Got mine, $428.xx - Makes the whole picture even clearer, but I still miss the Voom service, nothing will touch it for some time by the way things look. Charles, Giv'n the Voom left-overs to James- Com'on! Thought you were in it for the long run for us Voom'ers.... Afid the saga is coming...

Would you mind telling us how many receivers and if you owed a balance so we can try to get a idea on how much they are booting for the stb's? This is great great news!!! GG PS, I still miss my VoOm!

Thank you kind members that helped! GG

Sorry, It was on 5/26/05 I found the ref on another forum. GG

In Dish'es Charlie Chat from 5/26/05, they talked about flashing the voom receivers for Dish, and were looking into it, since there are > 150k recievers set for voom. Now if they could have just done that a month ago for all us voomers That wanted to keep viewing!! I really hope they do...

I have not got anything since the clock hit zero. Called about he charter member box credit and nothing there either. So I guess we just stay hanging. GG :(

Is the cam not the card itself?? At least in the case of NV, With a DVB decoder and a valid card I assumed that would get dish (With their blessing of course). As far as the title, it may turn out not to be a fact - I was only trying to start a dialog, if it turns out to be untrue then the...

Hi, Lilyarbile! glad to finally hear some constructive discussion on the subject!! I want to figure out too what the box is really capable of. With over 40k box's not far from paperweights I thought any info on possible other uses would be welcome. Please pm me and let me know where your...

Yes, it can with a software download! I rebut, I have seen many posts on this board where it was said the hardware would not EVER support it, Again all I am doing with this post is FYI If no one is interested in this info and only wants to argue then mods please delete, I will go away. gg

Only a FYI. GG

This has been dis'd many times on this board but look what I found while looking over datasheets of at the actual chips used in the DSR-550 (the voom receiver) The whole box is built around this chip from broadcom "BC7035", see the product brief here...

I called yesterday, no credit on my account yet. Fingers crossed, Any one else get/not get credit yet? GG

Glad to hear CVS is still out there for us? By jnardone: "Cablevision will eventually make good on their agreement (within two to three weeks according to the CSR's)" If this is true then I feel better already, However everyone that is in this boat with me should let your voice be heard in...

Voom Did not go out of business! Cablevision never separated VOOM from their business, they simply pulled the plug and ya did an f-u to us charter members, It is time to re-read the terms of agreement and get a lawyer involved, by numbers even a few hundred of us can make it happen, perhaps...

Us Charter Members were Ripped Off! Please all charter members that feel they were robbed by CVS, band together here- we have a real issue and I for one am sure unless we let CVS know in numbers we will be swept under the carpet. GG :mad:

Ok, so everyone here just wants to suck up and continue to pay for more equipment and programming. I did the math and even with all the so call perks along the way it still costed $120 a month for the basic package and one plus pack, No one here feel slighted at all?? I feel sold out with...

I have to say that I am a little (well alot) pived over this switch over thing, us charter members layed out a grand or more up front and with out receiving even two years service I have figured out I have payed an average of $120/mo and did not even have the vava package. I feel voom owes us...

As it stands, EPG (Electronic Program Guide) will not work with no sat signal. Very limited EPG is on the OTA signal anyway, most OTA box's are tied to sat signals for EPG so I would not expect anything there. I have now left the sat unplugged since I started this thread (about a week) and...

This thread went south (and north), Mod, Please Move the diplexer part to another thread and also the contest, give them new threads. I meant for my thread to continue only IF the behaver of the receivers change or is different then my findings. Thanks! GG

Tech stuff first, As it stands right now you can unplug the sat input and unplug the receiver and when repowered the OTA still works with no guide info. I can't say for sure if there is a kill date embeded in the system if no sat sig is received in a certain amount of time, but for now...

Watching it now on PAX on DTV (yes on dave) 11:30pm 3/17, All kinds of great puffing, offering $1 - 3 room deal, 2 months of VA VA Voom and free 1year sub to a Sound & Vision hdtv mag, promo on the off-air antenna install, really good marketing and BOO to you na-sayers! Will get a rip from my...

JL, see this link on Rainbow I http://www.skyrocket.de/space/doc_sdat/rainbow-1.htm It has capability to supply all 36 transponders if needed, how be it not all @ double wattage. Right now it's loafing up there sharing it's dutys with E* bird. On the short term E* wants it for backup...

Rainbow I has more to offer then just VOOM! Let me bring up a technical point of the rainbow I satellite, Voom only uses 14 or so of the 32 Freq. assignments allowed for the 62.5 slot. There is like 40 TWT tubes on board, enough to supply all of voom and a dozen or so more transponders (Vooms...

I am having Problems with 7.37! I got the download a day or two ago and now have the following problems Signal @ 97 Using component @ 1080 I get long audio dropouts and short video dropouts (black screen). Sometimes the audio goes dead for 10+ seconds, I had to switch channels a few...

This is a open letter to NBC regarding their coverage of the 2004 Athens Olympics in HD. While I applaud the 24 hour coverage in HDTV I am surprised at the lack of consideration of your HD viewers by denying us real-time and primetime coverage. The decision to separate your HD (DTV)...
