I would call Voom and cancell your account and ask them to come get the receivers and also take the dish down. The CSR will make a note of on your account.

I received a letter from voom yesterday in which is stated that voom will be ending service on the 30th. It also said that all I need to do as a customer is search for a new provider for tv broadcast. No mention of returning the boxes or dish. Sounds like they aren't going to waste their time and money to get back a useless piece of hardware.

I am going to box up all the Voom equipment and place them in the attic. I am thinking about using one Voom stb for OTA since my cable company doesn't have all the locals in HD yet.

i doubt they will want the dish back at this point just the recievers.

It's been stated that the returning of boxes as of right now is only rumors!! There has been no official word as of yet on returning the Voom receivers. Voom has not made an official announcement on this and it was stated that any announcement on this would come about probably this week. I know CSR's are saying that they will indeed pick up receivers, but we all know that they have been wrong in the past, especially on the Friday after the board meeting when they were stating that everything was a-ok and that they weren't going to shut down at all.

yeah but to give the CSR the benfit of the doubt i am sure they had not been told anything at that point .

I would have to be contacted by VOOM itself before I release my STB or other equipment to anyone. An installer calling me saying he is going to pick it up will not work. VOOM will also have to agree to remove the dish as well. I did not pay for it and don't want. Now if they have an agreement with another provider as an incentive...that I might look but I would have to hear it from VOOM via emal or letter.

Its cheaper to print in black and white than color.

Yeah they are really keeping costs down over there..
Imagine they saved a few cents per mailing.. Now imagine the cost of shipping back the Equipment (at least 15-20$ a box via ground).
Maybe its a sign that they plan to abandon the equipment.

The unknown here is if Voom actually owns the equipment or if they lease it from Motorola. If they do lease it then they will only get credit from Motorola for returned units. If they own them, or if Motorola does not want them back, then it would seem sensible for Voom to abandon them.
