    ...and they said it would never happen...!!! E* merging/taking over/partnership with V* Vlad...sorry but the installer did the programming and I didn't see what he did. Oh, I now remember he left a manual for the remote with codes for other A/V equipment...so I'll check it and get back to...

    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    I have been thinking of splitting the cable but am afraid it will lose PQ as well... Also I have been wanting to try the DVI output on the box but that's where I have the Voom STB on my TV...I am sort of skeptical of touching anything on the Voom STB for fear of losing OTA. Regarding...

    I've got to tell you guys...my PQ on HD channels with Adelphia are on par with Voom. I have not split the cable so maybe that's why your's may be slightly inferior. When I say Voom I mean the Voom Sat channels, not the OTA My HD locals via cable although they are very, very good in PQ are...

    Great Gary, so you also got an HD DVR...I thought mine was an error from the installer or something. FYI my problem with the DVR is that Adelphia doesn't have service in my area yet for the Dual Tuner DVR...actually any DVR for that matter. I spoke last night to tech support and that's what I...

    I'm not that happy any more...!!! Well i got home and played with the HD DVR a while. I don't think this unit is completely active... :mad: If I record one channel, I'm supposed to be able to watch another, right? Well if try to change the channel, it tells me that the recording will be...

    Yes...I was expecting just a plain ole'HD box but got a kick a$$ unit, I think! The installer was positive that the DVR funtion wasn't enabled on it but it is. Dual Tuner HD DVR...what we were supposed to get from Voom eventually!!!

    Adelphia HD Cable installed today and SURPRISE...!!! Well guys here's my situation so far... I haven't read anything on the main forum so I don't know if this is unique to me or not. The Voom STB is obviously not getting sat signal but is working for OTA. Anyhow, Adelphia came over this AM...

    Thanks skakusha...I PM'd you... Are you currently using OTA via your sets tuner or viewing via Comcast? Which is better PQ overall?

    Cool, let me know how it goes with the PDA BTW, if the locals in HD don't look as good via Adelphia I will certainly be looking for a receiver, what are you looking to get for your OTA tuner? What is it and will it work with the Voom OTA Antenna?

    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    With my wireless network, an hour of SD takes a little more than real time but it took like 9 hours for the 3 hour HD Phil Collins concert...!!! :eek: The PQ is outstanding though... Reading the Tivo Forums it's pretty much what most are getting with a wireless network. Wired network is...

    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    Yes, the lack of ABC, WB and UPN is not good but what other option do we have without going to a satellite provider? On the other hand if Voom let's us keep the STB and OTA functional, well that be great for me as my HDTV doesn't have an intergrated tuner. I don't know what inputs/outputs...

    I have my Tivo networked via wireless router and I just started burning DVD's via Tivo To Go...it takes a little longer I assume, than with a DVR/DVD burner combo, but it works like a charm! I recorded via Tivo the Phil Collins Farewell Concert on Rave, transferred it to my computer via Tivo to...

    Hey Skakusha...welcome back...you had a lot to catch up on but you're up to speed and on a roll...!!! Thanks in advance for any insight on the Comcast take over of Adelphia. I would really like to be abreast of when all this starts to happen, specially because Adelphia in my area is lacking...

    I called the 800 number (1-888-683-1000) Don't know if I got any specific discount by being a basic cable sub but they did have me as a customer even if it's through HOA. I actuallly had Telemedia's Digital Box (Motorola) a few years back. No commitment. The Ultimate Pack includes everything...

    Just called Adelphia and setup install for 5/2/05 Everything...Ultimate Pack, HD and Spanish Tier all for $56.40+tax. (only 9.95 install fee) Pretty much the same as my current Voom (1 room Voom Package plus HBO and STB rental) but I get all the premiums, not just HBO. They also have HDnet...

    Well...NOW WHAT? Time Warner/Comcast won the battle and are purchasing Adelphia...so to going from one failing company to another (Adelphia) is really not fun although with Adelphia which, hopefully will later be Comcast in my area, may be good...they have the deal with Tivo and the HD...
