    Need help with Dual HD-DVR Multi Room Setup

    Hi, I'm a long time Dish Network customer who just signed up with DirecTV. I haven't ever really done much posting over in this forum, as I've usually posted on the Dish side of the forums. Anyway, I'm having some issues with my new install, and neither the local install tech nor DirecTV...

    622/722 Remote Question

    Don't shoot me if this has been discussed elsewhere, I wasn't having any luck with this specific question with the search feature. I'm having Dish installed again next Friday. I'm getting a 722 put in. My plan is to hook the HDMI up to our main TV upstairs and then run component down to my...

    Help with new Dish Install

    Hey everyone. I'm a long time reader of SatelliteGuys and a former VOOM subscriber who's currently fed up with Mediacom. It's looking more and more like Dish Network is who I want to choose for my TV provider. We had Dish years ago before we switched over to VOOM. I plan on signing up this...

    Coming back to Dish... Help me answer a few questions.

    I'm thinking about coming back to Dish Network since my local cable company really can't seem to figure out HD at all. I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to do this. I know I'll be getting the VIP622 for my HD Projector in the Home Theater. That's where we do all of our HD...

    Dropping Voom and Billing Problems

    Can anyone tell me if there are any steps I can take to protect myself from ongoing monthly charges if/when I decide to cancel VOOM service. I'm really being pushed pretty close to dropping them. My local Mediacom provides just about everything I could want for nearly the same price as Voom...

    Officially Going Crazy

    Can we please hear some info from VOOM on something? This is getting ridiculous. DVR, WM9, new Dish, RSN's....something?? How are we supposed to have continued confidence in VOOM if they've gone completely silent on everything? Are they just not allowed to talk because of the spin-off?

    OTA Reception Question

    Ok, if someone could answer this, I'd love it. My local PBS station is broadcasting in HD. When I do the channel scan, I lock onto it with a 99 Signal Strength. However, when I go to tune it in, VOOM says no signal is being received. It's strange considering I lock in the SD subchannel just...

    DVR Update?

    Is there any new info concerning the crossover to WM9 and the subsequent release of the DVR? The new software is great, but I'm getting really tired of setting up manual timers every night to record my wife's soaps on the VCR. I need the DVR, and I'm willing to pay for it.

    NBA Draft has me hyped for coming season....but

    I'm becoming increasingly worried that there is about a snowball's chance in hell of me being able to see any NBA games outside of TNT and ESPN on VOOM this coming season (let alone all of my Bulls games). I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but has anyone heard any new rumors about RSN's...

    Referral Program?

    Does Voom offer any kind of referral program like Club Dish? I've already gotten one person to sign up, and I'm pretty confindent I can get a few more people to sign up for VOOM. It would be nice if I was getting some credit for all the "work" I've put in. :D

    Woo Hoo!! Getting all my locals now.

    Well, I finally had a superb service call from a man named Steve who works for Adant Wireless. He managed to bring in all of my local channels. He sat up on my roof with a compas and a walkie talkie for close to an hour tweaking the antenna until that glorious moment when finally, I was...

    Help with OTA Please

    Okay, I just had a rather frusturating call with the installers that will be coming out in two weeks to try and fix my OTA. They basically called to try and get out of having to come out and work on it at all. He said that he had his map out and it didn't matter what way they point the...

    Purple Screen, Two Orange Lights

    Hey, I think my box got the software updates last night after the install, but when I turn my TV on there is just a blank purple screen, and there are two orange Lights present on the face panel of the box. What's this all about?

    My Install

    Ok, my installer finally showed up like 2.5 hours late today. The first thing he says to me is "Don't count on getting any locals". Anyway, he installs everything including the antenna (even though he didn't have a compass with him). To my surprise, as he's getting ready to leave a few of my...

    Vooming in Central Illinois (Peoria/Bloomington Area)

    I'm installing on May 7th. Anyone else installed VOOM in this area? I'm curious about OTA reception.

    Charged Twice for HBO for 2 receivers??

    I was told by the CSR that I would be charged the HBO price twice. Once for each receiver in my house. Is that correct?

    Sports on Voom?

    Okay, I think I'm finally ready to make the jump to VOOM, but I'm having a hard time finding any information at all on Sports Programming or future sports programming. I desperately want HD Content for my TV, and I'm convinced that VOOM is the best place to go to get it. The current deals are...
