Hello - I live near Sioux Falls, SD and have two HWS receivers and two Joeys. My main HWS has an additional OTA dongle. I am unable to effectively use the OTA on either receiver to schedule series because there is no guide detail for the local CBS, NBC, or ABC channels. I can schedule them on...

I recently put a 612 receiver in a bedroom that had no good way to run an ethernet cable so it can do broadband. I picked up an Asus WL-330gE which is a multifunction network device the size of a deck of cards. One mode allows it to make an Ethernet device wireless. You hook it to your...

This morning I noted that Dish was taking down our locals one at a time, leaving a screen noting that the signal would be back soon. When I got home tonight, I checked and it appears that Sioux Falls locals are now HD.

The past few days our 622 has been sporadically getting a big black box covering about 80% of the picture and sticks around for a few seconds. It is placed in the upper right corner. It may happen twice in a minute then not again for a half hour. I have tried a soft reset (hold power button)...

I am somewhat deaf in one ear, and sometimes I need to enable captioning, and others in the household don't need it. It is a royal pain to toggle captioning, when it really should be one or two keypresses. Dish - are you listening (probably not)? How about setting it up so that holding the...

A week ago we were watching TV when our 622 turned itself off, then when I turned it back on the fan came on full blast and then turned off. For the 18 months we've had it, the fan would be on all the time - quite annoying but seemed normal for the 622. So after it comes up there seemed to be...

OK - we've had Dish for about 2 years (since Voom bailed), and last summer we upgraded receivers. We currently have a leased 622, a leased 625, and we own a 301 and a 311. The 301 just died, causing switch problems and has channels missing. Coincidentally, I was thinking of replacing the 301...

Hey - what's the latest on the Tivo lawsuit? I've searched the forum and the web but have not found any recent news.

Hello - I want to upgrade from my 811 to a 622 but given that the most recent firmware release seems to have left it unreliable for some, I am reluctant. But - if I recall correctly - the current $299 deal runs out at the end of March. Has there been any extension to this date, or indication...

I bought a 311 receiver but when I plug it in I get error 020 "The smart card currently inserted is not valid for use with this receiver". This is interesting since the 311 has a built-in card and can't possibly have the wrong card. I have contacted the seller and they are sending another...

Hello - I have read that there is a limit of 6 receivers on an account, then I saw some posts by installers saying that they have installed up to 16 receivers on an account. What is the limit? I know that if you connect a phone line to a dual receiver, then you are only charged for one...

Seems to me (as a new subscriber) that the Sirius music channels duplicate the CD music channels and that if the duplication were eliminated they could perhaps free enough bandwidth to add a couple more HD channels. How many of the CD music channels would they have to free up to add one HD...

I have two questions regarding DHA (Digital Home Advantage). First of all, I was just installed with one 811 and three 311's. They prefer to give you an 811, a 322, and a 311 but I did not want to add any wiring for the 322. My first question is whether I can add a receiver bought...

Hello - I recently noted that my STB had not ever phoned home. And for quite a while it did not appear to have tried. I checked and found that I had it connected to the second phone line that we had disconnected a few weeks ago - so I switched it to the main line and put in a DSL filter since...

Hello - I have the signal from my Voom STB distributed to two other locations in my house so I wanted the capability of having a UHF remote as I did with DirecTV. Following some recent threads I set out to accomplish this and it is working very well. You only need 3 things: Voom remote...

OK - after experiencing rain fade with the 18" dish, I requested a larger dish. I got a 28" dish a few weeks ago, and while it improved my signal somewhat, I still get rain fade with even a light rain. I live in SE South Dakota, have a clear line-of-sight, and do not have diplexors or...

I logged a service call with Voom about 4 weeks ago, asking for a 30" dish due to rain fade. First they said they would send a 24", then they said 30", and after several weeks of waiting I received a 28" dish today. Actually it is oblong - 28" tall and 24" wide - maybe this is what they call a...

Greetings fellow Voomers! I know that the Voom is reported to be lame, but I want another one to use in another room in conjunction with an infrared extender. Any idea where I can get another remote? Thanks!

I am a new subscriber but have been watching the forum for weeks. My box has not updated from 5.08 to 5.68 yet but I have seen nothing to indicate that the updates will reduce stuttering. After a reboot I get no stuttering for most of the day, but late in the day or overnight it starts to...

Anyone near Sioux Falls that can tell me who their installer was? I have install scheduled for 4/21/04...

Hello - I have had a 65" Mitsu HD capable TV sitting in my living room for about 2 years with no HD sources - it's time to get some use of HD. I like the Voom offering and despite the recent problems, I realize that they are going to have problems to begin with - any service does. Anyway...
