I browsed my DVR titles today and discovered a gem that they pushed out. It is titled ".99 cent Movies on Dish!" When I played the recording, the details are that the movies cost 100 times that amount to rent, or 99 cents. When will people stop writing .99 cents when they mean 99 cents...

I have the 622 DVR box hooked up to two 500 dishes pointed at 110, 119 and 129. I also have a high quality Winegard antenna hooked up for the local digital channels. Post DIGITAL CONVERSION, there are now over 80 digital locals available in the greater Los Angeles area just on top of Mt Wilson...

Now that HD televisions are very affordable, I have replaced my old CRT televisions in the bedrooms with 26 inch HDTV flat panels. Of course, with my 622 DVR and 625 DVR I only have ONE HD signal available in the house. What is Dish doing for people that have transitioned to today's...

I was considering getting the TiVo HD XL DVR to replace my current service from Dish Network with just over the air digital. I stumbled upon their comparison chart where they attempt to prove that their equipment is better than other hardware available...

I am excited to see that I have 114 HD channels available. Yes, count them, 114! Here is the proof: This image is available on the Dish Network website in the What's New section. When you click the picture, it takes you to the TurboHD pages, which has a hover-over on the biggest...

Okay, another in-law wants to know which way to go. She has 3 HD televisions in her house and 4 standard def televisions. She wants to know whether to order Dish or Direct. She is fed up with Time Warner cable. I've heard that Dish has a 4 tuner limit, but Direct requires 2 cable runs to...

I recommended Dish to my brother-in-law. I told him which boxes he would need for his 5 room setup. He wanted 2 DVR's and a stand-alone. He only has one HDTV in his house. I had him call Dish directly and order the equipment and schedule an install date. I gave him a referral code so he got...

I have a weird problem with my 942 this evening. I have a Dish PASS at the highest priority set for the program LOST, channel 007_01 ABC from Los Angeles OTA. Tonight's episode of Lost is titled "?" and no matter what I do, the box will NOT record the episode. The schedule triggered, but the...

I have a Dish 942 and a Dish 625. I have created a whole house network with the 3 SD RF outputs available to me. I just have a question about what kind of signal combiner that I could use to improve the signal quality. Here's what I did: On the back of the 625 I took TV1 out (channel 3)...

I just got my latest online bill from Voom. I have 1 STB and the Va Va Voom package. Here is the bill: Outstanding Balance Outstanding Balance $0.00 NEW CHARGES Other Services FRANCH FEE EQUIP/SMT/REM $0.79 01/15 - 02/14/05 Cable Favorite $0.00 01/15 -...

I am having extreme difficulty trying to log in to the Voom website to check the status of my account. Am I having personal problems, or is the Voom website borked?

My wife had finally had "enough" of Voom and on Sunday insisted that I disconnect our Voom service. She didn't see what the big deal was about this Voom thing and the old cable was good enough. I accommodated her request and disconnected the Voom STB and packaged everything, ready for...

Would you want the LED turned on? Would you want Voom to turn on the LED display on the front of the STB? Please be aware that in Voom's user testing, some objected to how bright the LED display was. This is a rewording of the poll that jimmykce1 started here...

I've seen two of Nigel Cook's short films shown during the intermission segments on the Cinema channels and even the Voom 999 channel. I think that they are funny and well-produced. I would like to see more of them, but Voom needs to be careful to not over-use them. Make more and put more of...

Since I've gotten version 7.26 I noticed this new program "feature." Now, if the box locks up and I need to do a reboot the box loses my OTA channel blocking list. It re-enables all OTA channels that were found during the last OTA channel scan. A reboot also resets the Caller ID preference...

They made a press release today. http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20041122005901&newsLang=en VOOM Satellite Service to Dramatically Increase Channel Capacity BETHPAGE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 22, 2004--Rainbow Media Enterprises, a...

Right now I am watching the Eye Over Italy on channel 341, which should be Fox Sports Net, Florida HD. It is the same video as channel 122 Equator HD, but the sound feed is slightly different. Only stereo instead of 5.1. Is this a problem with my STB or do you think Voom is experimenting...

I've noticed that Voom's newsletter has a "Ask The Pro's" section and also a "HD Answers" section in it. I want to "Ask The Pro's" about rain-fade and dish size. I can't find a link anywhere there to be able to "Ask The Pro". Does anybody know how their questions are chosen for answering?

Dore Leaving Rainbow, Heading North -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Linda Moss 10/4/2004 5:39:00 PM Kathy Dore, the veteran head of all of Rainbow Media Holdings Inc.’s movie-based networks, is leaving the company after more than 20...

10/4/2004 3:56:00 PM Voom’s Equator HD channel can no longer say it has Never Been There, Never Done That. The Rainbow DBS-owned HD network acquired the exclusive HD U.S. rights to Never Been There, Never Done That, 20 one-hour documentaries “that explore some of the most astonishing...

I won a sweepstakes! This morning a box arrived from Voom. It was completely unexpected. When I opened the box I found an ESPN baseball cap and a nice note from Voom telling me I had won the September drawing for The Inner Circle's newsletter. I rarely win anything. This is too cool. :p

SD awards show with embarrassing grammar. They kept flashing "Your watching the Latin Grammy awards" on the screen just prior to program breaks. I don't know if it was something the local affiliate edited in or if the national feed had it also. Embarrassing use of the wrong "Your".

I've read all the posts and have seen that there really are only a handful consistently negative posters about the Voom service. Yes, this new company has some issues, but they really do seem to be getting better on each count. I am just as impatient as the next guy waiting for the DVR and...

How many OTA stations can you tune with the new scanning feature. This is dependent upon how many stations broadcast in your market and also how strong your antenna is.

Since I discovered some local VOOMers I thought that I would start this thread so that we can help each other out. In La Verne I can actually get a LOT of OTA digital stations. I can scan and lock 35 OTA's right now, and I think I will get more if I upgrade my antenna from the Winegard...
