E* Is Part Owner of Voom Just found several posts that indicate this rumor is true. It was said that in the 1st QTR Earnings call for E*, it was stated that E* is a part owner in Voom. The percentage of ownership was not disclosed, nor was it made clear as to whether or not these channels would...

Vlad, I heard that Dish no has some stake in Voom. If this is correct we will not see Voom channels on D*. I am trying to find some confirmation of that rumor. What I have heard is a rumor that D* will create its own Voom like HD offering, made up of FOX content. This sounds like some...

Cable Feed Split for Tivo Guys, I bought an amplified splitter (must be plugged in to an electrical outlet), and actually saw an increase in PQ. Cable does degrade when it is split, but guess what. . . you split cable as it comes into your house and it goes to all the rooms you want to view...

It depends on the source. Each HD channel has different compression rates.

Monthly Fees If the prices for Adelphia are $7.99 and $4.99, then you guys are either getting a good deal, or discounted since you have one tuner. I paid $4.99 per HD DVR for three months, and then $9.99 monthly thereafter.

Motorola Box Info I called my tech contact at Comcast and he confirmed that Adelphia was behind on the firmware update for the dual tuner activity. He explained that this was once on the Motorola boxes during testing. Once active, "swap" will switch to the unused tuner. Since you have the same...

Doesn't having a dual tuner make missing Voom a little easier? In my case, I would say yes. I can get a sample of the Voom stuff at INHD1 and INHD2, plus I think those of you on Adelphia also get HDNET. I noticed I watch the SD Tivo less and less, and teh HD DVR more and more. :D BTW...

WOW! Great news! It seems that Voom really has pushed teh competition to the next level. . .

It is a Zenith HDV420, and it works with all HD antennas. It is going for about $150 online used, plus shipping. Since we are in the same area and on this forum, it saves me the trouble of posting the ad and shipping it. As a courtesy, I can sell it to you for $125. I won't post it until I hear...

Voom Forum Will Stay After April 30th Guys, I just recieved a PM from one of the moderators, and he informed me that the forums will stay up and running. We can keep posting and keeping each other informed here.

Comcast 30 Second-Skip Remote Control Hack You can remap any of the buttons on the Comcast silver remote control. From what I have heard, all of the Motorola boxes' remote controls allow for discrete button codes. I am using theses feature on a Motorola HD-Dual Tuner box. Once programmed on...

Thanks for the update. I will work on this over the weekend and try this on my Treo 600 and the Sony PSP. I hope to take 2 weeks off fram traveling to play with the new electronics and networking interfaces.

Check Ebay and Craig's List for HD OTA tuner boxes. In my opinion, there are too expensive when you buy them brand new. I bought a new TV with an HD tuner built-in, so I will be seeling my old HD OTA tuner on Craig's list this wekend. I bought it right before Voom, so I wasted the money on...

I asked one of the moderators if the "Voom In Your Area" forums can be moved or replicated elsewhere once Voom shuts down. Perhaps an "HD in Your Area" forum. I pm'd him since he has helped me a lot in the early days of Voom. I will let you know what I find out.

Truqui, thanks for the information. I have not tried that yet. Just curious, how long does it take to transfer 2 hours worth of television?

Tivo and Comcast Reach Partnership Agreement! (Old News) Guys, Just in case you missed the announcement a few weeks back, Tivo and Comcast reached a partnership agreement. Legacy Tivo boxes are being refitted with cable cards, and perhaps we (Comcast and Adelphia) will be able to get HD...

BTW, I spent some time at Circuit City playing with the DirecTV HD Tivo, and I was very disappointed. The HD is very weak. Several artifacts and grainy. As long as there is little to no movement then the picture is decent, but far from desired. With any movement the pixelation is pretty bad...

TNT-HD Added To Comcast Today! I wanted to let those of you with Comcast know that TNT-HD was added on Channel 204 this weekend in Pembroke Pines. The Comcast Tech informed me that TNT-HD would be on one of the following channels depending on your service area: Channel 771, 182, or 204 I...

Comcast HD DVR and Thoughts On What To Do Next. . . I have been away from the forum a while since I have been traveling. I am upset to see Voom go, especially after buying a new 60" Sony. :( I just sold my Mitsu big screen last week and upgraded my set. Just a few thoughts on some of the...

Since the stand alone Tivo's are SD, they do not have a guide for digital OTA channels. Tivo understands the analog versions with an analog antenna and cable, but not it's digital counterpart: 4-1, 6-1,10-1, etc. The "-1" causes the guide issue. Technically, Tivo should be able to work with the...

Tivo Duplicate Channels Vlad, Go to the preferences and set-up menu (customize "Channels I Receive") and deselect the Voom channels that you do not want duplicated, such as TNT. Then you can change channels on Voom and still let the Tivy record. When I had set up the Tivo, I opted only to...

VOOM Lives! Dolans Are Purchasing Remaining Assets! YES! GREAT NEWS!!! See the full story here: http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/050210/105819_1.html A New Thread has been started called "Voom Is Here To Stay!": http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=47766 P.S. I am still keeping my...

Congratulations on the new addition to the family!

Comcast/Time Warner Joint Bid for Adelphia - Tivo Works with Voom Vlad, Telemedia is owned by Adelphia, and has begun taking over control of all Telemedia cable companies in South Florida. This process started in December. I could not find any press releases for the specific offices in our...

ReplayTV gives you better PQ since it outputs in 480p, but you have to be computer savvy if you want it to work with Voom. Replay does not support Voom at this time, and requires some software hacks. Tivo supports more services than anyone else, and the most user friendly for the family. I...
