I haven't posted for awhile, but this post made me! This is the biggest misinformation I have read in a while. The first Tivo box was released for public availability in April 1999. I had one myself since June 1999. It was a Tivo box and made by Philips Electronics, who build the first boxes for...

FIOS will only be availeble in a few cities in the next 4 till 5 years. So, great if you live in one of those markets, but guess what, not everyone lives there. And yes, miss my Voom!

CP, I disagree with you on that. In my opinion he is. It is the game he plays over and over again. When Dish was dropping the Viacom programming, he stated that no one was watching Noggin and it wouldn't be missed. Till he got a bunch of mothers complaining that their toodlers were watching the...

I am getting sick of Charlie playing censor. Because that's what he's doing over and over again. He's a distributor and need to stay out of the contents of the channels. That's none of his business. He uses power where he shouldn't.

Is this comparable with the Super DMA's Voom used to have?

Didn't check this forum before, but did reset my SW64 switch. Not a smart thing to do. It's not recognizing 110 at all anymore, not the odd or even transponders. Guess have to do that again when sat is back.... But for now, 110 seems to be a dead puppy......

My credit card was on file, because I made my last payment 3 days before the shutdown. But today, I got the check for the refund. I really think Voom/Cablevision handled at least this the correct way. But I still would choose to have Voom and in that case I would be glad to give my check back...

Good to see you here. I miss your posts!! (You may be on one of the other forums here, but I rarely read those.)

This is great! Only hope that they will not cut the quality of the feed like they do on some of the other entertainment channels (like NPR, even Disney channel). Maybe it's just the feed itself to Sirius, but I hope that we will hear this in a decent quality.....

I still don't get that decision either. Especially, when you realize that they put a (close to) 17 Billion dollar cash bid on the table for Adelphia. Fell thru, but still they were able to make that bid.

GOt my statement on the 14th, and yes, there was the $449 loyal customer credit (as expected). But I miss vOom so bad....... still haven't turned on the HD and Voom pack at Dish, because it isn't as compelling. I miss some of the channels on Voom21 and their standard package. And I am even...

You should. I did and the CSR mentioned I had a credit balance of 400 bucks or something like that. Bought 1 receiver, November 2003. Now waiting till they finally start sending out the checks or putting it back on my CC. I am sure you should get back a bunch of money with 2 receivers, but don't...

Thanks Darrell. Found some info on AVS. I, for now, took the fan off and will monitor the box over the next few days. I also will buy me a much better, more quiet fan, just in case the box will start acting up. But for now, it seems ok.

Reason why I hooked up the old box...

I finally pulled ouit the attic my 6000 receiver (for the Voom channels and local OTA) and remember one of the reasons I hated that thing. The fan noise on the OTA module.... :mad: Anyone ever tried to remove or replace the fan from that module and receiver still working (not to hot)? Did they...
