If Charlie Ergen has the opportunity to successfully seal more "exclusive distribution" deals, then it won't matter how many satellites DirecTV has, they won't have access to the content to transmit. Reminds me of all the dark fiber optics cable that is currently lying in the ground...

Set 4:3 override to "OFF" in the 6412 set up - sorry, I'm at work and don't remember how to get into the Motorola set up, but I had the EXACT same problem when the tech came out to install mine. HTH

Request a Replacement!!! Sean, If you've read any of the many Motorola DCT6412 threads on other newsgroups, you should not be surprised. Yes, apparently there are some bad 6412's out there, but not every one is faulty. You can simply call Comcast and request a replacement. Other...

Stone Man - Well, I've had the Comcast gear for a few days now. Overall, it is pretty good. Of course channels 2-99 are still analog and look grainy. The other SD channels above that look pretty good and HD looks like good HD, but I'm not a stickler for PQ like DarrelP, so take my...

Denver Comcast Offering I just got off the phone with Comcast here in Denver. I told them I was a current satellite customer and that I wanted to change to Comcast. They offered me Digital Silver with HBO for 39.99 per month for 12 months. I was also able to add 2 HD-DVR's for 9.95 each per...

Stone Man et all, I am going to go with Comcast for the time being. If DirectTV actually comes through with their promises, I can move over to them. Right now, Comcast here in Denver is offering Digital Silver with Starz for 39.99 per month, though I forgot to ask how long that monthly...

Hey Stone Man, Now that I seem to be eating crow . . pass the salt please!! :shocked What were the factors pointing you in the direction you went? Comcast is now using the Motorola 6412, which seems to have a good reputation, but I'm still reading. Just interested.

This is typical of the gibberish that has invaded the VOOM forum lately. It makes no difference what my opinion is on a future event. The FCC is a governing body and when they make a decision, they will make it and my "opinion" of what they "will do" is meaningless. Why Sean and company let...

Fear and Trepidation!! I have to admit that for the first time, I am now nervous about the future of VOOM :shocked Time will tell!!!

Still have doubts?

Sean, I had to reboot my STB, but I now get the new channels. FYI BTW, I for one am VERY happy that VOOM is still on the air, adding channels/content. And YES I subscribe to Va Va Voom.

Super DMA Rollout According to the main VOOM forum here on SatGuys, Colorado Springs and Pueblo get the new super DMA mapping before Denver - heck, Denver isn't even shown on the schedule. PUEBLO???? I don't think anyone in Pueblo even owns an HDTV!!! Oh well!! :(

Back in June, I knew I would be moving into a new house in July, but the promotion at the time would be expiring at the end of June. I called Voom in June, placed my order for July and set up my installation date for July and got the promotion. I don't see why your situation is any...

VOOM Lives On!!! I trust that those VOOMers here also read the main VOOM forum on SatGuys, but if not, it has been announced by CableVision that Charles Dolan and son Tom Dolan (but not son James Dolan) are buying the remaining VOOM assets and intend to keep the business alive. It is not...

In an effort to put this thread back on track . . On the AVS Forum, I read that Charlie Ergen is going to have something to say tomorrow Wednesday on his regular "What's new at Dish" program about the Rainbow equipment acquisition. Sean, this fits in with your information in many ways...

Well, as of this morning, most of my VOOM is still on!!! :D However, I cannot get 2-1 WB2. I rescanned and still no Angie Austin :no I had similar problems last week and then it came back. My guess is the problem is at the station. Anyone know anything more?

Yes PLEASE!!!

Merry Christmas And Happy Holidays to ALL!!! Enjoy your HD TV broadcasts over the weekend - Broncos on Saturday this week. :)

Waaahhhhhhhhh!!! :mad: I still wouldn't go back to Comcast, but that box is dual tuner. The 120GB hard drive isn't too big, but it's bigger than the one I (don't) have!!! Waaaahhhhhhhhh!!!! :mad:

Firmware / Software Upgrade? I guess my STB's got upgraded last night - all 3 were powered off when I woke up this morning and I had to unplug them and plug them back into the wall socket to get them to power up. I didn't check my firmware / software versions - can't keep up with them...

Me TOO!! I agree. I don't understand the people that threaten to drop VOOM because they don't have a DVR - does Dish have an HD DVR? (cancelled) does Cablevision? (promised, but not in my area) does DirectTV? (yes, for $1000 plus monthly Tivo). VOOM has more HD channels than all the other...

Umm . . does DISH have Comcast Sportsnet? I didn't think Comcast resold any of their programming to competitors - but I was wrong once before.

I'm happy. I'm not planning on going anywhere. To the best of my knowledge, no other provider in Denver has an HD PVR, except the $1000 Tivo - plus service - YIKES!!! Comcast promises the world but doesn't deliver, the PQ of their "On Demand" service is HORRIBLE. The DISH 921 never panned...

You ought to try one first - not being tied to the networks scheduling is GREAT - watch what you want when YOU want to or can. Skipping over commercials on recorded programs is GREAT!!! Pausing a live show to answer the phone or make a bio break is GREAT!! I used to have DISH with a PVR...
