Hey, Kevin. I just signed up to have Gregg come to San Antonio to do my set in the July timeframe. He needs another customer or two in the Austin area to make the trip affordable by splitting the costs. If you live nearby, perhaps he could include you in a multiple customer trip to Texas...

Good input guys on PQ on Dish. I went with Time Warner temporarily until the HD Delivery Wars worked themselves out. Because my HD DVR could only support composite out, I've noted a very real reduction in PQ from cable. I always used Discovery HD as the acid test and it is good, but not great on...

Got Time Warner cable installed yesterday with the Scientific Atlanta HD DVR. At first I was a bit disappointed but it looks like it will be ok until something better comes up. Of course you can't expect the installer guy to set it up correctly for HD so with a bit of fiddling around with it...

I did a lot of research when I bought my Samsung 61" DLP and wound up going with Abe's of Maine (actually, they are in Brooklyn, NY). I would up saving almost $1,400 off of the same set at the local Circuit City, including the cost of shipping. Digital Kings and several other stores from those...

I called Time Warner and ordered cable last night. Again, thanks to this forum, I mentioned that I was a long time satellite customer switching and they had a similar unpublished deal. I would up getting digital cable, HD STB, HD DVR, install and wiring within the house as I have never had cable...

Guys I'm going to have to go with Time Warner Cable until someone comes out as the HD provider of choice. One problem I've heard of in the San Antonio area is that is you go with Time Warner and choose the HD DVR, they have electronically deactivated the DVI output on the box. This forces...

Wow! Where'd you find 77 and 87 inch DLPs? Are they projectors? When I bought my Samsung, 61" DLP, it was the biggest you could buy. I've heard recently that Samsung was working on an 80" DLP projection, but that it wasn't in a product for sale just yet. I was comparing it to the Sony Grand...

61" Samsung DLP. PQ does seem to vary channel to channel and day to day at times. Some overcompressed SD channels look especially bad. Example Outdoor Life. Some SD channels like CNN Headline News used to have some severe C-BAND sparklies, but they seem to have gone away and now PQ on CNN...

Guys, this makes four different channel addition groups in the last month or so. I would venture to say it is a good indicator that the service isn't going anywhere. Keep bringing them on!

Yep. Noticed it to last night on Rave and again this morning on Headline News.

I did my part. Conf number 2005324231479 Hope it helps

My best friend got tired of starving his new HDTV and he waited for a good install deal on Voom. His install is scheduled for this coming Monday. He is the one that called me and said the Voom web site was down and asked me what was going on. If they show up on Monday, he's going to have them...

Bruce, sorry about that. I got to the forum by using a "guest" account. Once you do that, click on the 4DTV forum. They've got a couple of relevant discussions going on.

Guys, just saw this on the 4DTV forum page at http://forums.satforums.com/SatForumMaster/index.php?msg=11453.1 Voom stated today that Echostar would run VOOM as a seperate entity due too its HIGH END "HD". Thus E* would have DISH and VOOM as individual entities. Don't know if this is...

Thank you. That's what I thought.

Forgive me for asking a dumb question, but could someone please explain which satellite services are represented by e* and D*? I'm confused as to which is Dish Network and which is DirecTv. Thanks

Yes, I hated them too. Too many problems with billing and overcharging. I also noted that the decoder and the 4DTV receivers themselves were not selling to well and my biggest surprise was that General Instruments, an early leader in C-Band equipment and the maker of the 4DTV reciever, was...

I switched to Voom from C-Band with a 4DTV reciever just to get the quantitiy of HD channels I wanted. While I was considering buying the HDTV, my assessment was that C-Band was losing subscribers and there would be no significant growth for new services, i.e. HDTV channels on C-Band so the time...

Finally read all 25 pages (so far) and it was exhausting. I've been with Voom since July and like it a lot. I'll stay with it as long as there is a signal. In the mean time I'll be watching the news here and researching where I'll need to get my required dose of HD. I didn't spend $4K on TV just...

gawain Come on in, the water's fine. Voom has a pretty decent service and the current promotion removes all risk. If they don't make it, you're really not out anything. Once you see all the HD content, you'll never go back. That and I don't mind helping out the underdog. Win-win...

While I clicked on a few, the drop dead best HD channel is Discovery HD Theater by far. If you want to show off your HDTV, that's the channel to do it with. Can't get enough of it.

I'm poor too. Got a 61" Samsung DLP in the family room. Everything else is non-HD. Got a 53" Magnavox in the living room Got a 20" no-name in the exercise room Got a 20" no-name in the bedroom Got a 13" JVC in the daughter's room. It'll be a while before the other sets get...

Not to belittle anyone's personal beliefs, but I consider religious channels to be of interest to a different niche of satellite customers than are currently subscribing to Voom. I would prefer Voom stick to its roots and continue to try to roll out more HD programming. If I understand the...

I had a 10' dish with a 4DTV receiver before I bought my 61" Samsung DLP. After much research, I went with Voom as my only satellite source as in my opinion, Voom offered way more HD content than anyone and at the time there was leased equipment and free install. Since you're getting a...
