    Stone Man - Well, I've had the Comcast gear for a few days now. Overall, it is pretty good. Of course channels 2-99 are still analog and look grainy. The other SD channels above that look pretty good and HD looks like good HD, but I'm not a stickler for PQ like DarrelP, so take my...

    Stone Man et all, I am going to go with Comcast for the time being. If DirectTV actually comes through with their promises, I can move over to them. Right now, Comcast here in Denver is offering Digital Silver with Starz for 39.99 per month, though I forgot to ask how long that monthly...

    Hey Stone Man, Now that I seem to be eating crow . . pass the salt please!! :shocked What were the factors pointing you in the direction you went? Comcast is now using the Motorola 6412, which seems to have a good reputation, but I'm still reading. Just interested.

    Super DMA Rollout According to the main VOOM forum here on SatGuys, Colorado Springs and Pueblo get the new super DMA mapping before Denver - heck, Denver isn't even shown on the schedule. PUEBLO???? I don't think anyone in Pueblo even owns an HDTV!!! Oh well!! :(

    VOOM Lives On!!! I trust that those VOOMers here also read the main VOOM forum on SatGuys, but if not, it has been announced by CableVision that Charles Dolan and son Tom Dolan (but not son James Dolan) are buying the remaining VOOM assets and intend to keep the business alive. It is not...

    Well, as of this morning, most of my VOOM is still on!!! :D However, I cannot get 2-1 WB2. I rescanned and still no Angie Austin :no I had similar problems last week and then it came back. My guess is the problem is at the station. Anyone know anything more?

    Waaahhhhhhhhh!!! :mad: I still wouldn't go back to Comcast, but that box is dual tuner. The 120GB hard drive isn't too big, but it's bigger than the one I (don't) have!!! Waaaahhhhhhhhh!!!! :mad:

    Firmware / Software Upgrade? I guess my STB's got upgraded last night - all 3 were powered off when I woke up this morning and I had to unplug them and plug them back into the wall socket to get them to power up. I didn't check my firmware / software versions - can't keep up with them...

    I'm happy. I'm not planning on going anywhere. To the best of my knowledge, no other provider in Denver has an HD PVR, except the $1000 Tivo - plus service - YIKES!!! Comcast promises the world but doesn't deliver, the PQ of their "On Demand" service is HORRIBLE. The DISH 921 never panned...

    You know, this was the first time I haven't been able to watch something that I wanted since I got on VOOM, so I guess that is not too bad, but I WAS disappointed.

    And of course, as soon as we discuss it, the problem goes away. I no longer have the flashing upper right quadrant on 2-1.

    Yeah, I've had it for more than a couple of days. I figured it would go away after a day or so, but it has not. Any ideas how we differentiate it as a Voom problem versus a WB2 problem? Not sure who to call on it.

    Welcome Bob the Builder!!! I am not an installer, but one thing that I do know, is that amplifiers are tricky business - keep in mind that they amplify the BAD stuff as well as the GOOD stuff, so adding another probably isn't the way to go. You should be able to contact VOOM and complain...

    Angie is Back!!! I was happily surprised that 2-1 is back on the air this morning. Of course Angie Austin would have the day off!!! LOL Anyway, the explanation from Couch Potato helped too. Have a great day all!

    What does VOOM have to say about no channel 2? I haven't called VOOM yet about losing my channels 2.1 and 2.2 - has anyone called them? What did they say?

    You don't say which Sammy you have, but I presume it's one of the HLN DLP's. If so you are gonna LOVE it!!! I have an HLN567W and it is stunning!!! Out of the box, it will look good, but it can be made to look better. Check out this thread over on the AVSForum - you will learn more than...

    I powered off the STB for a minute or two, but never actually disconnected it from the wall. I talked to VOOM and they reminded me about the red button. Pushing that any number of times did nothing for my problem. So, I held the power button down for ~10 seconds to force a soft reboot and...

    No Video!!! Hi All, This weekend, one of my VOOM STB's stopped giving me video - I can still see the Menu Guide and the info bar when I change channels and I get audio, but I don't get any video. Very weird. I also tried both component out and DVI out with the same result. Just thought...

    Ummm . . I finally found a web site that clearly defines the differences between DVI-I and DVI-D for me. The VOOM box most definitely has a DVI-D port on the back and comes with DVI-D cables. It turns out that DVI-I does BOTH digital and analog. The DVI-I plug has 4 more pins than DVI-D...

    CSI in SD Last Night? My CSI on both CBS channels was running in SD (with sidebars) for about the 1st 15 minutes or so last night. Then it went to HD, with occasional, momentary lapses into SD after commercials, after that. Since it was both channels, I have to assume it was the master feed...
