Thread: Thank You letters to VOOM and Charles Dolan

Mr. Dolan,



I cannot add anything more to what has already been said, other than another "Thank You". I really have enjoyed Voom since signing up in December and hope I have further opportunities to do so. I'm particularly keen to see WorldSportHD find a home on any platform as I really enjoy the sports content they provide.

Regards,

Shouldn't there be a thread like this that goes straight to Charlie encouraging him to keep many of the HD offerings that Voom has/had with his newly acquired bandwidth?

Mr. Dolan,

After reading all the letters to you from fellow VOOMers, I have little to add. I have been a big-dish viewer since October 1988. When VOOM launched in October 2003, I was curious but decided to wait and see. In March 2004, my system was installed and I've enjoyed it very much. Not long after, I de-authorized most of my big-dish programming and made VOOM my primary supplier. It has continually improved in stability, channel variety and picture quality. Two of my friends have become subscribers due my constant prodding. I'd like to express my thanks for your vision and support. Your staff is the best. I hope you can find a way to keep it going. I'll be here to the end (if any).

Mr. Charles Dolan,

I was shocked and saddened to find out that Voom may be going away. I really thought, and still hope, that some way could be found to keep the service up and running. As an HD enthusiast since 2001 I really appreciate the amount of HD programming broadcast by your company. The future appeared bright with an expanded channel line-up and networkable DVR. Thank you for your enthusiasm and commitment to building a better satellite company.

Dear Mr. Charles Dolan,

Thank You for your dedication to VOOM. I have been a subscriber for 10 mths now and I love the service. Voom truley is the best out there for HD. It will be missed.

Dear Mr. Charles Dolan,

I wish to thank you for providing my home with the best quality entertainment available today. During the past I have tried other satellite providers only to be disapointed and unhappy. As a VOOM subscriber for the past 9 months I can say that I am finally happy with my choice of program provider. Normally I would balk at spending over $50 per month on programming, however your service is so superior it's cost is well justified in my home.

I will stay with VOOM until the last bit of information is transmitted by Rainbow DBS and either go to a new satellite location where the VOOM service goes or become a Digital Over The Air only household. Once you have had the best there is no going back to something subpar.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr Dolan,

Thank you for forging ahead while others wait and see. I appreciate all the hard work you and the people at Voom have put in the past 2 years. May your vision still yet be vindicated.

Mr. Charles Dolan,

I have been a Voom subscriber for a mere month and am dismayed to find out that the service may be discontinued. I have had other satellite service for many years, using it as entertainment as well as it's educational value. I am a homeschool parent with 5 children, and after 13 years of educating at home, I am always looking for new educational opportunities. So, aside from the fact that Voom offers the most fantastic Hi Def entertainment hands down, your Voom exclusive channels, especially Equator, enhances our learning experiences to the degree that we are not just watching television, but experiencing the world. Even if other providers pick up the ball and carry more HD channels, nothing will equal the quality of the Voom exclusives, for I have yet to see anything that even comes close.

My brother, sister-in-law, and I are all new HD television owners and have all subscribed within the last month. My husband, a firefighter, (and a hopeless electronic illiterate) has spread the word about Voom HD throughout the fire stations, for even he has seen the difference. I think Voom is on the cutting edge of something great and I hope it is around long enough for others to catch on and enjoy. Voom has been the best kept secret around, I'm sorry we did not know about it sooner. We will stay until the end.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Dolan,

I was a long time Directv subscriber and switched to VOOM last Dec 2004. I have to say I am heart-broken by the decision to sell the satellite to DISH. The picture and sound even in the Standard DEF modes was so much better than DirecTv. And the HI DEF .. well simply remarkable.

Maybe you could give your son a Dish Network system for Christmas, but then again, if he 'got it' .. we wouldn't be where we are now, would we?

I could only hope that DISH would try and emulate some of the great things VOOM was doing .. but knowing Charlie's MO for mediocrity, I doubt it.

Best wishes to you,
