they might release a module you plug in that does mpeg4 so no need to buy another receiver just buy the module. they did it before for the 6000 with the 8psk module

you could put twice as many hd channels on mpeg4 so the reason 2006 they will offer twice the voom channels. charlie has done this in the past with ethnic channels that were on fta/another mpeg2 system on kuband they migrated everyone over to dishnet so he's doing the same thing here which is...

You know what this has been a blessing in disguise for me, first off its very easy to subscribe to dishnetwork without having any installers coming over meaning over the border in canada those can susbscribe to dishnet like me. I'm glad voom went bankrupt for this to happen. Second I think its...

in other words when they flip the switch on may 1st and everyone will scramble in here to write and vex their concerns, after people stop vexxing and move on then this forum will be gone?

actually what is the warranty of these boxes 1 year? So technicallly they should offer 1 year service so they can also fullfil the warranty as well. What happens to those who bought boxes months before the shutdown are they still covered under warranty?

oh geez you could get those channels on dishnet minus starz/cinemax/tmc/universal.

this is ridiculous if they knew they were going to switch to mp4 they shouldn't brought out the 942 receiver and still selling the 811/921's. Still its a smart move in a sense that he'll probably not move the standard definition channels to mp4 since theres just too many receivers out there to...

you could get the 942 model it has 3 tuners in 1, HD you can use, there's a second output for your friend and both can use the tuner or hard disk to view programming as for the ota stuff only can see it on the hd tv. BTW whats the deal with the 922 you can get one free if you sub for a year?

Voom to revert back the way they first started that is offering the channels free and in the clear again. This maybe possible if they plan on marketing the voom 21 exclusives, they'd need to use transponder space somewhere that would be an awesome thing to do get rid of voom but leave the 21...

maybe they'll revert back the way they first started and that is offer the channels in the clear again (free) the voom21 exclusives while they try marketing it to cable co's. that would be a nice thing to do and I'd probably buy a voom receiver off ebay to see them.

You know what doesn't make sense, the transponders, doesn't charles dolan own the transponders or should I say Voom? They could stop taking orders but still keep the satellites up and running for awhile since they plan to have voom 21 exclusives on cable co's and other satellite providers...

it boils down to what charles is going to do with the transponders on 61.5, if it goes to dishnet it would be nice if he offered the voom exclusives and dishnet would carry the torch so to speak and then migrate everyont to dishnet, it has been done with international channels that were on...

you know if charles dolan was smart, he'd sell the 61.5 transponder lots on condition dishnet carries his hd channels, this way dishnet can migrate everyone to their system this way. it has happened in the past where there were some international channels on the regular fta kuband receivers...

dishnetwork did do something i remember when there were some international channels on the kuband satellites, they couldn't get enough members so they removed them but before they removed them they sent memo to those who want those same channels to get them on dishnetwork. So maybe just maybe...

I have a feeling though some big conglomerate company is going to buy voom's bankrupcy assets and if that is the case maybe just maybe the policy will change on the self-installs which will allow canadians to subscribe if they got a u.s address. Really in Canada if there is 10mil directv...

its too bad voom is shutting down but at the same time i don't care since voom made it so hard for canadians to subscribe because of the no self-install policy. I hope though the channels voom has atleast some will migrate to another provider ie echostar can be a likely canditate they have...

vooms on ebay can be transfered? just wondering if you can pay a $125 fee to transfer, can the same be done if you buy a used voom unit from ebay and have it transfered to a different name and address?

Has anyone here been able to pickup the receiver/dish and install the dish themselves? If this was the case then one could subscribe from canada, just wondering has voom became less strict recently or do the same silly rules apply their own installer has to come to install the system? And the...

you know what is funny by voom doing this they have devalued their equipment, so the only way a person is going to get his receiver activated is through pirating means so in other words voom is giving the pirate the opportunity to buy cheap equipment which is pathetic, if they had let people...

its stupid to say that if one is buying a used voom receiver they are pirating it, the person still has to call up and subscribe a pirate person wouldn't need to even call in they activate it themselves. still if you buy a piece of a equipment you should have the right to sell it, voom is...

there is i will give one in nyc you can get a nyc phone# free at stanaphone.com only problem if you forward the # to voom it shows funny numbers on the ani but i dunno if you can hookup a data/fax via the internet through that phone# because of the bandwidth being low or only for voice only.

you can get voip easily even free ones if you search the internet, the most annoying thing is the installation thing voom wants to charge $250 for the installation and won't let you self install they even state it in the $200 discount offer that half the price of the receiver is really the...

if there is a startup kit that means you don't need to call for an installer anymore one can have all that is needed to self-install the dish. has anyone bought this kit and not have to get a installer at your house?

voom should scrap the mandatory installs and provide self installs, this way we save the $200 they save the $200 from having to pay installs inc.

you mean you just told them not to send anyone out to install it at the new location? i wonder if you can still do that now?
