Yep. It is a cute little trick to make sure that the email made it through spam filters of the isp and Outlook and was seen by the end user. Someone will track the weblog and use it to verify that the customer has received notice of the pending changes.

Has anybody noticed the individualized web bug/gif at the bottom so that can track that you "read" the email? Some times it is nice to have a non-html email program.

Well, I have seen two DSL companies go dark. One did it with 30 days notice, and the other with 24 hours notice. I expect that we will get a day's notice on 999, and then a day of every channel being 999, and then "click". The FCC issue is the only holdout we hopeful few have.

Voom isn't going anywhere. Can't you people see a stall tatic when it is presented? Summer 2004 - We are going to spin off Voom Fall 2004 - The spinoff is taking longer than expected Winter 2004 - Spinoff cancelled Jan 2005 - We are going to look to sell Spring 2005 - We haven't found...

No, it says he knows how to *play* the stock market. 1) His company makes a statement. 2) Stock jumps 13% 3) He sells his stock he had earlier said he would sell. 4) He makes an extra 1/2 million. Not bad for a week's work.

http://www.csgnetwork.com/antennasatelazposcalc.html and AMC 6 is the name of "Rainbow 2". It doesn't have Rainbow 1 on there, but using the E* 3 bird is close enough. Using the numbers coming out of that calculator, it looks like there cannot be a one dish fits all scenario. Boston would...

Nope. It has a receiving angle of 3 degrees. Rainbow 1 is at 61.5 and the new one is at 72 degrees. So, they are too far apart, and require an elliptical dish that has multiple focus points to catch both birds.

Ok. Since "Rainbow 2" is going active, I hereby make a formal request for the following to be implemented after some of the userbase is able to receive signals from Rainbow 2: 1) move redundant SD channels from Rainbow 1 to Rainbow 2. Specifically: 202 HBO East SD 203 HBO West SD 223...

Since mine was $17.05 and I have had service about 4 months, yes, it looks like it.

Wrong. I had Voom 2 months before I got my hd-lite projector, and I am still saving my dimes to get the Sony XBR. The cost was the same as cable, and the picture records cleaner on my MythTV and ReplayTV DVRs.

I watch based on content of the show in the best format available. So, If I am home, and I remember something is on live and in HD, I watch it in real time. If not, my ReplayTv/MythTV DVRs records it at SD and I watch it later. Considering I work second shift, I see very little live TV...

Ok. So, I moved things around and was able to get my LCD 800x600 projector to put up a 1080i image at 8 pixels/inch. (DarrelP is running 13.3) Then, standing at arms length from the screen, I am able to see some of what DarrelP is complaining about on his much better equipment. On Rave, where...

Ok. Obvious question: Are you driving the projector at 720p or 1080i and letting the projector do the scalling? On my (little) Nec LT81, driving at 800x600 produces a noticebly better picture than feeding it 1024x768 and letting it scale (computer DVD src). Do you see a noticeable difference...

Ok DarrellP, what are the specs on your projector? Type, native display and accepted inputs please. I am curious as to if going with too much hardware quality is causing the distraction. I am going to do a few tests with my lowly, POS projector at home tonight.

98-99 I still get dropouts on soakers, but fine in normal rain.

It took four trips for Don Lors to install my preapproved 24" dish. You have to ride them constantly. I got it done by calling the scheduling department at Don Lors the day before, confirming with the secretary that I have a 24" dish listed on the work order, having her put me on hold an...

My preference would be for two sliders in the configuration. 1) controls the transparency of the text/yellow bar. 2) controls the transparency of the grey/black background. That way, I could set mine as 90%/0% and get a bold yellow surf bar and a fully clear background image.

Ok. Are the spot beams seperated enough between Florida and Ohio that Voom might turn them on for these sports channels? That would save some bandwidth by overlapping these channels. I saw the map of the spot beam placements once, but lost the url for it.

Somebody needs to give Tribune/Zap2It better data. I have a directdata guide feed from Zap2It for my MythTV DVR. I went searching through the database. PlayboyHD has every program set as HDTV. TNTHD marks 227 shows as HD and 2 as SD (2 of 9 episodes of Angel. Why only 2, I don't know)...

No. 1) Allow anyone to get the referral. If they are an existing customer, it would be a credit on their account. If they are not a customer, send them a check. 2) No limiting the number of referrals. 3) Make it a flat $20. That is more clear than a 1/2 month of service, because people...

Ok. Here is what I did different. sqlite> select name from lineupmaps; sqlite> update lineupmaps SET name='VOOM' where name = 'Local Broadcast Listings'; Using those two commands instead of your sqlite commands allowed me to put Voom and Locals on the same S-video connection. But, I...

Yes. I had found that after my posting, and it worked for me. Then, I went digging. I may have an improvement for you. Of course, it is written down on my home machine. I will post it here later. It worked by instead of changing the input's available controller for locals to satellite, by...

I have a ReplayTV 4080 and just had Voom installed this week. It works in SD. Here is how. 1) Voom S-Video -> ReplayTV in. 2) Download WIRNS from the AVS ReplayTV forums. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=384071&highlight=wirns onto a Windows PC on the same ethenet...

I called Installs Inc. It seems everyone who has ordered online in the last few days is named Daryl. Installs Inc knew about it. "There is a glitch in Voom's ordering system." I asked to have my install to be done by a specific company in Detroit. "Is Don-Lor's Electronics on your...
