This is true. The HOA can not tell DFWHD that he can not put up an OTA antenna. I live in Allen, about 35 miles N of Dallas. I went to Fry's and bought a $24.95 roof mount antenna. I get every one of the local Dallas stations way up here and they are all clear. By this I mean no breakups. The HD...

OK thanks. I have been away from DirecTV for over 4 years. Since Voom went under I've only had OTA HD and DVD's. I was coming back to D but didn't want to wait for an installer since I can do it all myself. Bob

I am sorry if this has been answered before. I tried the search feature but I was told I had to enter more than 3 words into the search, even though I was. I just moved into a new apt. where the previous tenants left a 3 LNB dish up for HD. I am going to a store today to purchase a new H20 or...

Well I am A Voom droppie. In other words all I've had is OTA HD since Voom ceased operations. No satellite at all since. Just OTA HD and Blockbuster DVD's. I have been sitting back and watching this DTV HD thing for a long time. I want satellite HD again. I told myself that I would give D until...

Does anyone know if the new DVR has a 30 second skip button? In the Best Buy description all that is mentioned is rewind and instant replay. On my Replay unit I can jump forward to get past commercials.

I for one am glad for this forum and for the information here. Years ago before Voom I had D's HD service. And it was terrible back then. Same complaints as I read here now. Since Voom has folded I have just stayed with OTA HD and SD from D. I was thinking of getting back into HD from D but not...

If I want to continue to receive my HD locals over the air like I do now, will I need to put up the new 5lnb dish? I don't want HD locals over the dish. I don't want DirecTV messing with compression on my local channels. Thanks. Bob

I can't answer for the original poster but I did read 71% in the Dallas Morning News this morning. Bob

Amen! Exactly how I feel.

Sean I'm glad to see you here posting about D's PQ. God I miss Voom! Since Voom went boom I've stayed with standard def. I keep reading the forums and just can't get myself to spend the money on a piddly amount of HD. Eventually I'll go with someone. But in the meantime I appreciate your honest...

52 foot? No wonder why it looked like crap.

I notice drop outs on WFAA also. The only other problem I have is with channel 27 which I can't get at all.

Ouch! Hey I know a Steve Dodds in Plano. That's where I am too. You wouldn't be him would you?

It doesn't even apply for Dish Commercial either. My apt. complex is serviced by Dish Commercial and since I have an N facing balcony I can't put a dish up. Not being able to get the offer with Dish Commercial is a ripoff as far as I'm concerned. I'm just going to stay with OTA.

I'm in Plano. I don't have a problem with Fox but I do with channel 5. It comes and goes whenever it pleases. The signal strength is 94. I just toss it up to another Motorola problem.

I won't do Dish either. Back in 1999 I signed up for Dish. After only 3 weeks my receiver crapped out on me. I called Dish and they would not help me. They told me I had to purchase another receiver at full price. I cancelled and called DirecTV. I was a happy D customer for 5 years until I went...

But can you use the Voom dish at 61.5 for the Voom channels? I have never had Dish either.

Well since they did not allow self installs, Voom or their installers will have to come to my home and collect the receiver. I will not go out of my way to ship it to them. They do not have my SS# or my CC#. I will not ship it to them.

I know the Voom channels will be on 61.5. But how about the other HD channels like Discovery HD, ESPN HD? With my apt. balcony I can only see the 61.5 sat. Dish Commercial serves my apt. complex but they only offer SD. It would be good if I could sub to Dish Commercial SD and then get HD from...

I agree. And what makes me mad is that Voom refuses to say there is a problem. They keep telling me they have Discovery HD so there is no problem. Liars.

I couldn't have said it better. I'm sick of the drama too. As for the new announcement of the Voom 21 or whatever they will call it, big woopie. I never found anything worth watching on these channels. With the exception of a few movies on Monsters HD. But how many times can you watch the same 6...

I finally got through to a CSR. He "hit" my box and all of my Voom channels returned except for Discovery HD. He has no idea why we don't have it. He says it's coming in fine at their location and there is nothing else he can do. So I have everything back except for Discovery HD. My signal is at 94.

Ok smartie. How do you explain what has happened? I am posting info about what has happened to me and apparently a few others. If you have no idea why this is happening then STFU.

Sorry but I have to disagree. If the average customer thought Voom was so great why were the amount of disconnects so high? And why could they only get 40K+ subs? I had my problems with Voom and loudly voiced it here. But I did like Voom and I am sorry to see them go. I was one of the unlucky...

This happened to me also last night. Today I still only have OTA. No Voom channels. I think they are turning people off at random. Not all at once on the 30th like I was hoping.
