Hey, Darrell, thanks for the info. Now just need to figure out what we need to set up for HD. Looks like another antenna, some type of switcher and another wire through the wall. Suppose a local installer could do all this for us. Then Dish would supply an HD STB? And "authorize" us to...

No Skeeters on EquatorHD!!!! But if there are no Skeeters... how will we be able to enjoy and the great outdoor shots on Equator? Thanks again, Darrell, for your perspective even if you do live in Western Oregon! Still enjoying OTA FM under mostly cloudy Seattle skies, Gill

Thanks, Darrell. This is important info in making our... decision. At this point the signal is from Rainbow 1 I assume so PQ should be great. We'll see what happens should Dish decide to transmit them off of another sat. However, rather than watching HD this AM just listening to OTA FM...

And thank you, Jim?, for all you people did. No doubt... Lori is going to miss training you all as well. Listening to FM this AM under mostly cloudy but warm Seattle skies, Gill

Vicki, you're still up! Thought you'd be under the table by now. Yep, sad indeed but was a thing of beauty until the last. Will be sorely missed. So, still a little bit enjoying OTAHD under cloudless Seattle skies, Gill

Should have known they would get the PQ up to... the "DarrellP Standard" right at the end! At least for the Dish 10 they might want to put their best foot forward. And have the remaining channels up to "DarrellP Standard" as well to sell to other potential buyers. Still sort of...

Yep, we enjoyed VOOM until the bitter end. Will be missed. Still have OTAs here in Seattle as well. Seems strange that VOOM just turned off in the middle of HDNews. No goodbye to loyal VOOMers. Nada. Nothing. Just like we never existed. Had hoped for a little more class from VOOM even...

Of course, we Pacific Northwesterners have to stick... togeter so we'll be watching here in little ole Seattle where we are at this moment... enjoying HDTV via VOOM under cloudy Seattle skies, Gill P.S.: How can you watch VOOM will all its PQ issues? Just joshing you DarrellP.

us or has the PQ gotten better on some of the VOOM 21? A short time ago we watched the African Garden of Eden on Equator and the PQ was right up there with the best we've ever seen. Each hair of the lions stood out separately and the color satuation seemed right on the money. Browsed through...

Vicki, you are a class act! Even if you are an... alkie and druggie! Always enjoy your posts. Are you retired at 40 or do you just have a patient boss? Or maybe you are the boss! Still enjoying HDTV under clearing Seattle skies, Gill

Yes, we'll be with VOOM until the last minute! Been watching a lot of VOOM trying to absorb as much as possible before it's gone. Not a big TV watcher but have greatly enjoyed VOOM since 12-12-03. We've checked all the services available to us here in Seattle-cable is Comcast-and none of...

Thank you Lars, the other posters on this thread! This info will help us make our choice of another provider if any. Currently, we receive all the network HD feeds OTA. Doen't seem as though there is enough additional HD available on either ExpressVU or StarChoice to warrent signing up...

Hey, Iceberg, thanks for all your effort for your... southern cousins! Still enjoying HDTV while we got it under mostly cloudy Seattle skeis, Gill

Actually, the only call we've received was from the installer, Robert Merino, who was supposed to install our upgraded 24". Initially he called on the upgrade to say that he had never gotten the antenna and then we tried contacting him several times but never heard back from him (another...

Same here, Marcel. We've enjoyed a heck of a lot of HD that we wouldn't have otherwise. I'd say the $750 (later reduced to $499) was a great investment for us. Do I like "losing" this money, no, as we don't have a lot of "entertainment" dollars but believe it was well spent. Doen't take...

Can't add much to all the positive posts about you, Sean. You have done a wondeful job moderating this forum (along with Ilya's timely posts). Just keeping the programming thread up to date must take a great deal of your time. And you've quickly answered some of my private emails not all of...

Thanks, hehdaddy! Needed that even though we're still... enjoying HDTV under clear, beautiful and gorgeous Seattle skies, Gill

Can someone explain why they are cancelling early? Since in the worst case we'll have to pay for the service through the end of the month why miss the programming until then? Still enjoying HDTV under mostly clear Seattle skies, Gill

You're kidding, of course. For a minute... you had me going! Still enjoying HDTV for the moment under mostly clear Seattle skies, Gill

"I think it was most definitely money well spent since the OTA section will still work" Don't count on the OTA section still working. This has been discussed to death but the bottom line is it appears VOOM has to send a hit to the STB to have it continue to receive OTA. For now still...

The VOOM STB may or may not receive OTAs after... the shutdown. Apparently, a special code has to be kept in place to allow continued reception of OTAs. Still enjoying HDTV for the moment under clear Seattle skies, Gill

Here in Seattle NBC 5-2 is doing weather 24/7. However, I prefer the detailed forecasts available right here while I'm typing. Still enjoying HDTV while sitting on the edge of a rainstorm (local radar) in Seattle, Gill

Sorry, Patrick, couldn't find your post but agree with... this great idea of having a live chat about one channel! We've seen PQ all over the place as well although my partner, Alex, said that the PQ was better last night, particulary so on the VOOM exclusives as the motion artifacts had...

Well, DarrellP, even though we have to suffer with only a 96" screen we still enjoy VOOM's HD channels. Yeah, I know we've been through this before but after checking out some of the other services-Comcast and Direct (haven't seen Dish in detail) we really don't have a choice and greatly...

Hi Sean, My partner said that he noticed audio dropouts Tues. but not last night on sat channels. However, while watching The West Wing last night I counted 3 or 4 dropouts which seemed about "usual" for me. I've reported dropouts before as we seem to have had them off and on for the year +...
