    No wonder adelphia is still rated worst in the country!!!

    Here we go again.... Man are they starting to piss me off. First it was the technical problems..those have continued. Every week or so my box magically gets unauthorized and I have to call in and have them zap it. I guess I've gotten used to that so it doesn't bother me as much. Now I...

    DD sound problem with Adelphia SA 8300

    Now the thing has stopped passing any 5.1 sound. All sound coming out of it is in regular stereo no matter if I use the coax or the optical. I double checked to make sure it's not my receiver by plugging in my dvd player to the same input the 8300 is on and it plays 5.1 just fine. I looked...

    How soon till voom channels get moved off the 61.5 sat?

    I've read that eventually they plan on moving the channels off the 61.5 sat or possibly moving the sat itself. Anyone know how soon this may happen? I'm that much closer to getting dishes officially approved in my condo, but if they do get approved, they will not approve more than 1 dish per...

    Now I remember why I hate adelphia

    Had them for less than two weeks, get home, see a nice message on my screen. "Your EXPLORER settop is NOT AUTHORIZED for use." So I call...according to the CSR, the computer that sends the authorization signals to all the boxes in my area is down. How the hell?!?!? WTF?!?!?! Don't they...

    Question about recording on SA 8300

    Is it possible to record based on time rather than based on programming? For example, say a program runs from 1:00 - 3:00, but I only want to recorde from 1:30 - 2:00 or something like that. Is there any way to do this? Also, say I want to record just a segment of a show. For example...

    Anyone else a little bit pi$$ed about the voom/dish thing?

    Let me explain. First off, I have to say I'm very glad someone has picked up the voom channels. However, I feel a little pissed off that they waited until the day before the scheduled shutdown to tell people about it. Especially considering that for the past few weeks they have been telling...

    Help!! I realize this doesn't belong in this forum, and the actual thread can be found in the general satellite forum, but I need as much help as I can get and since this forum currently has the most traffic, I'm hoping more people will see it here. Basically my condo board is...

    With voom dying will there be an HD cable forum?

    I know this is a satellite site, but with the demise of voom and many of us voomers switching to cable, might this site expand and add an HD cable section for us displaced voomers?

    Got Adelphia. May god have mercy on my soul!!!!!

    For the love of god, why voom, why?!!?!?!? I'm not a religious man, but as of today I believe I'm going to start praying for a miracle. Got adelphia installed today. Everything was fine except the InHD channels didn't come in. The installer didn't know squat about programming so he said...

    Movies Voom introduced you to.

    What movies did you see for the first time on the voom exclusive channels that you had never seen before, but are glad you saw them thanks to voom? They don't have to be great or classic movies, but just movies you liked that you would have probably never seen had voom not showed them. For...

    Any interesting offers from Adelphia??

    I'm reading some threads about people getting great offers from directv and timewarner and comcast, but my local cable company Adelphia wouldn't budge off their standard rates and aren't offering anything special to anyone according to what they told me. I'm wondering if anyone else has been...

    The most telling sign I've seen so far regarding Voom's fate?

    The most telling sign I've seen so far regarding Voom's fate! Just speculation, but.... There's a store called Brandsmart that has been offering a 300.00 Voom rebate with the purchase of a big-screen HDTV for the past couple of months. As of today, they have stopped this rebate offer.

    Tried to upgrade to vavavoom at the 79.95 rate...no luck. Anyone else??

    Ok, I figured since voom is going down, I'd get the vavavoom package till they finally die. I am currently still being billed 39.95. So, I had read on several other threads that people who are still on the 39.95 plan have been allowed to upgrade and keep the 79.95 rate. I called, told the CSR...

    Strange OTA problem in cold weather

    I'm in Miami and for some reason my reception for channel 4 gets much worse when the weather gets cold (considering I'm in Miami, I'm talking about when it drops into the 60's or low 70's). The warmer it is, the more consistent, the colder, the less consistent. What happens is I'll be...

    Recommend a good place to sell a Mits 65411?

    I need to sell my Mits 65411. I listed it on the classified forum here, but are there any other good places anyone can recommend to sell something like this? I'd like to sell it soon since it's just way too big for the small condo I just moved into.

    Mitsubishi WS-65411 for sale

    I'm selling it because I moved to a smaller apartment and it's simply too big for it. I love the TV, but just don't have the room in the new place. It's in almost perfect condition and has the basic adjustments using Avia. I've seen a 65311 sell on ebay recently for 1900, so I figure a...

    Can someone recommend a good wireless video/audio sender?

    I need a good wireless video/audio sender. I currently have the one from radio shack that looks like a flying saucer and it's the biggest waste of $80.00 I've made in a long time. I get these horizontal lines constantly flashing from some kind of interference and no matter what wireless...

    I'm watching the Dolphins game on channel 4-1 and am getting freezing left and right, the audio level is jumping all over the place, and maybe it's just me but there is no commentary. What happened to the commentators (although this is minor compared to the freezing)???? Anyone else having...

    Suggestions for what to do with dish if Ivan hits??

    My dish made it through Frances, but then again we only got about 40 mph winds with some higher gusts. Ivan the terrible looks like it's coming right for us with winds of 150+. I understand dishes are rated to 120mph winds. Is there any chance my dish won't turn into a flying missile or...
