    traffic on this forum beginning to dwindle??

    Has it been 25 days already? I say 1 Month it is time to merge and clean up. So June 1st would be clean up day. Maybe delete all the threads and leave only ones (as stickys) for those that need help moving to cable, dish or direct tv. Then have threads from then on only for Voom...

    Dish Club Referrals

    How could you have any better discount? Disnetwork has price fixed the promo. The only extra discount coupon code that the order screens will take is the Club Dish referal code that we all can give out (just Private message us). In the end the contract is signed with dish not any...

    Rumour on Dish Buyback of VOOM STB's?

    The rumor I heard was it was going to be the new Switch from Voom to Dish promo in July. Kind of like what cable was doing, they would take your Dish receiver and you would get a specail promo for switching. THey were going to take the old Voom receviers as proof that you had voom, the...

    $19.99 Promotion (Ends May or July 31?) and Dish Club Discount?

    On the Retailer chat the CEO Charlie E him self said the 34 switch is free, the 44 switch required for Super dish is not unless they are a voom customer new to dish as its part of the $100 switch to Voom promo. If they are not a prev. Voom customer then the 44 switch is extra for super dish...

    offer from dish...this is better!!!!

    There is no need to wait for signing up with VOOM as the $100 install fee is waived by FCC LAW if you have locals in your DMA like you do. Many others are also by law not getting charged $100 of there locals are on the 148 degrees sat, they then just ask the installer to point it to 61.5 for...

    offer from dish...this is better!!!!

    The switch is free if you are a VOOM customer switching to dish and never had dish before. Some CSRs are outsourced contractors and do not know the right screen to enter the information into. Also I have heard of some local retailers trying this on Super Dish install for the DPP 44 switch...

    offer from dish...this is better!!!!

    Think about it. If your leasing something and it stops working you would just turn it back in and leave if they did not offer you a newer model that would work. Same with dish, I predict Free upgrades to Mpeg4 receviers if you are leasing. Best deal I can think of for Prev Voom...

    Problem getting 942's

    Local retailers have or order through Dish Echo Sphere. I think there are 4 distribution centers. When you order directly through Dishnetwork on there 1-800 number (the one on www.dishnetwork.com ) They drop ship the 942 straight from the wharehouse bypassing the Echosphere center. I...

    offer from dish...this is better!!!!

    To get the $100 down to $50 One possible way is to use the club dish referal " was charged the $100 for the 61.5 dish install and got 2 811 STB. But they credited my account 49.99 for activation fee which was not added to bill, so I only paid $50 for the 61.5 dish. " They waive the...

    offer from dish...this is better!!!!

    The best deal is to lease the 811 for $5 a month as a new sub. Its called DHA. Under DHA the main dish and install is 100% free. If you are in a city with some of the smaller locals on the 61.5 degree sat (most east of the missipssipy (spelling) river are) so that sat (required for Voom)...

    Voom Switch - E* / D* Comparison

    I had both Direct TV and Dish also for a while. Dish HD got that " WOW! " factor from friends that came over. It kind of knocked you out of your chair. Direct was "oh thats nice"

    offer from dish...this is better!!!!

    Yes the 942 has one OTA Tuner. Right now all it picks up is Digital TV or HDTV. The specs say it will also do analog TV in the future (the old SD TV channels) in fact it even has check boxes in add channel dialog box for this. The specs do say you can not record analog channels though...

    Retailers sometimes dont know all the facts either as they DO NOT have real time order screens. They can take orders but sometimes they dont always happen they way they say they will with all the Dish promos and credits. If your have troubles call M-F only 9-5 Mountain time. Tell the CSR...

    Im thinking we should leave it this way it is for one more week. Some Users may only visit here once a week on the weekends and they may miss important information in the Voom forum. What if they are on vacation this week?

    No Walter L your missing a discount. Dish makes it confusing so there is an extra profit in the promo if you dont watch for it. It gets even more confusing when they have the Voom Promo and the Club DIsh promo. Folks watch your first Two statements to be sure. They are real time on line...

    Any rumors of Voom on DTV?

    Knowing Charlie and how he is so cut through, I bet there is a Dish Network Exclusive clause in there for a while. We need to see that contract, they are a publicly traded company so I would think it would be known in a 10 - k filling someday. No telling how long it is, maybe till the...

    Basically what they are doing on the VoomHD web page offer is giving everyone the SAME $49 off the activation fee that you get with the Club Dish referal program. http://www.dishtv.com/voomhd.jsp Some are saying that if you call in on the phone to get the 942 DVR (the one that also has...
