[VOOM] PVR by football season or else...

I will have to bite the bullet and buy the Tivo from Direct. I
thought I could patiently await Voom's PVR but I'm starting to rethink
my position. There are too many programs that I used to Tivo that I
forget to watch now. I was so used to looking ahead in the
programming schedule and recording things so I could watch at my
leisure. At first I balked at $999, but now I'm seeing it as
feasible. Am I the only one who feels this way?

RE: [VOOM] Re: PVR by football season or else...

Snappingfish, I'm sorry to hear you're having those issues. I'd be upset too
if I had them. As a voom user, nothing more, I hope you stick it out a while
longer while voom works out their issues in the firmware. If you haven't had
the chance to speak with Wilt, you should do so. He is very receptive and
helpful to those willing to accept help. I'm hopeful that it's a matter of
weeks before voom really turns things around.

Ken, perhaps your STB is stable. My receiver still stutters (known
problem), locks up (known problem) abd does not scan for locals
(known problem). I can not watch a whole movie (say 1.5 hours) on
Voom without a few video dropouts lasting a few seconds or picture
freeze lasting 5 - 10 seconds. There could be a few of you that are
not having or do not notice any of this, good for you. For us
others, I reserve the right to mention it or complain about it. I do
not have these problems with my DirecTv HD. When I got Voom, my plan
was to cancel DirecTv, now I think it will be the other way around.

[VOOM] Re: PVR by football season or else...

Robert,
I have had VOOM since last November and since I replaced all of my
receivers, received the 8200 power amplified antenna and got the 30"
dish, I would never have said that VOOM is rock solid. But I was
persistent in getting these upgrades because I purchased 5
receivers, four for my house and one for mt motorhome. I can now say
that I can watch an entire movie with no drop-outs and my wife is
not frustrated anymore about constanbtly rebooting. I don't know if
you arfe renting or purchased, but I would pursue the set up I have
now. I even receive Tuscon channels all the way from Scottsdale
which is about 150 miles north of Tuscon.

I feel for everyone who is still having issues, but you can get them
resolved if you have the time and patience to get it done.

Ken

[VOOM] Re: PVR by football season or else...

Snappfish,
My plan was to drop Direct as well. If things did not get better I
was about to throw VOOM out and sue them for the cost of the
equipment. I was having the exact problems you have mentioned. Now I
have direct for programming only, i.e. NFL ticket, RSN, SCI-FI's,
Children's programming, all the Discovery channels, History
International, National Geographic and the Science Channel. My plan
to have VOOM as my sole provider is not possible, not because of
hardware issues anymore, but because of programming.

I want to get a Direct HD receiver for the NFL ticket, which one did
you get?

Thanks,
Ken

[VOOM] Re: PVR by football season or else...

I have a Zenith SAT520HD and the new HD-Tivo (HR10-250). The
SAT520HD is the same as the Sony HD200 and is an excellent reciever,
especially for local OTA channels. The HD-Tivo is great simply
because I now can watch things when I want.

Regarding Voom, I think I will call them tonight and suggest that I
either cancel the whole thing, or get a new box with better software.

[VOOM] Re: PVR by football season or else...

Snappish,
Did you purchase the receiver or switch to lease? If think I
remember you said you switched to the lease. In that case you og
course you can cancel. If you purchased the h/w then you can cancel
but they won't refund any money to you.

Do you want to cancel because of VOOM or the repetitive programming
and the fact that they never followed through on their promise of 39
HD channels by 2/1, then 2/28 then 6/1. And now they don't even
mention the magic 39 channels anymore.

Good luck.

Washington Post

SpaceX has held talks with Boost's parent company EchoStar in recent months about launching its own signature wireless service through a deal with the company, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
Musk, the SpaceX CEO, has discussed the deal personally, meeting with EchoStar chairman Charlie Ergen last month, according to the people. The potential deal may result in SpaceX acquiring Boost Mobile or SpaceX gaining access to its network, which it leases from AT&T and T-Mobile US, the people said.
Access to those lease agreements would be a coup for SpaceX. The back door would allow Musk to make a play for a U.S. wireless market that equity research firm MoffettNathanson estimates is worth $235 billion. But the proposed service may need consent from those carriers for the service to actually launch, the people said.

He could deliver anything without actually owning, for example, watching the Lions game in my Tesla Y on it's screen via the YT app, while on the way to my future in-laws on Sunday.

