...lie the bones of countless millions who, at the dawn of victory, sat down to rest, and resting, died; And lo, amongst all the bones, not one backbone was to be found." That’s the beginning of a poem I learned back in the ancient days of my youth. It made a significant impact on me then...

...I don't think so. Having been unwillingly MIA for the better part of a week, I'm going to go way out on a limb, but I've "lurked" primarily as often as I could. It looks like the end (of this era) may be at hand :no , but as Salsadancer noted in another thread, it just really doesn't...

Sorry All...But Now I'm Really Pissed... ...I know, I know...LIKE I wasn't ALREADY...! However, I just discovered what is an apparent anomoly in the system...it looks to me like if you are not actually on line at the time a PM is sent to you, when you do go back on line, a PM sent to you...

...to the forum I post in.... but just couldn't pass this by. While trying to assure myself I had reviewed all pertinent VoOm posts today before I cashed it in for the night...I accidentally clicked on "All posts for the site" instead of "All VoOm posts", and this one caught my...

If this has already been posted, please excuse, but I got an e-mail yesterday that states their current offer keeps getting better, 3 room install for $1, with the 2 months of VaVaVoom, 1 one-year sub to Sound & Vision mag, with a valididity date through APRIL 30, 2005. :) I'll take that to be...

I'd like to harness everybody's wish lists in one convenient place and post a poll on channel requests. There has already been considerable discussion in this thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=56534, regarding what "woulda, coulda', shoulda'" been added in the way of new...

An Open Letter to an Unnamed Troll... I usually try to temper my criticism with humor, but I’ve had enough, and the gloves are off. Most people on this forum have given you the benefit of the doubt at one time or another since January…and tried to reason and debate your statements. The...

Too much info just strains my brain... :( Following some very helpful links that elocs posted in the Help Desk forum, I found myself in a state of confusion. :o I'm trying to figure out exactly what my next installer will need to know and do to get it right the first time. Here's how I got...

@party http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=47047 Great news!! :D I don't normally go to that forum, but I'm sure glad I did today! :D :cool: Ilya was a staunch source of support for me when I first subscribed to VOOM. He read my posts closely; evaulated my lack of...

SactoCal, I posted here so we won't take the previous thread further off topic. I hope your upgrade is a complete success and you won't need any more antenna research after this...but if you do, you can also look here for other Sacto area folks...

...but I've noticed that the numbers of people viewing the various satellite specific forums have pretty consisistently been: VOOM and Dish--pretty even--with DirecTV about half of VOOM and Dish. I got curious about how those numbers were distributed, i.e., members/guests, and what the top...

Earlier today I was scouring the forums looking for good news, and noticed that the dreaded “Thread Virus” had struck in nearly every thread on every VOOM forum I wanted to read. In between every other post on every forum...the same one-note samba...incoherent, off-topic, manic!! Over and over...

I was a subscriber from May 2004 until the end of October, but they just couldn’t get my OTA coming in reliably. Basic service with my cable company is a whopping $46!! I can’t afford $65 for VOOM and $46 for locals. After several installation fiascoes and shelling out $150 for repairs to my...

Got the download of new software on my bedroom set Monday night, and on my family room HDTV set last night. Bedroom set is small, old, and impossible to read menus, so haven’t played with it hardly at all. Now that I’ve got the new stuff on a set where I could actually read the menus, I’ve...

On the download from last night on my HDTV set, apparently I got the transparent menu, but I’ve accidentally discovered a couple of things: 1. When I used the red, surf next button while on 6.1, it jumped directly to 100, but was still transparent. 2. When I used the channel up from 58.1...

...but I'll certainly appreciate help from anyone who has it to give!!! :D I currently have a Stealth antenna which does pull in all the local stations that I can receive (below) except two I'm not yet mapped for. That information comes from antennaweb.com. The picture on most of my...

:o If you've seen this thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=23191 and are interested in the current status of my findings, the bottom line is that I still have that WOW factor on most channels, and am continuing to monitor daily to try to nail down where it came from! :) :D...

Much earlier (starting around 9AM) I started trying to pull all my symptoms together and get them in some sort of format to try to spot the anomolies, in an effort to pinpoint the type of OTA upgrade I need. I have put together an Excel spreadsheet which I will post later with all the...

I have suddenly lost all my locals. :( Is anyone else having this problem? Had them about 6PM, but nada now. Satellite channels all seem fine. Vicki

Cancelled Subscribers Survey--Heartening News?? Just got off the phone (for the 2nd time in about a week) for a TV subscriber survey—sponsored by Voom. Since I had cancelled my original order last April (due to failure of the installer to show or call), and nearly cancelled again after a bad...

Has anyone else lost KCRA Channel 3 in the Sacramento area? This morning it had only sound, no picture--and now I don't even get sound. The little green satellite is on (2 different STBs), but just a black screen. I have never gotten 3-2, but the satellite does go red when I try to tune...

John Wruck, with Installs, Inc. really goes the extra mile to try to make things right! :D :D :D On 6/8, after Wilt escalated my work order to him, John called me, told me Crave Electronics would make my service call (installation originally botched by an independent contractor). John gave...

Got installed with 2 STBs on 6/1, and the installation was not a particularly happy affair—the independent contractor for Installs, Inc. had a real attitude, did not leave the DVI cable for the 2nd box, didn’t run separate lines for the OTA, charged me $45 because he had to go into the attic...

Got 2 STBs installed yesterday. The STB on my Mitsubishi WS48513 does not receive any of the Cinema channels. However, the analog set STB does receive all the Cinema channels (and did from the start). My Mitsubishi STB displays a blue screen (sometimes with sound) and a message to "Check...
