My apartment complex is doing construction which blocks my LOS to the satellites, so I can't get a signal. The problem is that I'm only 9 months into my 1 year contract. Obviously, I need to cancel b/c I can't see the sky. Moving the dish to another location wouldn't work as the new bldg will...

I'm having a problem with my HD-Tivo, and I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me. I realize there is a DVR forum, but my problem is not related to the DVR functionality of the unit. I have my HD-Tivo connected to my Samsung DLP, and up until today had been using the HDMI-DVI cable to...

First snowstorm is knocking out my signal. Snow is only accululating at base of my eliptical dish, right where my LNBs point. What can I do to stop build-up? 6 times in 3 hours I've had to sweep away snow, and it's a very light snow.

I know there seems to be several of these, but I('m having trouble. I live in a DNS, and get the LA feeds of CBS and NBC. Even though I'm in a DNS, I'm eligle for Oklahoma City locals, which I also get. The troble is, if OKC CBS carries a game, I'm blacked out on ST. This is bad b/c of...

First off, I apologize for posting another "new to DirecTV" thread. But I've come across conflicting information on my questions, and was hoping for the final word. I'm doing a 1-room setup, with the only receiver being the HD-Tivo. My current setup for Voom is one coaxial line coming into...

Wilt, any update about when you guys will have ESPN-HD back to 720p? PS I know there is another thread for this, but I just wanted a stand alone last post on this yahoo forum about this question?

Premeires August 7. Awesome.

I just read a new message on my Tivo saying 999 is changing from "Voom" to "ABCNEWS". I know there is supposedly some digital substation called abcnews, but not in my town. Anyone else get this message?

Terminator is supposed to be on channel 103 right now, but nope. You figure between all the millionaires at Voom this could be corrected.

Is Raging Bull coming to Voom? I saw a clip of it on the barker. When? Did I already miss it? It seemed like it was coming to Epics.

Is anyone using the component video cables supplied by Voom? I'm going to try using component instead of DVI, but want to make sure the Voom cables are up to task. Are these good enough, or do I need to fork out some dough for some better ones?

Will ALL of the following be available or implemented by November 15. 1. Initial implementation of MPEG/WM9 complete. For the purposes of this poll, implementation is considered encoding of material by VOOM and presence of decoder module in all applicable subscribers' STBs. 2. VOOM will...

I've posted this in the Satelliteguys forum, but put it over here to hopefully get a response from Wilt H. I'm aware ESPN produces in 720p, but it was earlier posted that Voom was sending it at 1080i. Is this still going on? I have no way to check this with my TV, but I hope Voom has gone...

I'm posting in the main forum b/c this is a technical question, not a programming one. I'm aware ESPN produces in 720p, but it was earlier posted that Voom was sending it at 1080i. Is this still going on? I have no way to check this with my TV, but I hope Voom has gone back to sending it in...

I'm thinking of getting a DLP set. One thing I'm interested in is that the DLP isn't supposed to age like CRTs and CRT-RPTVs. I know the bulb will dim and have to be replaced, but when I stick in the new bulb, is it as good as new? How long will bulb last before PQ will suffer? The problem...

Very bad audio and video drops on PBHOTHD for about the past 2 hours, at least. At least every 15 seconds. Less frequent but still annoying audio drop outs on HBO-E HD. I think this has been an ongoing issue for these 2 channels for a long time. It will be fine for several weeks, then for a...

Since many Fox affiliates are upconverting to 720p right now, this counts as HDTV talk. Fox is airing the fabled lost episode of Arrested Developement Sunday at 8:30 EDT. Catch what might well be the last episode ever of the best show on TV from this past year, IMO.

I am watching an infomercial on PAX right now. The first thing I noticed is they aren't saying 39 HD channels. They're saying "more than 30." It also says with Voom you have "access to PPV channels." Anyone seen this? Is it old and I'm behind the times?

In joining the tradition begun by the Dish forum in preparation for a chat, please post your prediction(s) on what you beleive Voom will announce in June. Sean seems to be acting like he knows something :cool: and isn't saying, so take your best shots. Let's keep the talk that got us all in...

Anybody catch the season finale last night? Pretty good. I just love T'Pol's nice big . . . ears. But Nazis? Reptile Nazis? I've always thought the back-in-time gimmick sci-fi shows do is stupid. Even Data's head in 1880 San Francisco was poor.

Here is a link to a great avsforum discussion involving SRS Circle Surround. A guest on the discussion is a tech at SRS. The avs guys really let him have it. Moral of the story, according to SRS: Dolby is an evil monopoly, you should upgrade your receiver to handle our signal. We claim that...

Having read recently that many Voomers are complaining about PQ through DVI, I was curious to see if there's a consensus. Has HDCP hurt the DVI reception?

That was terrible! It was a commercial. I should have been forewarned. If it was funny, I may not have minded. UGH.

Article from Vurbano's best bud at tvpredictions.com Everytime I start thinking about getting D* I read something like this. Doesn't D* get it at all? I really think Newscorp is wrong on this one. Also, what the hell is 3-D TV? Like from Minority Report? That's like 15 years away.

As detailed in the Stock forum http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?p=102894#post102894 the new TECHTV-G4 will begin airing on May 28. Is this a channel of interest to you? It's appears to be an equal combination of both channels.