If Musk really wants to buy Boost, he might get a great price once Dish Wireless is out of Chapter 11.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Saved OTA list on Dish can't be appended

I have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.

Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd​ scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.

It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list. :mad:

Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?

I could very well be wrong....it has been a LOT of years but back when I had a 722K it seemed like when you went back to the scan screen that you could just scan again and it would ADD those channels to the previous list or you could delete the previous results and only add the channels from the new scan.

I could very well be wrong....it has been a LOT of years but back when I had a 722K it seemed like when you went back to the scan screen that you could just scan again and it would ADD those channels to the previous list or you could delete the previous results and only add the channels from the new scan.

I am not sure about that but I do know that you could manually add additional channels just by entering the actual RF channel number and the older receivers would add the virtual channels to your list

Like I said.....that has been many years ago. Swapped my 722K for a Hopper in 2012.

It does seem like I remember having to delete the existing channels when we did a rescan. Back then our local stations KEPT monkeying around with things and it was non-stop complaints from customers about their channels not coming in. Got so bad that I stopped selling OR installing OTAs....something I had been doing since 1984 so you know it HAD to be pretty bad.

You made one of my points for me with this comment, Dishstaller:

"... local stations KEPT monkeying around with things and it was non-stop complaints from customers about their channels not coming in ..."

Balls
Bears. Took care of the elite Seahawks defense in a great performance.
NFC North. The entire division is 2 games above .500
Lions. Finally handed an L to that weird Minnesota team. Good vibes for Jack Campbell.
Pitt. Took the lead of the division convincingly.
Bengals vs Titans game. Fireworks game. Not sure it was a well-played game, but it sure was fun. JoeyB with 6 scores... and 4 turnovers.
Denver. They keep winning, man. Payton is a baller of a coach.
Packers. Thorough beatdown of the hard-to-read Panthers.
Jags. Demolished the hapless Colts.
Rams. The Super team finally wins back-to-back games.


Goats
Vikings. Took their first L. I know their D is insane, but their offense is setting back football to the 1950's.
Cowboys. Lost a 2-score lead vs. the Gardner Minshew-led Cards... at home. Embarrassing.
Browns. Playing for the division lead by scoring 6 points.
Bucs vs Falcons game. Setting modern football back to the ice age. Honorable mention to Tua Penix err ... Michael Tagov .... well, you know what I mean.
Bengals fans acting like Burrow just won the MVP after his performance. I get it. 6 scores is awesome. But. He also turned the ball over 4 times and required overtime to beat the 1-win Titans. So spare me the parade.
Chiefs. Not because they lost. It was a close game decided on the last play vs. a divisional rival on the road. That's always rough. But because of their whining over the CLEAR flag they got on the would-be winning play. They are used to getting the calls, and when they don't, they complain. Honorable mention to Mahomes for this quote: "I mean, at the end of the day, you have to go with whatever is called, but a lot of times in those big moments, the little stuff doesn't get called like that"... so you admit it was a penalty?? Just shut up, man.
Colts. They began the fire sale earlier in the week, and it showed. This team is cooked; Daniel Jones should go to the bench, and Steichen will be fired pretty soon.
Chargers. Wow. That's all I got.
Miami. For having the Pats sort of on the ropes and letting them go.
Eagles. Another team that should consider selling some assets. They are going nowhere.

Mahomes is the biggest cry baby I have ever seen. He thinks he's privileged or something.🙄

Just the same vilification as players like Brady experienced, a product of their success and largely overblown (just like them 'getting all the calls').

Well you see him more because he is incredibly talented. And yes, typically players try to spin things being in their favor. This isn't cricket where sportsmanship (except in Australia) is expected.

The NFL, for some time, has protected the marquee quarterbacks. Brady, Mahomes, Allen, Burrow - they all get the calls.
The lower tier QBs don't seem to get the same benefit. For instance, some of the hits that Darnold took from Chicago on Monday night would have been a flag frenzy if any of the marquee QBs were hit like that. And I am not in any way a fan of anything Seahawks related. I am a fan of balanced officiating - and that hasn't been the case for a while.

My team is not immune to this - Fred Warner laid some vicious hits in the Commanders game that I thought should have been flagged - one was, but they picked it up.

Not a good look on NFL officials.
