Oh, Grasshopper, you have much to learn... If you read this forum often you should know that CSRs are the LEAST reliable source of information, right below crystal balls and divining rods. But don't worry, it will all be fixed in "two weeks". Right, gang?! :D

I agree with Klen, but you left out one "camp" CAMP A$$HOLE

I agree with TheTimm... It's Voom or a combination of OTA and DVD's.

No complaints on HD... But the "red-sparklies" on TBS last night were terrible.

I believe it's more of a security issue... The sales rep I had (back in May) asked me three times if I had a land-line phone, and stressed that it was required, not optional. Someday someone will figure out how to "clone" a VOOM receiver (if they have not already done so). It will be little...

No, that's not all you are saying. Read your post. You obviously have an agenda. What is it?

Your inexperience is showing. You obviously have not compare the two.

I Love It!!!!!!!!! RedUFO got NAILED by the IP POLICE!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!! :D :D :D

I have, Barth... Some OTA's look good, some bad, some ugly. Same for VOOM, IMO. I don't think the best PQ I've seen was OTA, though. Many of the original channel events seem to excel, at least in my eyes. I like the PQ on Rave and Monsters as much as any I have seen, but it changes with...

Your comments will be missed, ChetK (Most of them, anyway) For Some of us, Darrell, those issues simply do not exist. I was in CCity (where I bought my current Sony RP) just the other day and compared the images on all the HD units on the floor. (My Sony was THE BEST on the floor when I...

Not true... Two boxes, 3 months+, no lockups. :)

How did VOOM defraud them? Did VOOM promise to authorize this equipment? - NO! No Promise = No fraud.

Oh, excuse me, lostcause. I thought we were discussing VOOM's policy on allowing activation of equipment they did not sell directly to the customer, not just one STB? By "outside", I meant outside of the normal requirements for activation. And it could be a box someone fabricated in their...

VoomVoom... So you don't mind sitting on hold for an extra 10 minutes while they deal with problems related to a box they did not sell? I also assume you don't mind if they increase rates to offset the cost of handling the extra call volume? I think it's a wise policy not to allow...

At least you're not bitter... Who do you work for? :confused:

I'm not going to comment on the legality either. My guess is the "no second-hand STB" rule is justified in some way. Two possibilities: 1) We already know about the first generation boxes that were swapped out due to technical issues. I doubt if VOOM wants a wave of those surfacing to be...

I agree, wasch. I've heard it called the 2% rule. Two percent of all the people you encounter are just plain unreliable, regardless of their position or field of employment. Things get distorted sometimes because the 2% group tends to get 90% of the publicity. I was lucky and got a guy from...

Time to move on... Conjuror, you fed up with VOOM? MOVE ON TO ANOTHER SATELLITE SERVICE. Sean, you fed up with this thread? KILL IT, AND MOVE ON. You have every right to. I don't know how anyone can assault Sean after all he has done to help others in this forum. I joined this forum...

Have u emailed Wilt? He has helped several others in the same boat. Also, there is a note on the front page of Sguys (Tuesday's Newsbits) that reads:

Some movies are not supposed to look "lifelike" I think Phone Booth is supposed to have that washed-out bluish tint to it. My DVD does. Kinda like "Three Kings', where it all looks gold. The DVD talks about the filtering used and the "artsy-fartsy" effect they were after. I saw some of the...

Perhaps 720p is the native resolution of your Pioneer? I don't know, I'm just asking. That could explain the picture looking better with the VOOM box on 720. (Maybe the MOTO downconverts the signal to 720 better than the Pioneer does?) You're right, Vurbano. Pretty brutal first post... :confused:

Show me a thread without them! :)

I would like to agree... I posted my experience in another thread. My CSR was VERY helpful, even though he sounded a little "new" to the task. I was completely at ease by the time my ordering was done. He took his time and made sure he did everything right. He must have, my install went by the...
