    Cancelled VOOM, may or may not be VOOM's fault

    It is democratic country, man! Between PlayboyHD and a happier wife, the choice was an easy one. But I am very depressed about moving back to cable. It is history going backward, and I don't watch TV much any more...

    Cancelled VOOM, may or may not be VOOM's fault

    It is hard to believe for me too. There is a burning mark on the mount of the OTA as well as the dish signal module. The cable from the dish to the receive got burned and becomes useless. The lighting caused a surge, hit the voom receiver, and pass the surge to the power system though the...

    Cancelled VOOM, may or may not be VOOM's fault

    I am not an expert to give you a good answer. I went up to the roof and see no wires except the cable. So I called Voom to check it up, but the lighting came first...

    Cancelled VOOM, may or may not be VOOM's fault

    I have no problem with VOOM programming, and in fact very happy with what I got. But as I mentioned in one of my earlier post, the installer never ground the dish, and finally, lighting hit us... I am in a process that asking InstallInc. to pay for all the damage, and VOOM promised to help...

    Warning! Ground your Dish

    Chris, Thanks for the education. According to eyewitness when everything broke down, there was a loud noise outside the house and a orange flash. No sign that the lightning stroked the dish directly. It is possible it happened the way you descript. Thanks again.

    Warning! Ground your Dish

    Here is what happened. This weekend, after a storm (not a big one), my house got fried. The computer router, AV receiver, VCR, VOOM receiver, Furnace, all Ethernet cards on all connected computers... I just found out that my 2 neighbor house got similar damage. The reason is unknown for...

    Sean, where is your cool title picture?

    Sean, You are famous for your greenish, futuristic picture. Seems you changed twice recently (personally, I won't put my real picture on web site, especially family's). May be just me, I miss your old icon, which become some sort of spiritual thing of this forum :) I assume I spoke for a...

    DVI question with voom`

    I will be nice if you have another TV to try on. My guess the problem is the TV, rather than the DVI cable or STB.

    Is there any chance to get rid of the land phone line requirement

    My installer never mentioned the phone line, and my phone jack is nowhere near the receiver. I questioned VOOM about the land line, here is the response I got: ... Your receiver must always be directly connected to a traditional land-based telephone line to receive the VOOM Service. If it...

    Would you pay for VOOM Exclusive channels?

    IMO, only PlayboyHD worth $14.90/mo, VOOM won't sell its channels well (if sold separately). I will definitely drop VOOM if they do that.

    Voom cables

    Most installers will perfer to use your existing cable wires already build-in to your house, so that they only need to run the cable from the dish to the cable box on the outside wall of your house. I kept my regular cable with basic cable service as backup, and the cable modem for internet...

    I think VOOM also should get rid of the phone line requirement.

    ISF Calib.

    It seems most people dissagree with my comment, and I am not supprised. I just want to put this thing in a practical perspective. 1. The calibrated set in my local store is a top-of-line Diamond Mits, and I dislike the color; 2. There is a very practical reason for the commercial art...

    ISF Calib.

    I tweak my TV (Samsung HLN617 DLP) by myself and very happy with the result. Talk about "noticable" difference, you can achieve that by adjusting Brightness/Contrast... There is a calibrated Mitsubishi in my local store, it looks to me like a dust coated. I am very picky on colors based on my...

    Landline Required for VOOM??

    What is the phone line for? My installer didn't do anything about the phone line, and I have no intension to try it out unless there is a benifit. Would anyone please educate me what the phone line is designed for? People even mentioned that VOOM to enforce the phone connection... I am...

    Voom reports 8000 subscribers

    I don't think 8000 is a pretty number, as one of the happy VOOMers, I think we should help to keep VOOM alive... Let's tell our friends about VOOM!

    VOOM Installations

    Welcome aboard, Tom! VOOM is such a young company and new things keep coming up, little improvement here and there, new channels showing up once a while, which make life so much more exciting! Don't forgot to get the PBHD :)

    Improvement Wish List for Voom

    I kind of agree with people about Cinema 10 channels. But I guess VOOM has them for at least two reasons: 1. beef up the number of HD channels for marketing; 2. Place holder. I like astrossuperfan's comments that if VOOM can get some more popular movies on Cinema 10 channels, things will be...

    Improvement Wish List for Voom

    I have Voom for a month now, and like most of you here, I like what I got for the price and will stay in. I guess Voom is monitoring this forum closely and I'd like to start this thread to tell them what Voomers want beside fixing their known bugs... Here is my wish list: 1. In the program...

    Starting to rethink this

    In short, if Comcast provides more HD programs in a reasonable price, I won't get VOOM. I am very thankful to VOOM for providing this competition that bring more HD content on the TV and also bring the price down.

    How to prepare for a VOOM install FAQ?

    Rick, congratulations! Hope you will like it. It seems you have done enough research already, there's not much I can add, but it may help: 1. Check you house and selet the south facing location for the dish. I have a townhome, so I have to write to the association a letter... 2. If you have...
