    VOOM PVR/DVR Release Soon... Echostar/Rainbow information coming soon as well (???)

    This is why I left Voom in the first place, the endless delays and empty promises. Apparently things haven't changed. I'm enjoying my HD DVR at D* immensely.

    Current Issues with VOOM's PQ

    One of my all time favorite movies is A Clockwork Orange. I watched it on one of the Voom Cinema 10 channels a couple of months ago and was disappointed by the PQ and posted about it at the time. It was very grainy. Last night I watched it again on HDNet through D* and the quality was amazing...

    Directv to offer more HD

    And that will probably still be before Voom even gets a DVR :smug

    Stay with Voom or switch?

    If you read the first post, Jimmy asked for comments. I'm not whining, I'm just commenting on why I'm leaving since he asked. At least I didn't start one of those "I'm outta here" threads. Those are almost as annoying as people who whine about other people whining.

    Stay with Voom or switch?

    The HR10-250 is an HD DVR. I'm sure if you had one of these it wouldn't be collecting dust :) Whether I watch HD or SD, it's important for me to control my TV watching, not my provider. DVR equals freedom.

    Stay with Voom or switch?

    I'm switching to D* for several reasons. Before Voom I'd become accustomed to having a DVR. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I didn't have one. Now that I've got my hands on a HR10-250, I'm gone. Sure, Voom is getting a DVR. We've seen how quickly they've acted on other issues...

    The Voom PG - I actually like it

    My Dish 721 had the ability to store more than one Favorites list. My wife and I each had our own, very different, favorites. That's what I miss the most, besides the DVR, which is another issue. Oh yeah, and the ability to do a text search for program titles. That's a huge disadvantage to...

    Good luck, Voomers! (If you don't reboot daily)

    Only one reboot, second day I had Voom, right after I got the software upgrade. It's been fine since then.

    Canceling Voom

    Couldn't have said it better.

    DVD-Recorders

    I have a Philips DVD-R80 with component in cables. I purchased this model because I read that the component in connections would allow me to downconvert to 480p instead of 480i. I'm able to record off the Voom STB at 480i, but can't figure out how to get it working at 480p. Anyone have any...

    HD Channels Missing from Program Guide

    Just got off the phone with another CSR. It seems we've narrowed the problem down to Playboy. The other channels weren't showing up in the HD guide because they weren't broadcasting in HD at the time. The CSR verified that some of these channels do not broadcast HD 24/7. But the Playboy should...

    HD Channels Missing from Program Guide

    This what my first thought was, but as I stated in my first post, shouldn't the channels that I mentioned be full-time HD channels?

    HD Channels Missing from Program Guide

    A weird thing started happening yesterday. When I went to the All HD program guide, a bunch of my HD channels were no longer listed. Channels like PlayboyHD, ESPNHD, StarzHD, one of the ShowtimeHD's and one of the HBOHD's (I think West, but I can't remember, I'm at work now). They show up in my...

    I got the same cables as DarrellP.

    VOOM after 24 hours

    It's also been 24 hours since install for me. The only glitch was when the STB upgraded to 568 overnight I lost all the program guide info that had been working initially. I called Voom and the CSR had me unplug the box. I got the program info back about a half hour later. Everything has been...

    New Subscribers Who Are NOT Yet Installed Please Read This.

    My install is this Friday. I've received emails from Voom and Installs. I've verified my install date through Installs three times. There is no information on my install when I log onto MY Voom though. When I called Voom they had the info. I just called Installs again and specifically asked them...
