    Voom AND Dish -- Together?

    That's a good point. I looked at the list, again, and there are none under normal VOOM other than the ten stations of HD Cinema -- which seem to be getting mixed reviews. And that must be the Catch-22 (I knew there had to be one)! Unless "Epics" counts. With VaVaVOOM you get Cinemax, Encore...

    Voom AND Dish -- Together?

    That might be a good point. My Mitsubishi is 55". Are you saying the Dish offerings -- not HD -- will be disappointing? Mine can receive pretty much every resolution up to 1080i. In anticipation of my Voom installation, do I need to order or locate anything specific -- such as special cables...

    Voom AND Dish -- Together?

    This may be an old question -- forgive me, if it is... Is anyone using Voom with Dish Network as a dual (or combined) installation? Is anybody subscribed to both services at the same time? A recent review of my personal comparison Chart (which I mentioned in another thread here) seems to...

    My own "comparison" chart & questions

    Here's another interesting comparison (assuming my Chart is fairly accurate). It occurred to me while I was examining that I could subscribe to two satellite stations for $5 more than I'm willing to pay for VaVaVOOM ($80): Dish Top 180 ($45) + VOOM ($40 - not VAVaVOOM). With that...

    My own "comparison" chart & questions

    What I've been watching for 40+ years -- regular old TV (I'm 50). When did I first see "The Wizard of OZ" in color -- about age 24. In fact, I was high as a kite with some friends and when Dorothy stepped out of the house and everything changed to color, I jumped 10 feet off the floor and...

    My own "comparison" chart & questions

    I knew the comment about Sports would get a response! What normal "guy" doesn't like Sports? I like some, but I'm not going to spend any weekends watching 10 college basketball games, etc. Golf is my joy and albatross, but I can't sit and watch it. I'd rather be playing at some local Course. On...

    My own "comparison" chart & questions

    Are the picture quality issues still existing with VOOM that are reported here in other areas since last September? Jittery pictures. Pixelation. Sparklies and streaks. Or have the images improved in the last few months? I guess it doesn't hurt to try it for a few months with the current...

    My own "comparison" chart & questions

    I bought an HDTV by Mitsubishi two years ago. I've never had Cable and never subscribed to any form of Satellite TV -- I hate the idea of paying for TV broadcasting. But all those "reality" shows are forcing me to finally abandon normal TV. I can't stand it. I'm considering VOOM as my first...
