Looks like cable does have locals, but no FOX. It's just awfully pricey... and no IFC. Still an option though.

The downside of cable is less SD channels for about $20 more. Important ones like IFC. Plus I haven't researched OTA HD with cable, does it work the same way? On the subject of SD picture quality-most of that would be watched on a 32". The 65" would be the HD. I don't want 'crap', but I'm...

Thanks for the input fellas! Although, I don't feel any better about making a choice then I did when I started. All the nay-saying kept me from Voom, now I'm afraid of Dish... If I post a similar question in the Direct forum will I get similar comments? By the 'you get what you pay for'...

My main reason for looking at Dish is the price. The DirectTV website shows a couple hundred for HD boxes. Dish would be free.

I should have explained better. I meant OTA HD locals. I can get those with the 811 can't I?

I'm considering signing up for Dish Network after 5 months of rabbit ears on top of the TV. We've had Dish Network in the past before we moved and I had no problems. I was considering Voom, but it was missing some channels the wife wanted and now I've missed out on the free install deal. I've...

So, if I get the Dish HD package it would be an HD 'receiver' for locals? I'd just need to supply an antenna and an HD ready TV?

My cable comes in through the basement, but it's old wiring. I'd need upgraded cable for Voom (at least that's my understanding) and they'd have to fish that.

I still haven't done anything :( No Voom, Dish, cable, nothing!

I'm in a similar situation, but with only two TV's. Having another service just doesn't set well with me finacially. I'm going to have to pick one and accept whatever I have to sacrifice. I wan't Voom's HD, but not sure if I'm ready to give up what the other providers offer.

The installer did say it was overkill to use quad shield. I was just hoping to use it so I wouldn't have to pay the Vomm installer to fish the cable.

Well, he did mispronounce 'membrane' when I asked what the difference was between the cable I have and the newer stuff.

The cable guy came out the other day to hook up a cable modem and said I had old "quad-shield RG-56" cable running that isn't used much anymore. I was hoping to use the existing cable runs for Voom. Will this cable work or will I need new runs?

I'm still considering Voom. Anybody in the Louisville, KY - Southern IN area have any input on installs, OTA reception, etc?

My fear is that the 'free' install won't be free by the time all is said and done. Invariably, little things pop up and the 'free' install costs a couple hundred bucks. That's really the only thing stopping me from giving Voom a shot.

Last night I had to stop by Sears to check out some appliances and since I'm still considering Voom I thought I'd see what they had set-up. There was a TV with a Voom banner around it, but it was playing the same program as the other TV's. As I looked through the Voom brochure an employee...

What's in a standard install? I'm still considering Voom, but I guess this question will go with whatever I choose... What's included in a standard installation? Specifically what kind of cable runs? I know I've read that it's extra to fish through the walls, so does that mean they'll just...

OK guys, help me out. I got moved into the new place over the weekend, so it's time to figure out what I'm going to do. Here's my set-up. Mits HD 65" downstairs and an old Sony 32" upstairs. We don't watch much network TV and just a little of 'basic' cable. Is VOOM for me? Cable is awfully...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm awfully tempted...

How does VOOM work with an SD TV? Will I be able to view programming on my second TV? What about taping things on a VCR? I'm moving next week and need to decide between DishNetwork and VOOM... I've been lurking around here awhile and VOOM sounds pretty cool.
