I agree. Whenever I would tell someone that I had Voom they would say something to the effect of "Isn't that only HD, no normal cable channels?"

lol, that sounds so harsh.

Right now on Rave HD, my favorite channel, Robbie Williams is singing Frank Sinatra's classic "My Way"....I think I'll go sit in the corner and cry now. I will miss Voom so much.

Just.....damn. Don't take away my Voom. :no

That is when I ran across it there - late November.

I went to Micro Center today to get some ink for my printer and found myself lured to the HDTVs/Monitors. To my surprise I saw the HDN bug at the bottom of the screens. The Micro Center in Duluth, GA has a Voom receiver and is demoing its monitors with HDN. I asked the sales guy who jumped on me...

I too saw the commercial on DHDT but the audio was out of whack. For the majority of the commercial the voiceover was coming from the REAR channels. Toward the end of the commercial the voiceover returned to the front center channel. I checked all of my settings and everything was normal. Has...

lol, you gotta love how Seinfeld can be related to anything.

THe History channel (613) is also very low.

I guess it is time to give the csrs a call and have them do a pin reset. Go into system settings and turn demo mode off FIRST. Don't go to the security menu or you will get locked out again and have to call them back for another pin reset.

The funniest part of the whole thing had to be the csr's reaction to it. I told her that I was messing around with it and had "somehow gotten it into demo mode" and that I needed the pin reset. When it was done she jokingly chastised me for messing with it and told me not to do anything like...

Ah, too late to try the zipcode, when I got home I immediately went to settings and it was unlocked. I went to the demo mode screen and turned the mode back to normal. All fixed up now. So if you happen to do what I did and lock yourself out using demo mode you have to call the csr's and ask for...

I tried calling last night at about 11:40pm eastern and was on hold for an hour before I gave up and went to bed. I called just a few minutes ago at 1:12pm (using the second number 1-800-641-3746, I don't know if there is something special about it or not, but it worked) and the thing didnt even...

Ilya, maybe you can add the demo mode description to the STB FAQ so that others will not be tempted to see what demo mode is and get burned like I did. Just a thought.

It figures there was something on this forum warning me not to do it. I was on hold for an hour last night and finally gave up, I guess I have to try again today....and probably the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that.......

Unplugging the stb, waiting a while, and then replugging it does not reset it. I guess I have to call a csr, if I can get one on the phone.

I was messing around in the settings and the advanced settings (988) and decided to try 966. This brings up an option to enable "Demo mode." I enabled it and backed out of the menus. Nothing had changed so I tried to get back to the settings menu but there was now a lock on it! :eek: I tried a...

I thought that the DVI out of the Voom STB was DVI-D the D being digital only. If that is the case don't you need some special digital to analog converter to convert from DVI-D to VGA analog? The cable that Voom, Voom selected is DVI-A to VGA. I was hoping to connect my VGA computer monitor to...

Wow, I never knew that there were that many satellites just for dish network. Why did voom make such a big deal about launching Rainbow-1 and we are now only hearing about the backup satellite through a confrence call? Why not have the same fainfare for the new satellite?

Is having a backup satellite a common practice? Do other satellite providers practice this as well? I'm a noob to satellite and have not done much research on the subject. Is it worth the extra (hundreds?) of millions of dollars to have a redundant system like that? And what is the difference...

The antenna was a Winegard HD721P (or so I could tell from the picture http://www.winegard.com/offair/pdf/hd7210p.pdf I didn't feel like climbing on the roof to look ;) ) It is supposed to be good for reflection and I guess that is why they went with it. The antenna preamp is a Winegard...

Sorry that I wasn't being very clear. My point was that like wasch_24's receiver my Pioneer receiver switches between Proligic II and DD depending on the programming that is being displayed. When I said optical cable I should have said any digital input (optical or digital coax, they are...

I'm at work now, I'll check when I get home. When the installer came out the first thing he did was pull it out of the box and unfold it. It is enormous compared to the stealth antenna and he said he always shows people how big the antenna is before he gets it up on the roof in case they have...

I have a Pioneer reciever and the Voom reciever is connected via an optical cable. My setup behaves the same way, I guess the STB changes the signal type and the reciever senses this and changes its decoding scheme. I have noticed, at least with my local ABC station, that the DD is not always...
