How is this done? Is this a consumer hack or does Dish or some other place actually perform the upgrade? Shelly

The Voom dish and lnb are compatible with the Dish 500, if, and only if, your Dish 500 is Legacy with Legacy lnb. Then all of your switches will have numbers beginning with SW--xx. All new Dish equipment is Dish Pro. Dish Pro dishes have arms that attach to lnb with different shape than Legacy...

If you can swing it, I hope you go for it. I feel that $20 for 15 hd channels is a no brainer. A couple can't go out once a month for a decent dinner for $20. Of course, you have to own a receiver to get this ala carte hd pak. Shelly

No, you have to have the original hd pak ($10) first in order to qualify for the Voom pak ($5) + the $5 access fee. This is what I have with Dish now. Shelly

Did you run the Check Switch which is in the Installation menu? It is necessary for the dish receiver to recognize your switches and satellites. If you had your previous system set up with any switches, your receivers have that in memory. Even if you know bypass all switches tto see iff your...

The Voom dish has the Dish Legacy lnb which is the older equipment. It requires a SW-21 switch if you are combining two satellite dishes for each room of your house. If you have the newer Dish Pro dish and switches, the Voom legacy equipment willnot be compatible. Your switches will be DP-xx...

I reactivated my dish account this morning and ordered just the hd pak and the Voom pak. There is the afore mentioned $5 access charge as well bringing the total to $19.95. In my case, there was a $25 reactivation fee, but no problems as I owned my original 6000 (no leases in the good old...

For those of you using your old 6000 receivers, please post whether you have any problems getting reception of the old hd pak. Although I can get picture and sound on all the Voom channels, I only get sound, no picture on the original hd pak. Please see my post here and the solution...

Don, Yesterday I had Comcast installed and only had one hd box. I had disconnected my Voom receiver but now decided to hook it back and when I did, I had lost all programming. Hard and soft reboots did nothing. I lost my Voom on Friday and it would not recover. Shelly

I had a 30" dish installed for another sat service. the installer added several anchor wires (3 or 4, can't remember) to the roof to secure the dish from wind problems. No problems, not even in storms, so far. Shelly

I sure will miss Voom, but I will be taking my Dish sd and hd receivers from the storage shed this weekend and getting them back in the equipment racks, hook up all cables and be ready to go back to Dish when the Voom lights go out. What a shame to have to go back to single East coast feeds...

So do curent customers get the stb rental rolled back to $5 as well or do we have to cancel and then reapply for Voom to save the $4.50/month extra rental fee? Shelly

My sales tax is down $6 and change but I'm still being taxed fo the stb rental. Aren't we supposed to get refunded for the past improper sales taxes, though? Shelly

I have both Dish and Voom. I sure hope that if this merger rumor is true, that we can keep our Voom stb. Although the resolution/clarity is about the same, my Dish stb has a much more washed out picture than my Voom stb, and this is with 2 different video displays (a rptv and a front...

I have not had any lockups since the frst day, both of which happened when I was surfing through the shannel up/down buttons. I have only used the program guide since then to change channels and to surf. Using the Favorites, HD Only and All Channels without a problem. Will not just surf with...

I received the software upgrade 2 days ago. Last night, my stb locked up twice while I was SLOWLY surfing through the channels. Each time the video froze to black screen with the lower channel guide remaining on screen with audio. Soft reboot was impossible each time as both remote and...

I have never complained about Voom's picture quality. In fact I dropped Dish and Directv and will stay with Voom until whenever.... And channel 321 is active for me. I keep Bev (Canadian Bell ExpressVu) for the East and West coast networks and PBS feeds. I can't get ota local networks at...

I can't believe that I missed a line and wrote "dip" instead of "salsa." I'll watch it some more today just to make sure that I get it right next time. :) Shelly

I'm in Carmel Valley, CA (between S.F and L. A.) and have 321. I didn't bother with the other stations as I don't mind the day delay and wouldn't bother with the sd feed. Besides, I might miss the Sony commercial on the sd feeds. Shelly

Hey Tom. Hey Tom. Watcha doin'? Watchin' tv. In high def? Yeah. Can we watch with you? We brought chips. And dip. Ok. Yeah. Now repeat this over and over and over again and you will be one with Sony. Shelly

Quite a awhile ago, Voom replaced my 18" dish with a 24" dish, but the weather had been perfect here in CA since that installation. Slight drizzles, back then with the 18"er, would result in no picture for hours at a time. This morning, we have dense clouds with low cloud misting and my...

I, too, do not understand this as my stb is on 24/7 and never shuts itself off. Shelly

My box was on and tuned to channel 100 this morning, so the download came and took care of everything. Full program guide and no need to reboot at all. Am I an exception as so many have had to reboot. The best new feature for me will be the All Channels guide rturning to the current channel...

We expeienced no audio problems with Six Feet Under on the HBOE 201 channel at 6 pm pst. Shelly

You're way off on this one, Seawaves. Cancer sucks, homelessness sucks, smog sucks but satellite providers all have their problems, which are minor in the grand scheme of things. The hard reboot restored all my channels. My program guide reappeared within 20 minutes. I have had Directv...
