    Billing on Debit/VISA Check Card or other?

    I cut mine up! Check cards do not have the protection of credit card. Yes the banks are good for the most part when there is a disputed withdrawal, but they don't have to be. Much of the rights you have with a credit card and diputed charges comes from federal law. You do not have this...

    Faith Restored in VoOm

    maybe wishfull thinking?? I have real doubts that VOOM will install a rotor, but there is a possibility, (why does this sound like the line in Dumb and Dumber?), and all we have to do is sit back and wait. I figure I'll end up with a rotor and a larger antenae when my local start...

    Faith Restored in VoOm

    Let us know if you get a rotor with your antenae upgrade. My towers are in three different dirrections, but so far only one is broadcasting digitally, so I have no problem, just no networks on VOOM.

    ESPN Blocked out during NHL Whats going on VOOM:((

    sports is a mess Trying to figure out blackout rules, and geographical boundries when it comes to sports is almost impossible. I live in Wyoming. If Foxsport Rocky Mt. carried the Avs/Sharks game, I think I would have been blocked out, but I got the game on ESPN from VOOM and as good as it...

    Espn Is Here!!! (Official: 7 ESPN Channels added )

    but the Sox lost I did enjoy the picture but not the game. :mad: Still wonder about other feeds. I really thought the ESPNHD was great, good color, sharp, and I can see more of the ballplayers complexion problems than I ever wanted to. :rolleyes:

    Espn Is Here!!! (Official: 7 ESPN Channels added )

    how does it compare??? I watched the RED SOX vs TEXAS game on ESPNHD, and I thought it looked great. However, all I have to compare it to, is DISH MLB Extra Innings in SD or ESPN Sunday Night Baseball in SD, or Fox Network in SD. Has anyone seen any of the other possible cable feeds for...

    color of pillar bars

    I did a reboot last night while looking for ESPN. It was late and I just left the light bars as they end after a reboot. Might fooling with the light bars 1081, 720, etc change the colors?

    color of pillar bars

    as I said Maybe I am just losing a bit of my mind. I didn't watch much SD stuff on VOOM. Mostly just the HD wide screen stuff. I use a C-Band dish for Networks and ESPN (untill this morning) and guess I just never really noticed the black pillars on VOOM. Don't know how to do it but...

    color of pillar bars

    Either I am losing my mind (always a possibility) or the side bars in 4:3 have switched to black on my set rather than grey. This is only in VOOM. The side or pillar bars are still grey for DISH and C-Band. Maybe I just never watched 4:3 much on VOOM or never noticed it but with ESPN the...

    snow storm problems LNB buildup

    snow fade and snow buildup I really had a case of both last night. Even with a fully clean LNB I would get poor reception, with signal #s in the 70-80's. With a LNB full full of snow I would get no picture and signal #'s in the 60's. Even my C-Band needed to be cleaned out twice last...

    snow storm problems LNB buildup

    The snow was covering the receiving surface of the LNB. The weight of the snow was negligable, but I can see every snowstorm that puts more than a 1/2 inch on the LNB will need to be brushed off. We get over 100" of snow a year.

    snow storm problems LNB buildup

    It snowed again here in Wyoming. Last night we got about 6-8" of heavy wet snow. As expected my voom power number went down into the mid 60's, and I lost picture. While I was out brushing snow out of the C-Band dish I looked at the VOOM dish. There was no snow in it, but the LNB had a...

    Voom on ESPN hmmmm.

    You are correct. ESPN HD is not overwhelmingly in great jaw dropping HD, that is a bonus when it is. Regular old ESPN, and ESPN news are what I turn to to catch a score or listen to some mindless sport new. We need ESPN now.

    OTA towers in different dirrections

    What happens with VOOM when your OTA broadcast towers are in three different directions? I at present only have one channel broadcasting in digital format, with one set to go on line shortly and more (hopefully) to follow. The broadcast towers are almost due north, due south and due east...

    Voom on ESPN hmmmm.

    Sport Center will be in HD ? When ESPN gets to their new studio will that mean highlights in HD? The little bit I get to see of HD sports on VOOM'S HD news shows me that I want it. Is VOOM just leading us on???? Who knows but they need ESPN really soon. I don't understand the...

    Dates For ESPN-HD & TNT HD on VOOM?

    I get lots I subscribe to MLB extra innings, and live in Wyoming. Not much to worry about for local teams here. I am a Red Sox fan and so far I have been able to watch every game. I wish it was cheaper, as I don't watch much of KC or LA or other such teams, but as far as the Sox go I get...

    It finally rained

    glad to hear that I'm not too worried about wind. My BIG dish is 9 ft across and it is only about once every two or three years that the wind causes problems. I have to assume that it is easy to build a solid windproff small 24-30" dish.

    It finally rained

    Wind and location My dish is on the east side of a house that faces square with the compass, i.e. font door is south, back door is north, dish is on the east side. Any high winds I can recall are all from the west. Speaking of snow. It is about 70 degrees today, but snow is possible into...

    It finally rained

    Been waiting for rain and or snow to see if my VOOM power numbers would go down, and how it would effect my picture. It finally rain and snowed. The snow did not have any effect, but the rain dropped me from a 93 to a 67, and the channel changing became very slow. this was really light rain...

    What's your main complaint about VOOM today?

    More Sports On Voom ESPN better get here soon. (not that I am going anywhere), along with a really complete sports capability. I have DISH NETWORK just for the MLB Extra innings package. When it is all said and done that is $300.00 for a season of baseball. (150.00 for the installed...

    Bigger Dish???????

    I agree I doubt my STB is shot. CSR , (and I have dealt with about 6-7 of them now) really have one set of solutions, unplug, hold the red button, etc. Snow is predicted sometime in the next few days and I will see what happens. On a clear day my signal strength is 93. I will check...

    Bigger Dish???????

    I don't think my STB is shot, and now I am in the odd position of hoping that it will snow one more time. That assumes that I lose the picture again. The cost of a 30 inch dish is not that much and I am sure I could manage the install myself, but if VOOM will do it I would rather go that route.

    Bigger Dish???????

    I have had VOOM for about a month now and overall I am pleased. The fight on Saturday night was as good a picture as I would guess is possible, bright, colorfull, and detailed. Generally I don't have much problems with VOOM other than last weekend. I live in central Wyoming at approx 5300...

    So why the PG loss????

    If I could TYPE!!!!! It drives me nuts when people use abreviations, it is even worse when they put in a G instead of a Q. Yes I meant PICTURE QUALITY :o Why is there a drop lately in PICTURE QUALITY???
