    Blue Sky Satellite Installers for Dish Network - Watch out!!

    All this installer had to do was tell me he didn't know what I was explaining or tell me he didn't have those kind of clips. I would have just let him run the cable and I would have hid it myself. Instead he said "OK" after I explained in detail how I wanted it done. Lessoned learned for me and...

    Blue Sky Satellite Installers for Dish Network - Watch out!!

    Heads up on Blue Sky Dish Network installers. Despite explicit instructions on how to hide the cable, these guys ruined $400.00 worth of vinyl siding by screwing the cable clamps right into the side of my house.

    [VOOM] Ocasional Black Outs

    VOOM questions/STB

    The drop outs are instantaneous picture/sound lasting ~1/2 to 2 seconds (not long enough to check the PG or info screen). All digital connections A/V. I have video on Component as well as DVI...both connections have the A/V dropouts. I called VOOM tech and they are sending out a new STB.

    VOOM questions/STB

    I have had VOOM now for several months. After the most recent s/w upgrade I have been having numerous problems. Audio drop outs are driving my wife and I nuts. There seems to be a lot more video breakup too(macro blocking and pixelization). These problems are more frequent on the HD channels...

    The 4DTV UHF remote works with the VOOM STB. I bought mine at auction online at e***. The Voom STB has the UHF antenna jack on the back and it's operational. The 4DTV remote worked right out of the box with Voom.
