when you suspend D* service (vacation/seasonal) using their automated phone system, does it take effect immediately or when the next billing cycle starts? thanx

the HR10-250 has been nagging me about not being able to make a call (b/c the phone line isn't plugged in), but as far as I can tell, it's been downloading program guide data from the satellite just fine. So do I actually need to plug in a phone line at some point? There's no jack near the TV...

I just got an hdtivo. I still have a SD standalone tivo, which I still need to use b/c I have a bunch of stuff recorded on it. They're hooked up to the same tv. Problem is, BOTH tivos respond to EITHER remote -- chaos ensues. the standalone tivo has a DVR 1 2 switch. I've tried putting it...

so I got my hdtivo finally. hit record and a msg came up. "you must activate dvr service...." I called and they told me $4.95 a month. you've gotta be kidding! is there a package that INCLUDES dvr service? maybe I should just get THAT.

With Voom dead, I decided to hook my D* gear (unused for one year) back. I have 3LNB oval dish and Hughes E86 recvr. The recvr won't download guide data. I go into system test / line test and got this: Sat A: zero across the board. Sat B: NA and zero across the board. Sat C: 100 on #8...

if voom is not going to collect the receivers they they should enable OTA permanently, i.e., no satellite or authorization needed for OTA reception. it's the least they could do for their customers. Sean pls pass this to TPTB

flipping around and saw a naked girl and a guy on a couch and she's playing w/ his ----. holy cow I checked the guide and yup it's playboyhd. I have vavavoom I don't know if that matters or not. thanks voom! may this last as long as the starz "preview"...

when I first moved from D* to V*, first thing that I noticed was the SD channels looked a quite a bit better (aside from some weird artifacts on some channels). HD was harder to tell, since the content wasn't the same. But now the new recently added SD channels aren't looking good at all...

or does DiscoveryHD looks REALLY good on Voom today? I mean this is the best I've seen it looks. or maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic now that the end is near.

My cable co. here in SoCal is Adelphia, which blows. They have SHO, HBO, and ESPN. That is it. And of course you have to pay extra for each. Ridiculous. CSR says more channels -- discovery and "hd something" (hdnet, inhd, what? hello?) -- will come Q1. Be still my heart! BUT, they have...

Has anyone successfully hooked a Voom box to a LCD monitor via DVI, like the Apple Cinema HD? Or is it different kind of DVI?

http://slate.msn.com/id/2110065/fr/rss/ He got one detail wrong: the current deal doesn't require a $200 up front fee. I'd leave a feedback but I don't want to deal with the MS passport grabage.

Got 7.26(?) a few days ago and so far this has happened 3x already. Symptom: when I change channel, channel won't change. I see the banner comes up and shows the channel I'm switching to, but the actual video stays the same. Worse, the audio goes dead. Solution: Have to reboot to get back to...

I would reset the box except last time I did that it took like 30 hrs (I kid you not) for the guide to populate.

Voom have a pattern of making promises and pre-announcements they can't follow through. 1) they put InHD on their website though no deal had been finalized yet. InHD balked b/c Voom promised X number of subs, which it couldn't deliver. 2) DVR was supposed to arrive late summer, then...

Hi I have a series2 tivo (standalone). I can record voom channels just fine. Problem is I can't record the ota digital channels (I know it won't be in HD, but at least I'd like to be able to record widescreen). tivo just doesn't know about them. It only knows and records the analog...

Called Voom about rain fade. They scheduled a service call to give me new dish. Then they rescheduled it because they needed time to send the dish out. Ok. So today installer showed up. I asked "where's the dish?" He said "dish what dish? they didn't tell me about any dish". argghhh.

Am I alone? See, I'm easy. I'll watch anything with the right eye candy. God help me, I'm even watching Full Frontal Fashion, so desperate am I to look at chicks (who would be quite hot if they weren't so anorexic). Where's my Bikini HD?

sure there are lots of repeats on all movie channels, but I haven't seen a new one on monster for weeks. what's up?

This is one of the best psychological thrillers EVER, the kind Hitchcock would be proud to have made. Most so called psychological thrillers just end with somebody chasing after somebody with a pick ax. This one ends with someone stealing a cigarette case! If you've never seen it, you're in...

Specifically, I like the tactile feel of the buttons. Most remote have tiny round or oblong buttons that are also hard and/or sticky to press. Voom's buttons are just the right size for me and feel right when I press them. One of these days, I'm going to get one of those fancy programmables...

has D* started moving channels off the main sats? has this improved the PQ on HD channels? does anyone know what bitrate D* is giving their HD channels these days? thanks

So far, my votes go to Inge de Bruijn (sp?) (Netherlands), esp. with her cap off and hair down, and Coughlin (U.S.), both in swimming (coincidence?). Toss in your 2c.

Well, this isn't as bad as the folks who got billed for thousands, but it still bites. I got my bill today, and they billed me for vavavoom, which I haven't had in over a month. I called. They said I'd called right on the 15th to change from vavavoom to basic voom, and they'd already charged...

one thing i like about the voom box is it'll jump to the next higher channel if you punch in a non existing number. so you can go to 100 by punching in 99 (much easier, if you, like me, do it by feel w/o looking at the remote). 111 for monster instead of 121, 444 to go to the 500, and...
