Ok, I'm more than pissed at my installation. I'm in Nashville TN. First they were supposed to be there before noon, then at 11am they called to say it would be between 3-5pm. I couldn't be there, so my wife stayed home. I get home and find my drop ceiling tiles not replaced, coax hanging out of the ceiling, they spliced into the existing coax in 3 places (2 hanging out of ceiling), left only 1 remote for 3 receivers, didn't hook up my only HDTV connection...

I have a simple question. I have never had a multi room sat receiver hookup - just a single room. If I get a DISH three room set up - will the installer use my existing cable lines that run to the three rooms? (Split after coming out of the dish).

Cheers,

I've ran all the wiring and been using my current box at 2 different locations. Here's my install question.

My Voom dish is in my back yard on a pole. One RG6 cable goes from the dish to my guest house. No problem there. That's the way I originally had it installed and just watched HD movies in my guest house.

For the new receivers, I ran a second RG6 cable from the dish (from the other LNB output) to the outside of my house. I have an amplified...

I am about to order VOOM and have never had a satellite installed in my life ever. What should I look out for or ask of my installer, I want to make sure it's a professional job, but how do I say that without being rude and still make sure it happens?

Should I ask for anything specific when I place my order?

P.S. I'm in AZ(Phoenix) if that narrows down installers, etc...

We talked for a minute on the phone and she said that an installer would be out in about an hour. He showed up around 11:20. I was starting to wonder where he was. Before he came to the apartment he said that he has to go and talk with my apartment manager. Bad idea, espically where I live.

I called last week to get an install and have been very disappointed with the service. I made the mistake of calling on the "800" number rather thatn finding a local dealer/installer. When I called, a very polite lady took all the information and advised me the first install date was more than 10 days out and could not be done on a Saturday. I later found out it was being done through Installs Inc. Considering that HD TV is not as afordable as everyone would...

I had been visiting this forum for some time now and after considerable debate I choose to take the jump and finally order Voom today. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. Excited because I can't wait to watch all of the HD programming and nervous because of all of the horror stories associated with a new install.

One is an older Sony Wega 40'' direct view. I know it will end up with component because I don't have DVI on it. But my other screen is a new Pioneer 4350 plasma. It has two HDMI and three component (I think). It doesn't have DVI. Does that mean I will end up using component on the plasma or does the receiver have DVI->HDMI cable? Or is there a newer receiver that has HDMI. I know my moms receiver doesn't have HDMI.

Thanks in advance.]]> 9 Flash Sale Popup
