    Anyone in SE lower Michigan

    I'm in Troy and it got me as well. I am a new customer and was pretty shocked when my signal went to zero from about 1 centimeter of snow. I have had Dish Network and Voom in the past and don't recall this ever happening. I called customer service and they told me to sweep it off and maybe...

    World Cup HD

    That makes sense since there is no chance of injury playing soccer. Gotta keep those kids from playing those rough games of Baseball. All that standing that goes on in Baseball could cause some serious injury. And to top it off, you have to sit on a bench for half of the game. Just be...

    No Dish 1000 kits in Detroit?

    Ordered the Dish 622 deal on Feb. 2nd with an install date of Feb. 26th. I got my 622 sometime last week via UPS. Installer shows up around noon yesterday hoping that I was sent a Dish 1000 kit since they don't have any and wont be getting any until April. He called Dish and I was basically...

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    Sucks to be me. I was previously a DISH subscriber so cannot get any decent deals. I'm not really interested in buying an outdated 921 for $549. There is not even an option for the 942.

    VOOM adds 5 new channels!

    VOOM needs more subscribers. Any additional channels that can bring in new subscribers is great. I will never watch these new channels but I'm happy to have them as it is important to others. I've heard several times that people would consider switching to Voom but they don't have SCIFI, or...

    Info bar and plasma burn-in, see-thru info bar?

    I wouldn't worry about it. I've played xbox and pc games with static images for hours at a time without any sight of burn in on my panny. I can't imagine a 5 second image causing burn-in even if its changed 50 times a day

    I like the Voom remote!

    I just recently purchased the mx-700. Love it, pretty much the same as the mx-500 I think except 2x the cost with the ability to program through the PC. Now my wife can actually turn the home theater on and switch to voom, dvd, pc, etc. with the touch of a button. She didn't particulary enjoy...

    If you like sports might be time to leave Voom

    The upcoming pistons season is the only reason I have to continue paying dish network. I cannot miss any piston games. Please give me FSD so I can stop wasting money on Dish.

    Espn-HD: NBA Basketball : Indiana Pacers at Detroit Pistons 8pm EST

    Minnesota would get annihilated without Garnett. I will agree the east is pitiful other than the top 3 teams. Pacers and Pistons were above .500 against the west this year. Must be pretty embarrassing for those Varsity teams.

    Espn-HD: NBA Basketball : Indiana Pacers at Detroit Pistons 8pm EST

    Much stronger? Without Cassell, Minnesota is better than Detroit in 1 position, Garnett.

    RAnT! I cant really tell huge differance with HD over SD with Voom

    relatively short lifespan? Relative to what? Maybe humans, not TV's. Burn-in is likely to happen if you display flight arrival times 24 hours a day but I don't do that very often at home. Lets keep the myths flowing. The real problem is the price of gas means it will be extremely costly...

    NEED an Honest opinion on SD Picture Quality!!

    I see the sparklies often while watching comedy central on my Normal tv and on my Panny Plasma. That's about the only SD channel I watch often so not sure if its on all or just that one.

    2 recievers, only 1 OTA reception

    I had the exact same problem. To fix it, I just got rid of the diplexer and plugged my silver sensor antenna into the 8vsb port. That receiver has worked perfectly and has not had to be reset once since my installation last monday. When I called Voom technical support they said the problem...

    what do you do if the box locks up?

    I've had the same problem with the signal light turning red and 0 signal two times so far. unplugging and plugging back in is how I fixed it. I have a feeling the reason its happening for me is because of the diplexer. I have two receivers and its only happened on the one that is using the...
