    Curious, are you a lawyer? Not sure if you were calling me stupid b/c I use a debit card, but maybe you should make things more clear.

    Voom charged me 3300.00

    Yeah AMEX acted like no big deal. That is the exact reason I never do any autopay on my debit card. I think the total should be something like this: 79.99 Va Va Voom 14.90(?) PBHD 6x 9.50 6x 5.00 So like 181.00 or so. I am wondering if the "buy button" may be the reason, who...

    Voom charged me 3300.00

    I wish it was only a few hundered!!! I just got an email back from Wilt saying he will check into it. Really great to have someone like him that is willing to help. My biggest fear was that this will take weeks and weeks to get fixed. I just really don't need to have an extra 3K charged on...

    stb problem - anyone else? Yes, don't reboot if you don't have to

    I have 2 stbs with the old software, got 4 more hooked up last Friday. Now one of the new stbs always shows the red sat icon and will show the main voom menu. If I try to go to system setup the screen turns black and does nothing. I swapped another new stb with this to make sure the run was...

    how many Voom stb's in your home?

    I have had 2 for several months. Just got 4 more installed Friday so I am up to 6. Everything is working ok, installer didn't bother about running a line for the OTA antenna to the switch so I had to do that. OTA scanning works ok, but it isn't pickup a few channels that I should be able to...

    Waived install fee for additional receiver

    When I called to add 4 more receivers they credited my account the 199.99 fee for having to wait on the phone for more than an hour. Maybe they are starting to loosing up their policy's?

    Reciever Question

    Called last night and was on the phone for 1hour 35 mins. The CSR couldn't get his computer to work to add my new recievers. They did credit my account the 199.99 fee though so I was very happy about that. Do they just put the switch off the two runs from the lnb? Then split it off from...

    Reciever Question

    yeah I did think about waiting for the DVR. I suffer from a case of being inpatient ;-) We are upgrading our TVs and trying to get rid of dish and stay with voom so I want HD everywhere. I just didn't want to pay the install fee every time we bought a new tv, but if I read everything right it...

    Reciever Question

    I currently have 2 voom recievers right now in my house. I am wanting to add several more, I think 6 is the max? Does anyone know if voom will bring extra recievers even if I will only be hooking one up at the install date. I am unhappy with 199.99 fee just to bring out an extra reciever...

    OTA Ratio Question

    Well I am not exactly sure. Before I got Voom I used a OTA tuner from samsung and I never had these problems. If I remember tonight I will check and see if it still does it on any HD programming. If it does I will hook up my old samsung tuner to narrow down where my problem lies. Thanks for...

    OTA Ratio Question

    Did you have to do anything special with the voom box to get it to work? Would there be a chance that the local station is broadcasting it like that?

    OTA Ratio Question

    I have an Hitachi 57" rear projection. I have the STB set to automatically switch between 1080i and 480i so that tv can do a 4:3 expand so that 4:3 doesn't do a burn-in. Anyways I can only receive one OTA channel (NBC). Tonight while watching E.R. the picture is in HD 16:9 however it does...

    Voom upgrade question?

    Thanks Sean, I will turn it off tonight. By the way this forum has been a great source of information. Unlike many forums this one seems to have people who don't get upset and flame over every little thing!!!

    Need some expert voomers, doing the install right now

    ok i have a feeling this is not good either. He says he can only get a signal of 40. He is stopping there saying that he was told 50-60 was the best you could get b/c the sat is low powered. I remember reading on the board that the signal bar changed after an update, I don't know what version...

    Need some expert voomers, doing the install right now

    yeah he has signal meter and was using a compass. The backyard faces south, my dish 500 is pointed somewhat to the right, he is pointing voom towards the left. He said it was b/c the deck was too low. At one point he did get the signal meter on voom to get about 7, not sure if thats just...
