    Not Happy with Dish HD

    Yes, my new 811 I installed yesterday was factory pre-set to 480p. After I changed it to 1080i, the picture improved. I have not tried 720p on my DLP yet.

    Are You Vooming Again On Dish Yet?

    I am Vooming again as of 6:30 PM today! I am waiting on my SW21s to add the 110 dish for the HDNets.

    It's yours

    I am holding onto mine. The OTA still works! I tempted fate until this morning when I finally disconnected the satellite coax from the multiswitch.

    HD ONLY Package Pricing at Dish Network..

    Hello, I only want HD services from Dish. Before considering the 411 upgrade cost, I will have saved (12 months x (36.99-19.99)) or $240 which easily pays for the receiver. I have no commitment. Hopefully, with the new receiver, I would continue a la carte. I supplement HD service...

    HD ONLY Package Pricing at Dish Network..

    Hello, I am getting an 811 off eBay to do the a la carte plus access fee. Is there still an activation fee? If so, is it the same $49 for DHA?

    So, what does "NO COST" mean in Dish-speak?

    Maybe he does not want to work for his brother....

    VOOM Programming beyond May 1st?

    For about a week there was no programming data for these channels in the Zap2it guide beyond May 1, strangely now there is. A few channels still show no data.

    VOOM Shutdown Update

    It seems plausible. As much as when you press the Voom button on May 1, you will see a Dish logo and transition to Dish message above the channel guide.

    VOOM Shutdown Update

    not all possibilities are foreclosed, though some clearly are

    VOOM will be back -- on DISH!

    You have to figure that E* has to do something in response to D*'s new capacity and the likelihood that NewsCorp will use its programming resources to provide some exclusive HD content like Fox Movies HD, Fox Sports World HD, National Geographic HD, etc. on D*. These are just some guesses. I...

    Who is actually in charge of the VOOM shutdown process?

    I see that satelliteguys gets a mention in the article as well as two mods!

    VOOMERS already switched to another Satellite service (not Cable), happy with HD?

    I already had Comcast. The HDTV PQ on Comcast is very, very good.

    Not that is means anything, but has anyone noticed?

    I am still seeing Voom interstitials and promos like the liquid metal one and the spring promo touting 21 channels of HDTV bliss on HDN and some of the movie channels. I will observe the other channels more closely. Since Voom owns the channels, they could broadcast them in the clear to...

    DirecTV Offers Rebate to Voom Customers

    You know that the Spaceway birds were originally committed for broadband? The market forced them to reassess the purpose of those birds. It will be interesting to see how Directv executes. It is always nice to have another choice in HDTV, specializing in quantity and quality.

    Voom Marketing Offer Received 4/19/2005

    I just received in the mail a "Get Voom in 3 rooms for just $1" offer signed by Dave Smith. It came in a glossy dark blue envelope with a brochure. I am ready to sue for emotional distress.

    Voom Box is DEAD and no OTA

    You realize if you watch Voom until the very end you will have seven days to show the ending to someone else... (sorry, obscure Ring reference)

    Adelphia and Time Warner listed as Cable Providers on MonstersHD.com?

    FWIW, I submitted a request to Comcast to add Monsters HD, Rave HD, Rush HD, Equator HD, Worldsports HD plus some combination of their HD movie channels. It can't hurt to ask.

    Adelphia and Time Warner listed as Cable Providers on MonstersHD.com?

    The "Home" link no longer grabs the shutdown message but rather http://www.monstershd.com

    What about purchased receivers??

    Contact your respective state's Attorney General's consumer protection unit. State AG's also have antitrust units, but no one here made use of them.
