    New channels coming soon?

    I agree with Alto, Most HDTV owners seem to be satisfied with 3-5 HD channels from the other providers and many more HD channels is not enough reason for those owners to jump ship, if voom cannot offer alot of the other SD channels that they enjoy watching, there is no real need for them to...

So expecting this answer I have a new question, cause i am going to get voom...

    West Facing Porch

    West Facing Porch

    Ok, here is my delima: I was anticipating my install today for a week now. Trying not to get my hopes up which did not work. My porch faces west and north and I am on the 3rd floor. I tried to check the azimuth and elevation and it would be close pointing the dish back towards the...

    Need grounding options

    at this point I am desperate...my only other option is sbchomeentertainment with no HD at all and no plans to get it. I will be willing to sign my life away if i have to, to get HD programming and the satellite installed.

    Need grounding options

    not really, cause DirectTV and DISH also require Grounding wires so it may be moot for VOOM service but not any other satellite service :) I just ordered a really nice 3 coax input surge protector as a hopeful final option. We shall see how that works for the Voom Install on the 8th. My...

    That might be because custhelp.com is not a VOOM or CVC domain but a CRM company.

    Let them install?

    I have nothing now and an install of March 8th. I am going to stick it out and wait to see what happens. You never know, the outcome might come out as if nothing has happened from a customer standpoint.

    Need grounding options

    At my complex there are plenty of 3rd floor dishes mounted with no external grounding wire and I don't see why a surge protector isn't good enough for the installers. I guess if push comes to shove I will do a self install and have the technician come over push a few buttons, call the account...
