Liberty Says DirecTV Deal Possible Los Angeles TimesOctober 13, 2006 Liberty Media Corp. confirmed Thursday that it might swap its stake in News Corp. for a controlling interest in DirecTV Group Inc., a move that would thrust cable pioneer John Malone into the satellite television...

Western PA here. Free 3 Meter C/KU dish with FEED for the taking. It is located on my roof. You will need two people and a ladder to get it. Write me back if interested. It is all metal perforated and in perfect round. Actuator included. I am disabled now so I can't help in bringin it down...

Yesterday. I lost 110 which has my locals. I have a superdish and a dish for 61.5. All other channels are there. Called dish and tech thought it could be the LNB or the connection to that LNB. Theya re coming out on Thursday to repair. Does this seem to happen often? I had a C-Band dish for...

I now have my 622 and I have yet to catch one HD program on ESPN2HD. I must be hitting it wrong. Why have two HD channels when they can't fill them with HD material. I understand that production facilities are limtited now but growing. But why put a 2nd channel up when you can't fill the first?

I came home and saw that UPS had left a big box. I said "Oh Boy" my 622 has arrived:) It just took a half a second to pick it up and realize it was the empty box to return my 942.:( Oh well they did warn me that I would get the empy box first. I wished too hard.

I called about 10:30 EST to upgrade my 942 (lease) to a 622 (lease). I called the special number that Scott posted a few days ago for forum members. It worked well and they were knowledgeable. I could tell the CSR was a bit nervous as he literally fumbled thru the screens he had to read. The...

I agree that we shouldn't junk up the pure question and answer thread with our continuing comments about what Mr. Cuban says. However, there should be somewhere we can express our opinion either in agreement or not. For example on the HDLITE issue, I still have his opening comments on DVR at...

Not that it will change their mind but I wrote my long email to dish quality (DishQuality@echostar.com ) regarding the continued plan for HDLITE and the MPEG4 but really MPEG2 magic show we learned about in the last few days. It is time to flood the email channels at DISH ....NOW!:hungry:

Come and get it. A 3 Meter C-band solid perforated dish (not mesh) and a GI 4dtv receiver. One word of warning, the dish is located on the roof of my house in Erie, PA and will need some work to remove. This also includes both the C-band and KU feed. If you are interested in the 4DTV alone, I...

Since I am a pub member, why am I being locked out of posting to the classifieds section?

I got this error code which also said that the hard disk crashed and was fatal. Just watch for it. DISH is sending a new replacement. Scott said that he had not heard or scene this code before but it cleaerly shows up everytime I turn on the 942. Still can view and change programming. Just can't...

Monday could be a big day at the Vatican and and Cablevision as the leaders of both make decisions. Does anyone think that anything new regarding VOOM programming on other distributers will emerge? Will C. Dolan be elected Pope? ;)

For those that care.... VOOM's old PQ is back and it stunning. (at least for 3 more weeks) Sharp, vibrant and detailed. Seemed to happen the same day as the announcement, but very noticeable to this PQ critic. I am just going to enjoy it while it lasts. :yes

This morning. all the SD channels have black on the left side and top. I had this problem on DVI with I first got VOOM. Changed to Component and it was ok. about 6 weeks ago I changed back to DVI and was suprised to see that the old problem wasn't there anymore. It filled the screen nicely. Now...

This large storm system in the North East caused me to loose all channels this afternoon. Anyone else have a similar problem? Other more local storms have always retained a signal. Guess it is just more atmosphere problems south of me. I am in Western PA.

This was posted in another thread but I thought it should deserve its own and a sticky. Everyone who filed with the FCC should also put their name on this. ATTENTION VOOM SUBSCRIBERS AND SUPPORTERS OF DBS COMPETITION: On March 28th, The Association of Consumers to Preserve and Promote...

If it follows correctly, there is probably a Monday board meeting and we might get some kind of annoucement at the end of the day. I sort of agree with an earlier post that we might be faced with an extenion of the current agreement to give Chuck and Tom more time. Which is till ok as long as...

What is your opinion of the current VOOM picture quality since the new encoders went on line?

Sean or Scott...should we expect a press announcement on Monday that a final deal has been signed or whatever the next stage is?

Take a look at this story. http://www.onthesnow.com/news/california/021105-13677.html The board may have said don't spend money but somebody gave the OK to produce more PIGS for airing next fall. Long time planning or just giving the bird to the board? (don't take me seriously on this...just...

I know this has been discussed before but I forget what the reason was. Why does TNT still have dropouts to black and now to a green screen for a split second? ONly channel it happens on so I feel it must be TNTHD and not VOOM. Am I right?

I found this thread and thought it was very interesting and the comments from PBS about HD production. I am sure that all channels have this problem and that is why HD programming is slower to develop. I sounds almost the same story we hear about VOOM. Makes you stop and think...

I have not been always complimentary to VOOM when it comes to picture quality issues but I have to tip my production hat to there self promos. As a TV producer, they really put in a lot of production value and effort to attract the 30,000 subscribers to view their offerings. It should not be...

I have been a member of this forum since just before I subscribed to Voom. I have yet to see a single post from a woman. No offense guys but this forum has an over abundance of testosterone in it and no release. I realize that these tech issues are usually dominated by guys but it would be...

This is less of a PQ complaint than an observation. The convention coverage color looks very saturated compared to the other VOOM channels. Everyone looks as red as an apple instead of just being in the Big Apple. It is not a big problem as I just turn down the color. I have to turn it down by...
