    VOOM STB FAQ (Motorola DSR-550): Post-VOOM Edition

    Okay, here's an update. The problem DOES seem to be the TV. When the TV is left off, I can switch to 1080i (I can't see the picture, but the top line lights up when I hit the red button). The moment I turn on the TV, the bottom line on the Voom box lights up and I'm in 480i and cannot switch...

    VOOM STB FAQ (Motorola DSR-550): Post-VOOM Edition

    Help! Voom Box won't do 1080i Hi folks! PLEASE help me with this bizarre issue. I have been using the Voom box for OTA without any problems over the last few years. Recently, I bought a new receiver, the Onkyo TX-SR705 with three HDMI 1.3 inputs. So, i rewired my whole system so that I...

    Can I plug DirecTV receiver into E* Dish?

    Hi! I have E* with a Dish 500 and a single dish pointed at 61.8. Can I simply plug a DirecTV receiver into this set up and subscribe to DirecTV programming? Or will I have to install new dishes? That is, is a DirecTV receiver compatible with the E* dishes and LNBs? I can always realign...

    Transition deal from Dish 6000? Pl. help

    Thanks, Scott. This clears it up. One remaining question - I thought if you subscribed to the HD pack, they waived the $6 lease fee. Am I reading that wrong? -RV

    Transition deal from Dish 6000? Pl. help

    Aaargggh. I guess I'll hold on to the 6000 until they move ALL the HD to Mpeg4. Let's say I decided to pay $49 and upgrade to the 211. Then, the absolute bare minimum I would have to pay is $30 + $6? And the $30 is just for the HD channels I am getting now (plus UHD and ESPN2HD)? Why...

    Transition deal from Dish 6000? Pl. help

    So, you are saying that if I want to upgrade to a newer receiver, I CANNOT keep HD channels only (without AT anything)? The only way I can keep my E* bill to $22 is to stay with my current receiver?

    Transition deal from Dish 6000? Pl. help

    Okay, I first promise that I did a few searches to see if the answer to this was already posted. I read through Scott's post on the NEW Dish Network info, but was unable to find the answer to these questions: 1. I have a Dish 6000u receiver (OWNED) and am wondering what the best deal is to...

    HDTVTAX.COM - What next

    Frankly, I really don't see how you CAN'T continue the fight. The reason for the protest was the principle of adding a new surcharge just for receiving HD games. They have not, obviously, budged on the tax. Think of it this way. If DirecTV had STARTED this whole thing by announcing a $49...

    More Good News from VOOM

    Surely you do realize that the image is the result of some excellent photoshopping by subdude. If you look at the picture closely, you can see that the message is a "fake" that was added to the Voom background (notice how the text is significantly sharper at the edges than the other Voom...

    Getting new software V726, are you?

    Got 726 only yesterday and the CallerID does not work for me. I have the phone line plugged in and CallerID works on all my other phones. I can't get it to display *anything* on my screen (small font or not). Does the CallerID work on the DVI out? I turned the callerid on and hit the green...

    Elvis Presley on Divine-HD?

    Hi folks! As an Elvis fan, I was absolutely ecstatic to see Elvis' CHARRO on Divine-HD last week. I thought Divine-HD was the "Gay & Lesbian" channel. Right? What was a hard-core Western like CHARRO doing on Divine-HD instead of the Western channel? Anyone have an explanation for this...

    TNT-HD blinks

    I get black blinks all the time on all the channels. Very annoying. I also get sound burps, but they happen completely independently of the channel blinks.

    [VOOM] Ocasional Black Outs

    Yes, I have been having this problem for a while. Even more annoying is occasional sound hiccups. Makes it unwatchable at times. I wish they'd resolve this issue. Sony KP65WS510 RPTV with DVI.

    Bubba Ho-Tep to premiere on Monster HD on 10/30 at 9:30pm EDT

    Okay, so is this a joke? It DOES NOT show up on the schedule for MONSTER at all. I checked the schedule for today, tomorrow and day after. If this is incorrect information (which it apprently is), I suggest this thread be deleted to avoid misleading the people who read the thread title in...

    Olympics Closing Ceremonies in HD? Plans?

    So it is done???? The only way to see the closing ceremonies are to have woken up at 3 AM? I mistakenly read it as 3 PM and was planning on going home early to see it. No repeats? This has to be the most ridiculous HD coverage of a major event on earth!

    Olympics Closing Ceremonies in HD? Plans?

    Really? I was under the (obviously mistaken) impression that if I had been "authorized" to get the Olympics Channel on Voom, I would have been able to see the HD events live. Then why even have the Olympics HD channel in O&O markets? What is the advantage of that over OTA? :confused:

    Olympics Closing Ceremonies in HD? Plans?

    Maybe, but like a lot of people on this list, I do not get the wonderful "Olympics channel" and am stuck getting it OTA. The OTA HD schedule is quite different from the "Olympics Channel" HD schedule, right? I tried reading through the other thread, but still don't understand why NBC elected...

    Voom Sound Hiccups [Help!]

    Yes, the incredibly annoying scratchy sound was on Equator HD yesterday. I am talking about the sound *disappearing* for a split second (like an "audio breakup") that happened on World Cinema (while watching the *OUTSTANDING* "Salaam Bombay!") and then again this morning on "The Jungle Book" on...

    Olympics Closing Ceremonies in HD? Plans?

    Having been completely disgusted with NBC for their HD coverage of the Olympics (only able to see on-day-delay on local NBC-DT), I was wondering what the HD plans are for the closing ceremonies. Will this be shown live in HD? Or will it also be one a one-day delay on my local OTA digital...

    Voom Sound Hiccups [Help!]

    For the last couple of days, I have been noticing these extremely annoying sound hiccups on multiple channels. Basically, every few minutes, the sound disappears for a split second (like a "hiccup"). Anyone else notice this? I thought this was fixed by the 6.1 upgrade.

    Sound & Video Breakups NOW??

    Hello folks! On almost all the premium channels (HBOHD, MAXHD, STARZHD) I am getting sound breakup, image breakup and blank screen every 15 seconds or so rendering the content in all these channels unwatchable (I tried Secondhand Lions, About a Boy, and Analyze That and they all had the...
