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

    Yes, but just one. You can only record and watch one OTA HD channel at a time. There are 2 sat tuners so you can watch and record two sat channels at once. There is a link to a comprehensive review of the 942 in the Dish forum.

    Thanks!! A couple of my locals are on 61.5. If I sign-up I will have leverage for a free 61.5 dish.

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

    I love the $100 dish install that you NEED to get some "certain" Voom HD channels. If you are a past Voom customer you probably want the Voom channels. So the install isn't free, its $100. How do you find out if your locals are on the 61.5 satellite?

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    I fell asleep on the couch last night and woke-up during Conan. Wow HD Conan! I forgot that his show was going HD, NICE! Letterman is next. Now, will I be watching with a Dish DVR or Comcast DVR. Hmmmmm...

    $75+ a Month for Dish VOOM 15 and $149 Install--Nope, will wait

    If I check Comcast pricing on their website it is nearly $100/mo with a Silver pkg, HD pack, HD DVR. HD includes local networks, regional sport HD events, INHD1/2, HBO HD, Discovery HD, and ESPN HD. I couldn't believe it! This is the regular rate without promotions. If Dish gives me more HD...

    VOOM Shutdown Update

    Echostar has a deal with Cablevision to buy Voom's satellite, Rainbow 1, and their new uplink center. This deal is currently at the FCC for review. There has been no word on the fate of the Voom original programming. It may or may not be picked up by another provider.

    !!!!! STB Software Update (7.0b) Being Released - Starting Oct. 6th !!!!!

    Lock-ups are the most annoying part of my Voom experience. I had 2 yesterday with 6.2 and I don't want more with 7.0. The time to recover from a lock-up, reboot and guide load, is horrendous. Hopefully they will do more debugging on 7.0 before the wide release.

    So is fox in HD or just 480p *enhanced*

    That FOX screenshot looks like 480p to me. The Jets/Bengals game is in SD on CBS.

    Current Issues with VOOM's PQ

    Just noticed that sparklies are creeping back on CNN and Headline News. The PQ was great on 8/12.

    No lockups with new software

    I also get hangs while changing channels rapidly. Strangely, last night I was direct tuning a channel, made a mistake, quickly entered the right number and the STB hung when it changed to the correct channel. I always do a soft reboot to fix. I wouldn't mind if the PG loaded faster. I still...

    Yep, pixelation from Boston affiliate WHDH, 7. They aren't multicasting the SD feed even though I am receiving SD PG info. for subchannel 7-2.

    NBC Annoucement (VOOM new news on CH 593 or 594)

    This is exactly what happened during the 2002 winter games. A delayed HD loop of events, including full games, were shown on NBC digital. HDNet also carried the same material (I believe they co-produced). The only solution for an affiliate would be to multicast the SD and HD feeds for those...
