It is democratic country, man! Between PlayboyHD and a happier wife, the choice was an easy one. But I am very depressed about moving back to cable. It is history going backward, and I don't watch TV much any more...

It is hard to believe for me too. There is a burning mark on the mount of the OTA as well as the dish signal module. The cable from the dish to the receive got burned and becomes useless. The lighting caused a surge, hit the voom receiver, and pass the surge to the power system though the...

I am not an expert to give you a good answer. I went up to the roof and see no wires except the cable. So I called Voom to check it up, but the lighting came first...

I have no problem with VOOM programming, and in fact very happy with what I got. But as I mentioned in one of my earlier post, the installer never ground the dish, and finally, lighting hit us... I am in a process that asking InstallInc. to pay for all the damage, and VOOM promised to help...

Chris, Thanks for the education. According to eyewitness when everything broke down, there was a loud noise outside the house and a orange flash. No sign that the lightning stroked the dish directly. It is possible it happened the way you descript. Thanks again.

Here is what happened. This weekend, after a storm (not a big one), my house got fried. The computer router, AV receiver, VCR, VOOM receiver, Furnace, all Ethernet cards on all connected computers... I just found out that my 2 neighbor house got similar damage. The reason is unknown for...

VOOM + Samsung HLN617W; Denon 3803; KEF Q5/Q1/Q9C/PSW2501; etc...

Sean, You are famous for your greenish, futuristic picture. Seems you changed twice recently (personally, I won't put my real picture on web site, especially family's). May be just me, I miss your old icon, which become some sort of spiritual thing of this forum :) I assume I spoke for a...

I will be nice if you have another TV to try on. My guess the problem is the TV, rather than the DVI cable or STB.

IMO, only PlayboyHD worth $14.90/mo, VOOM won't sell its channels well (if sold separately). I will definitely drop VOOM if they do that.

Most installers will perfer to use your existing cable wires already build-in to your house, so that they only need to run the cable from the dish to the cable box on the outside wall of your house. I kept my regular cable with basic cable service as backup, and the cable modem for internet...

I think VOOM also should get rid of the phone line requirement.

It seems most people dissagree with my comment, and I am not supprised. I just want to put this thing in a practical perspective. 1. The calibrated set in my local store is a top-of-line Diamond Mits, and I dislike the color; 2. There is a very practical reason for the commercial art...

I tweak my TV (Samsung HLN617 DLP) by myself and very happy with the result. Talk about "noticable" difference, you can achieve that by adjusting Brightness/Contrast... There is a calibrated Mitsubishi in my local store, it looks to me like a dust coated. I am very picky on colors based on my...

What is the phone line for? My installer didn't do anything about the phone line, and I have no intension to try it out unless there is a benifit. Would anyone please educate me what the phone line is designed for? People even mentioned that VOOM to enforce the phone connection... I am...

I don't think 8000 is a pretty number, as one of the happy VOOMers, I think we should help to keep VOOM alive... Let's tell our friends about VOOM!

I kind of agree with people about Cinema 10 channels. But I guess VOOM has them for at least two reasons: 1. beef up the number of HD channels for marketing; 2. Place holder. I like astrossuperfan's comments that if VOOM can get some more popular movies on Cinema 10 channels, things will be...

I have Voom for a month now, and like most of you here, I like what I got for the price and will stay in. I guess Voom is monitoring this forum closely and I'd like to start this thread to tell them what Voomers want beside fixing their known bugs... Here is my wish list: 1. In the program...

In short, if Comcast provides more HD programs in a reasonable price, I won't get VOOM. I am very thankful to VOOM for providing this competition that bring more HD content on the TV and also bring the price down.

Once a while, I got a stutter image for all channels, and it seems many VOOMers experience this problem. Because the OTA signals suffer the same problem, it is obviously a receiver problem. Has anyone have a good solution for it? Any words from VOOM? Cheers!

Finally got my VOOM installed... Separate lines for dish and OTA; optical for audio; BOTH DVI and component for video, and conposite output to VCR... 1. The setup process can NOT be done with DVI. The installer doesn't know that. Thanks for the info provided by this forum; 2. The new...

I'd like to start this thread for VOOMers using Samsung DLT TVs. I hope we can share our experience on the usage, installation, connection, tweaking, HT system, etc. My installation is (re)scheduled this Friday and I don't have much input for you for now. I am planing to connect VOOM...

Can't agree more! I visit THREE Sears stores trying to get a sense of the PQ. The first one was in Maplewood, MN. The PQ looked horrible compare with Dish by its side. I have to said it was worse than a 5 years old video tape; The second one in St. Paul, MN. No Signals at all. The...

Bonndockbill, Glad everything works for you now! Would you please share with us how to "deep cycle" the receiver? Thanks! rh
