I agree about the Dish skip forward/skip back buttons for commercials. Love the way it works. I never use traditional fast forward for commercials. Tonight I was watching a recording that I had transferred from my old 612 to an external hard drive, then to my Hopper's drive. Playback paused...

I have 1 hopper/1 joey. I was the only one in the house last night and decided to check out some PTAT shows that I had never watched before, and I was watching from the Hopper itself. This was during PTAT recording, but both shows I watched had been recorded on a prior night. I watched one...

Getting my Hopper and Joey on Sunday. I've been away from SatelliteGuys for a while and didn't pay attention to CES so I can't even believe I'm getting it within a few days of it coming out. I could have actually had it tomorrow morning, but frankly I am not ready! Lucky I read Engadget...

I was replied to. Thank you!

Thanks for the info. I was planning on giving them some more time and trying to get a replacement receiver. Some people I know also have Comcast and have had the same receiver problems I have had. They are now on their second receiver and it's doing it to them, too (though not as badly as the...

I signed up for Comcast after I lost Voom. I got all the channels, HD DVR, etc. I'm considering making the switch to Dish Network. I like all the features I got with Comcast that I didn't have with Voom (2-tuner HD DVR is a big upgrade over a VCR, and On Demand is cool). The remote control...

I had Comcast installed yesterday. Full package including all channels, HD, and DVR. $25 off per month for 16 months by switching from a dish brought me to $89/mo. I was paying $99 for Voom so after taxes on the Comcast I might end up paying a little more or a little less. I figured I'd...

So is there a difference between leasing and buying when it comes to additional receivers? Looking at their website if you lease it is $14.50 per month per additional receiver and if you buy it is $5 per month per additional receiver. If leasing goes down to $5 per month, is buying going to...

Ahh, I didn't know that about DBS vs FSS. Maybe VOOM could just use the 30" dishes that they were giving people to help with rain fade, rather than rolling out a brand new eliptical dish.

The exclusive channels owned and operated by Rainbow Media were supposed to go to VOOM as part of the original spinoff (which the FCC repeatedly declined), and I know EchoStar didn't buy them. Is Cablevision hanging onto them, are they going to VOOM HD LLC, are they still up for sale, or are...

Another problem I noticed last night is that I can tune my OTA channels just fine, but only a few of them have programming information in the guide. The channel names and number show up, but the programming says no info. Certain channels have programming info, such as 26 WCIU (in Chicago), but...

I haven't been having any lockups in several months but I've had at least 10 this weekend. I don't have a phone line plugged in. I've also noticed once in a while when paging through the channel guide, a full page of channels will show up blank. The program info is there but the channel name...

I could totally see Microsoft merging with Voom. Bill Gates has wanted to get into television for a long time. They have had a few failed attempts in certain areas over the years. They decided to push hard again with WM9. If I recall, Voom was one of the first to decide to support WM9 for...

Nope, on the Xbox only DVD movies can do DTS and only games can do Prog Scan. :what Both games and movies can do DD5.1, though. I have VOOM, Xbox, Live, and Halo 2 (along with a ton of other games, but that one is owning my life right now). Gamertag: Diabolos...

I saw these identical instructions yesteday and tried them out this morning. I ran into a few problems. On step number 5 if you hit OK it leaves the screen with the colored buttons. I went ahead back into that screen and completed the procedure. When I checked SD channels they were still...

Access is real bad with the memory leaks. I reboot my Windows 2000 servers once a month (as a practice) and my Windows XP desktops as needed, anywhere from a few times a week to a few times a month. I used to reboot WinNT servers/desktops a few times a week and much of my hatred towards...

A few days ago I sent the following email to this address: nbcolympicsfeedback@nbcuni.com. It bounced back to me so I forwarded the bounce to webmaster@nbc.com. I also copied Voom, the FCC, and the USOC. --- Date: Sat, 14 Aug 2004 20:14:02 -0700 (PDT) Subject: I can't watch the...

Mine just says "OLYMPIC: Active". I am in the Chicago area. I can see the HD feed on 321 (also on my OTA, but the 321 feed does seem to be better quality) but I cannot get either of the two SD feeds. Also, on the program guide it says to check other stations like Bravo, USA, MSNBC, and CNBC...

Yeah it sounds like anyone with only a digital OTA signal for NBC will be screwed if they want to see the olympics in real time, or if they want to watch any other programming. Voom is helping us out by broadcasting an SD feed over the satellite so we have the option to watch the local digital...

The standard dish is 18" but they are going to be moving to a larger eliptical dish, I forget the size. The stealth antenna isn't very large, maybe 4.5 ft wide. I live in Aurora and I get all the OTA channels except CBS doesn't come in too well. The closer you are, the better. However, I...

I always thought Fuse looked pretty good for an SD channel. Maybe they are boosting the quality on the channels they own. How does IFC look? :D

I know this won't help, but I had the same problem. It happened to me both ways. It would work on OTA but not satellite and after fussing with cables and several resets it would work with satellite but not OTA. I suspected a bad STB or bad multiplexer. I hardly used the TV upstairs so I...

I don't really want to pay for any of the Cinema 10 channels and it's replacing one of those so I'm pretty much in the same boat as before. Don't want to watch it, don't want to pay for it, but I feel that I'm getting enough value out of the other channels for the price I am paying. Once they...

I would not have signed up for VOOM for $750 up front. As much interest as I had in finally getting some good HD content for my HDTV, I couldn't see spending that kind of money, especially on an unproven service. Though I didn't spend that kind of money on HD installations from either of the...

Good to hear a new one's on its way. I just recently found out that I know someone who's a sound engineer for HD Ready, working on Soundstage. I asked him when they're going to get more quality concerts to show on RAVE. He said that was up to his boss. I suggested Van Halen since they're...
