Eureka!!! I opened my mailbox today and there it was! Son of a gun, they weren't BSing! Now to apply for that $200. :)

The last time they hit my credit card was Mar 28. That should have paid me up thru April when the lights went out. I'm thinking any last statement should have arrived long ago. I fear we've been lied to. I emphasized to the CSRs the $200 value and they we're very firm in their claim that one...

I was assured by 2 CSRs that one last Voom statement would be sent out. It's worth $200 to new Directv subs. Has anybody gotten their final statement yet?

This actually seems like a rip-off after the honeymoon period. If you look at the packages on the Dish website you see that the Top 60 is their lowest package and only costs $27. Add $10 for HD and (assume) $5 for Voom add-ons and it should only cost $42. Did I miss something? Granted, the...

pederb, I just called Voom (twice). Both reps said one last invoice would go out to everybody at the end of the month.

Jdog, does DTV = Directv? If what you guys say is true then I stand corrected at least for Directv and I apologize. And now I'm here to say I'm thoroughly confused about Dish. My "almost forever" comment was based on what I've heard from others and the fact that Dish would not sign me up as...

Sorry to be so ignorant. What is D* and E* ?

My post one page back didn't seem to elicit a response so I'll ask more directly. Ilya, Can you explain something to me? I live in a rural area in between the Mobile/Pensacola/Ft Walton region and Dothan Ala. I receive stations in both these regions strongly. I have always gotten the...

I wonder why DMA map hasn't changed. The DMA for Mobile/Pensacola/Ft Walton was released a couple of weeks ago. That new DMA map is 062 but mine reads 0663. I live in a rural area on the northeastern edge of this region. The stations in these cities are my main source of OTA signals but I...

Where's all this bandwidth coming from? Are other channels suffering?

Dvi 720p

BUD? This is a new one to me. Can someone translate?

Me too. I'm in a 32xxx Florida zip code so they say I don't qualify. :( CSR says it's only contracted to be shown in the Miami area. Does that suck or what? :mad: I wish they hadn't put it up on the PG. Ignorance was blissful. :rolleyes:

They could always add more fish tanks!! :haha

I kid you not, I was this close (picture thumb and pointing finger real close togther) to dropping Voom for the lack of HGTV and Food Channel. My wife protested when we switched to Voom and she lost these channels. I asked her to be patient, that I thought they were coming. But it was...

Though I have firm grasp of interlaced vs progressive methods it becomes a bit hazy to me when things get up and down converted to non original formats like 480i to 720p, or 1080i to 720p, etc, where lines have to be filled in or left out. Some definite magic going on there! But that tech...

What I'd like to see (and I don't think anybody ever talks about this) is better SD picture quality. I love my HD but sometimes (a lot of times) you have to watch SD. My set can freeze frame the picture which allows me to count the horizontal lines. Almost all the SD channels look like they...

Does the letter posted above by devildogg explain why when I tune to my OTA NBC HD station I get the "no signal received..." message even though I have signal strength 80 and quality 99. WTF is going on?!! Is anybody else experiencing the same thing? Are they saying I can only see day old...
