Voom is gone?

Are your channels gone on Cablevision. Mine are now not available.

In certain areas I believe they were moved over to switch video. If you have a box, thier on a different channel now. If you have TIVo or Cable Card tv say bye-bye. You need a box.

All of my channels are the same. Hopefully this means they will be adding some new HD soon.

Recently Dish Network, the only other US provider of the 15 Voom's, dropped them without notice. At that point Voom lost more than half their potential viewers.

This was very bad for Voom. The Cablevision agreement with Voom expires June 30th with no word that it will be renewed. That may mean the death of Voom.

I am a Dish sub (not in Cablevision Country) and after 2 weeks without Voom I am missing Monsters and Rave the most and a few other channels as well and so are many other people. Check out the Dish HD forum page and you will see I am not alone and more about the story of what happened.

There are too many repeats and no marketing of themselves so they have been dubbed "the channels you never heard of" in the DirecTV forums. If they die, they killed themselves and I for one am missing them already.

Question: Because you must have the Cablevision converter box to view them, does that also mean they are being placed into a higher cost HD package? Dish recently did this and a court fight started initiated by Voom as they wanted to be in the most basic package. That was just a part of the problem between Dish and Voom.

VOOM is free with Cablevision as is all the HD they carry! Just need an HD box or HD DVR box.

Looks like CVC pulled the plug on Voom in Northern New Jersey...

Do you have a box? I know you need a box to get VOOM, so I am curious if you are not getting it because you don't have one....OR you have a box and you are still not getting them.

Pjc,

Not sure if you are asking me or CVCShareholder. I have a SA4250HD and SA4200HD in my place and I get the VOOM channels still. If CVCShareholder doesn't get the channels, perhaps he/she has Cablecard which won't do SDV, which VOOM is being moved to on all Cablevision systems.

Sorry, meant for CVC....I have the 8300HD and I had the VOOM channels last night.....haven't checked today. I can't imagine they're gone though. I must've hit the wrong "quote" button.
