    Avoiding Mpeg 4 equipment failure I just had my service installed yesterday and now have the 924 hd-dvr receiver and Both dish antennas installed. I opted for the second antenna install at no extra fee due to the fact I live in an area where a second 61.5 dish is needed for my extra locals...

    DivineHD: Should it be "a la carte"?

    First off let me say I can't believe how close the poll results are. I'm not a person of "alternative lifestyle" but then again I'm not a homo-phobe as well. For me, Anytime your offered another HD formatted channel at no extra cost it is a bonus. I don't have to watch it, I could lock it...

    Which one of these descriptions best describes what you would have VOOM stand for if

    Sean, I think another poll option should be "Affordable HD Sat. Programming". That is what I think Voom's current sales pitch reflects and I hope it continues. "Not having to buy a Receiver, Free installation, and a nice programming package All for less than $55 per month" should be their...

    Which one of these descriptions best fits how you feel about VOOM today:

    VOOM is redefining the service Let's face it. I bought a very expensive TV. I want to watch the best Picture quaility I can. I work during the evenings when the networks are presenting 98% of their HD programming. There is only so much PQ a DVD player can deliver. If you want to watch HD 24/7...

    RAnT! I cant really tell huge differance with HD over SD with Voom

    G.i.g.o. Realize what Hi-Def is all about. LIVE events or Documentaries using HI-DEF cameras is what true HiDef is. That's why you can see the athlete sweat drip, that's why the wildlife look so impressive on Discovery HD Theater.That's what makes HDNews looks HD. Its' the format using Hi...

    Info on Plus Pack Switching and Billing Three days later and I've opted to switch my Plus Pack programming from Showtime to HBO. The CSR on the phone tells me about the charges that will be applied to my bill. The following numbers are slightly rounded to make it easier. There will be a...

    Best Plus Pack for HD Viewing

    For the first month of my Voom Sub I opted for the total package. Thinking I could choose a slimmed down subscription after one month I may have made a mistake. I noticed that the HBO, Cinemax, Showtime and Starz packages all offered the same amount of channels (each offering 9). The...

    Anyone Using 15ft/5meter DVI Cable?

    I'm in need of a 15ft or 5meter DVI cable. I ordered one from Pacific Cable but it did not work. The DVI connection on my receiver and TV checked good when I attached the 10 ft DVI installer supplied cable. The longer 5m cable only works at lower 480p/480i resolutions. Is anyone using a 15ft...

    VOOM DVI and Sony HDTVs

    Follow-Up on DVI Connection Issue So I had some time this weekend to pull the Voom Receiver from my A/V rack and install the 10ft DVI cable that came with the unit. As reported before I need a 15ft or 5meter cable to reach my HDTV and had opted for Pacific Cable 5m dual link DVI cable...

    DirecTV and HD?

    No Sat Service Needed With the amount of HD format programming that exist today FOX is an embarrassment to the HD Broadcast. Granted they're not HD, that so-called Hi-resolution Widescreen they do really isn't DVD quaility. If I was on the FOX board of directors and had friends and family over...

    VOOM DVI and Sony HDTVs

    This very well may be a dvi cable issue. I did not use the supplied cable that came with the receiver because of it's length. I need about 15ft. so I had bought a 5 meter from Pacific Cable. So before I call technical support I will relocate the Voom receiver and try the supplied dvi cable. If I...

    VOOM DVI and Sony HDTVs

    I hope this isn't beating a dead horse but I'd like to get some feedback from anyone using a Sony HDTV along with Voom's DVI output. My results are unwatchable, no picture period. I bought a Dual Link DVI cable from Pacific Cable and as far as I know my 6 month old Sony Grand Wega IIIxbr Lcd...

    HD Net on OTA

    I'm just saying that UPN 21 has apparently paid for the re-broadcast of a small amount of HDnet original programming. You can see an HDnet original program like "Across America" every now and then on the OTA broadcast of UPN 21. But at the same time, if for example you subscribe to DTV, tune to...

    HD Net on OTA

    HDNet is not OTA UPN 21's digital channel here in the Metroplex (Dallas-Ft.Worth) is broadcast out of Arlington. It is channel 21.1. At times they will Re-run some HDNet programming. This doesn't amount to much, maybe True Music, bikini destination episodes etc. They Do Not run any LIVE feed...
