sorry for the probably simple question, but how do you link two together? Can I take just a regular 2 way splitter and reverse the input/output and make the two ant leads the out and the single in the out and run that to my VOOM box? If not, what's the cheapest way to...

    VOOM OTA Mapping Problems? (Channels listed are not as expected)

    Been emailing with Peter and Wilt today and Peter just wrote and said my OTA mapping should be fixed when I get home tonight. A quick unplug should be all that's needed. I hope it's that easy! SWEEEEEEET!

    I just spent 35 minutes on hold with VOOM- gave up and emailed to choose a free plus pack, and asked for a confirmation. Hey- the worst they can do is say no, right?! I'll let you know what happens. -Dan

    Billing Update email- pluspacks?

    I just got an email from VOOM titled BILLING UPDATE. It thanked me for being a charter subscriber and asked me to choose my free pluspack. Now I've only had VOOM for about 2 weeks. I've yet to get a bill, but I did choose the basic $39.99 package. AM I still going to get a free pluspack...
