    One Unhappy Camper

    Right Vicki. Everyone's got their own "stuff" and it's all important. I realized after all this I was just too fixated on the entire thing. Let the roller coaster continue. I'll wait to get back on. Plus: I've learned there are still a lot of good helpful people out there eager to...

    One Unhappy Camper

    There were absolutely no tech issues. The problem I guess came from not wanting any International channels but Voom. Then for some other reason we got into why I couldn't activate the 180 at anything but the full price etc.. I don't even have any returning costumer issues. I had it...

    One Unhappy Camper

    I'm in LA With all the problems with WOW number and CSRs, I got a local Dish retailer who could give me the Voom#1 deal: 2 811s, A180@19.99 for 3 mo, free HD pak for 6 mo and free install reusing my Voom dish adding Superdish. Did the job this morning. The tech verified my order and...

    Dish / VOOM deal ( NO DEAL )

    Tell me it involves more that just HD locals and might include V21 and waiting I will do.

    Locals on other Providers

    With all the stink people made about Voomers needing antennas for OTA, now it seems our world was again far ahead of the rest. With Voom my locals usually come with two feeds 7.1,7.2,7.3 etc. When I got locals over my D* it was just one. Now with HD locals do the other DBS providers, E*...

    VOOM Channels I'll Miss - How About YOU?

    HDNews especially the weather. Just what I need to know w/o the BS and presented in a clear and concise manner. Anamania the kids never looked back to the Nicks, Disneys, or Noggin. Ultra for the the Architecture shows Gallery never imagined we would find so much good programming there...

    This needs to be said of V21 Again and again and ....

    Yes, Voom 21 are great any which way BUT I still know they make one of the most powerful HD packages. Let's face it you've got to give to get. Give Monsters, Kung Fu, to those who need it, I don't, but I want Anamania, Majestic, Ha Ha, Family Channel, Rave, Gallery, AucttionHD, Worldsport...

    Express Vu/Star Choice Satellite

    You seem to know the system. I emailed them but I'll ask you too. Is our stb compatible? They tout just re-pointing D and E dishes but need new boxes. Could Voomers go the other way, keep our boxes but get new dish? Also on StarChoice it seemed to read as if their HD came on only at...

    Express Vu/Star Choice Satellite

    Wow the "Star Choice" version is the choice for us in the Western US. This is a great find for me. Thanks for the lead. I'll even get to see the CFL again. My service will change but at least my box will look the same. Maybe I can actually reuse my Voom boxes?! :) What a great forum

    Dam dunno where to shop for new service...

    I'm at a loss in L.A. too!!! TimeWarner, D or E. It's almost like being stuck voting for just the Dem or Rep. Two sides of the same tired old coin. D hasn't added any real HD since I left in 2003. E of course is in the same place. TW is all bad fuzzy signal for digital and to me cable is...

    Picture Quality NOW!!!

    It's amazing the Grand Canyon size gaps in people's PQ experiences. How could any tech draw conclusions based on the information here? There are great days and some bad but my Voom PQ as a charter member has been and is as good any day I had with cable or DirecTV. It also looks much better...

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    In LA,CA: BBCA, History International, CNNi are still grainy. The new kids channels have improved. Fine Living looks ok. However there's a lot of jittery channels currently. But DHD 601 as well as any of the other HD channels have remained crisp on my 43" Pioneer Plasma and 17" LCD. I'll...

    Misc channel questions?

    OK the fluke of getting 342 has ended. Checking Lyngsat Rainbow 1 see 341 Fox Sports Net HD for FL added. Florida people how is that? What happened to WGN HD? My zap2it guide still lists NBC DT at 321 as well as the NBC affiliates at 593 and 594. Anyone still get those...

    ****My rant against PQ on New Encoders****

    Lab is Great! Groove the best background channel for adult fun. As a former Time Warner and DIRECTV sub the Voom pq has never been any worse than nor poor any longer than I got from the two previous providers including the current OTA signals. The Voom audio though has always been far...

    Loving More Voom

    Midway through March and more good keeps coming. I know if I were king things would happen differently just more HD but as a customer I'm still enjoying all that is happening. I'm getting even more for my money. For the record here on the west coast, my overall quality of service does not...

    70 HD Channels????

    More Voom exclusives seems obvious. I look forward to them. For newVoom, exclusives will be an integral part of their branding. Exclusives quickly provide the needed HD content and most of all insure that newVoom is THE- HD leader. On April 1 I can't wait to walk into all the...

    Call me clueless once again, but

    SUNsport and FSFL were definitly blacked out in the west coast. However now I get SUN. FSFL still not available.

    Another dissatisfied Customer

    For those reading these posts deciding on Voom, I've had big problems out here in CA. But... Voom from their website to the phone Customer service far surpasses my TimeWarner and even DirecTV experience. The first install went bad but Voom was on the phone, followed up and I was able to use...
