    Dish/Receiver cost vs. Cable

    I cancelled Voom shortly after I got it. Not because of the cost, but because of content. The 21 exclusive HD channels are very weak. They're certainly not enough for me to give up some of the benefits of my local cable provider. Still waiting for them to uninstall the stuff. 3 weeks and...

    Possible San Diego Voomer

    I think I'm going to jump off the Voom bandwagon. Their 21 channels of Original HD programming doesn't impress me. There really is nothing compelling to keep me on. I can get everything else like HDnet and InHD from Time Warner Cable.

    I didn't subscribe to the Va-Va-Voom package, so the value that I get from the 37 HD channels is fairly low. I would say that I can watch about 5 of them. The others, as listed above, seem to be available just to increase the number of HD channels available. On the plus side, you can always...

    I've been Vooming for about two days now. I guess I was expecting a little more. Here are some of my issues: MOOV - What is the purpose of the MOOV channel? It seems like its nothing more than a screensaver. Cinemas - Not impressed. All of the content seems old, low-rated and grainy...

    Possible San Diego Voomer

    Not sure if he used the diplexer. I think he did. Can I tell from behind the STB? I got the installer to pull 3 coax and 1 cat5 cable. The extra coax and cat5 will be for DVR. Hopefully it will be enough. He made a large enough hole to pull more coax if needed. He charged $45 for an...

    Dish/Receiver cost vs. Cable

    Got Voom installed with a $45 extra fee. He almost got 3 coax cables and a cat5 up the wall using the current cable, but then hit a snag. He had to drill a larger hole, hence the charge. Now my signal went from 52 to about 13. Not sure what the problem is. Poor guy has been here for 3...

    Dish/Receiver cost vs. Cable

    Installer is here. He's charging $45/hr for pulling extra cable. Should I have him pull cat5 also? I'm going to need it for DVR to the other boxes, right?

    Dish/Receiver cost vs. Cable

    Yes, I have DVR and HD on my main TV, and just a cable line to the other two cable-ready TV's. So, the cable box rental fee's only apply to for the one TV at the price listed above. For me, the advantage of going to VoOm is gaining all the HD channels. I currently have only 2. Other than...

    Dish/Receiver cost vs. Cable

    I apologize if this has been discussed before. I just read the complete offer details for my VoOm promotion. It says that I have to pay for a receiver for each TV that I have and also a $5 per TV charge. I currently have cable and it feeds all three of my TV's for one price. In order to...

    Possible San Diego Voomer

    I'm concerned about this diplexer. My install is 5/19. I'm definitely going to get DVR when it comes out so I can ditch the cable box. Should I ask the installer to run 4 coax lines? Also, how do you get OTA from two different directions?

    How does your OTA install look?

    OTA Direction? According to antennaweb.org, I have OTA stations two different directions from me. How do they point the antenna to get the best of both?
