    Does Voom have hacks like Direct Tv did??

    I am not a hacker at all, never did ( Atleast not with sat. :) ) I know many of my friends have had the chip/card and junk with Direct TV So just curious if Voom was smart enough to not let this happen, as it seems Direct Tv has smartened up with having the cards built in now.

    People with problems with VOOM!

    Just curious, do you think its a Voom problem or a location problem ( Which is kinda voom's fault too ) The reason I ask is because I have not really had any problems at all yet, I was told I am in a near perfect location, maybe that is why? Do you think its the hardware that gives...

    Eventually Voom will have to be FREE!!

    And what I mean is free installation, and a normal monthly charge per month.. The competetion is too strong for them to stay alive.. I only* ordered because it was free and 10.00 a month for the box. Now they are charging 200.00 per box, and whatever else for a second box.. A normal hosue...

    Does the ant. need to be angled a certain way??

    I know the dish needs to face a certain way, but when the installer installs the ant. can he just hook it up to the side of my house? Or does he need to face it a certain way? Or do I go out and do it, while someone stays inside to tell me if the picture gets better or worse :confused...

    Does the sat. and ant. need ot be close to each other?

    Can I just have the installer put the sat. in the back ( where is going to probably need to be anyway ) and then the ant. just on the side of the house?? The reason I ask is if the ant. and sat. need to be next to each other, it might be tough for him to run two seperate lines, as its gonna...
