Hi everyone,
Iam very new to Voom and satellite. I have been a time warner subscriber all my life so i decided to take the plunge and get Voom so i could utilize my HDTV. I was livid to find out D* Tv charged as much as $900 to purchase their HDTV DVR to only get 9 HD channels. What a rip off. I could understand if they had 40 HD channels, but 9. GET REAL D* TV. Thats called taking advantage of ppl who what to utilize their HDTV's. So anyways back to Voom, most of this satellite language will be new to me for awhile. First i had the most awesome installer who was the main Voom contractor who set up my system. I got all my locals immediately and have never had any problems so far. The HD channels put cable to shame. My only disappointment had nothing to do with Voom, but my tv because the installer said my DVI port on my TV was not working so i assume he used the cable component. I was upset because my TV is barely a year old. My question is: does the DVI port really make that much of a difference in your picture??? If it does is there anything else better then the cable component to improve the picture since i can't use the DVI?? Like i said, iam new to this satellite thing so if my questions sound stupid iam only trying to learn as much as i can and get the best possible picture i can also.
