Oooooo....2/10's of 1%! Ahhhh...the sky is falling! What a stupid article.

I cannot say if the picture quality improved...but one thing that I have noticed is that all of my video and audio are properly synced on everything since I have become "turbo charged" (or whatever the silly term is). I generally had minor synch problems on 1/4 of the DVRd shows...some were...

Glad is a bad term...but if Voom leaving is why we got some mainstream channels like Disney and Cartoon...then yes..still glad.

I was thinking just the opposite. This morning my daughter wanted to watch Tigger & Poo (yeah, riveting TV). It was in STUNNING...I mean STUNNING HD. I was really blown away. I have also noticed a few other channels looking better than normal. Maybe my eyes are getting worse??

Why stop at stealing equipment? Why not get some hacked cards and steal the service too? Lying and scamming to save a few bucks on TV seems...well...really pitiful.

Good to know there are so many honest people out there looking to defraud Dish. Thanks as those costs are passed along to all of us. Just amazing...

Yes. The splitter doesn't know it is running the wrong way. Works fine and is very cheap.

If it is sketchy with trees...you are going to have problems. We tried a few weekends ago to get my folks hooked up, but no matter the mounting location, we were battling foliage. At least NOW is a good time to try it out. Allot of folks will install in the late fall or winter only to...

I am not a huge car race fan (like most other motorsports though) but, I have to admit the I500 looked AMAZING! I also liked the side-by-side. FWIW, my viewing was jitter/garble free. I wish we could see a bit more bike races in HD. Speed HAS to be right around the corner right?

We have this identical setup as the OP. I have a $4 splitter combining the UHF from the OTA and the other side is the coax coming out of our 622...works perfectly. I don't recall our channel, but I think we are on 71 or something like that.

I know what "an" uplink center is...but I assume you are talking about a website or something on Dish's site??

Ok...so it is more of a long term or mid-term storage then right? I assume it would be too nice to have the 622 just auto manage the space. I did not realize that 500 GB would buy that much time...that may be worth it as the drive have really come down in price.

Dish has approximately 2.5 million HD customers. They WERE paying a bit over $4 (monthly) per HD subscriber for Voom. Now they are not... That extra $120 million (annual)...or umpteen (which means many Mr. Grammar) million allows tremendous flexibility and allows Dish to compete where it...

Nice to know that opinions are fine as long as you don't dare speak ill of Voom. You don't need numbers...Voom was already in bankruptcy...that should tell you something right there. Dish tried it and it did not work. If "core" customers were watching Voom...none of these threads would be...

What is the "watch per gig" ate? IE, how much time do you gain in HD recording ont he 622 on say a 500 GB external? The problem with switching to the all HD pack is now all the kids' Hannah Montana, Cat Dog etc is taking up ALLOT of space!

But you are not their core customer...not even close. The move they made played exactly to the core customers...the ones so politely labeled as "Voom haters" here by folks with little tact. A few thousand people may actually leave (not just complain) over the Voom issue...not even a blip on...

Not a great plan. Voom is headed towards bankruptcy in a jiffy...they have maybe 90 days.

The HD only is a phenomenal deal! My bill is like $41 now including the DVR fee etc. Now that they tossed Voom and added some mainstream programing it was a no brainer for us.

The Voom lovers fail to see that they are a very, very small market and it made no sense for Dish to battle with Voom when they could use the bandwidth for something that would both retain existing and draw in new customers. The fact of the matter is, 3-4 of the new channels added will add more...

Really classy. Great way to make friends.

And very off topic...but mine is real gold too.

That is the reason all these threads exist...folks here think this is MAINSTREAM and it is not. Folks that frequent or even infrequent forums are insignificant (not in ideas or opinions) in number...as in less than 1% ers. Forum users are definitely not mainstream. No matter how niche you may...

Why all this anger towards the so called Voom haters. Is anything about TV really worth hating? Voom was useless in our household (we had it off the guide anyway) and I could care less if it stays or goes...but offer me a trade for all the Voom channels for 4-5 popular channels (Disney...

Charlie made a smart move...or was at least advised to make a smart move. Do you think he makes these decisions without solid data backing them up? As mentioned above, the vast (very vast) majority will like the change and the new channels added over what was on Voom. Dish knows exactly who...

I do know that with the HD only, locals and misc fees...my bill is $41. That is HARD to beat!
