    VOOM charges me $125 4 months after I quit; then says I can have it back in 2 months!

    I cancelled my VOOM subscription on Nov. 2nd. It took them until Jan 5th to pick up my receivers. I complained a couple times about the long delay in the disconnect process, but the CSR's always put me on hold and came back with a reassurance from their Supervisors that I would not be charged...

    HDnews LIVE coverage of Spaceship One Second Launch 10/4 @ 10am EDT

    Sean, you thought right. According to the HDNews commercial, it was supposed to be live. And, somewhat ironically, HDNews is still playing the ad now, even though CNN and the other news channels (even my local ABC channel) have shown SpaceShipOne already launched and landed. Embarrassing. :(

    VOOM Execs.. give us an outlook!!

    Dvlos, I hear ya. Voom - Whats the deal? We are your loyal customer base here. Keep us informed. Give us something to look forward to. Give us something to tell other future Voomers about.

    What happened to HDNews' "live coverage" of the SpaceShipOne flight?!?

    I was really excited about watching the live HD coverage of the SpaceShipOne flight that HDNews had been advertising. CNN showed SpaceShipOne take-off, climb to over 50,000 feet, launch into space, and is now showing it line up with the runway, just about to land. HDNews is showing last...

    HDnews LIVE coverage of Spaceship One Second Launch 10/4 @ 10am EDT

    10:57am - SpaceShipOne has rocketed into space. According to unofficial reports and the instruments in the craft itself, CNN is reporting that they seem to have made it! Very clean flight, no rolls this time! HDNews - just got done showing clips from yesterday's Eagles game, now showing the...

    HDnews LIVE coverage of Spaceship One Second Launch 10/4 @ 10am EDT

    10:45am - CNN just announced they are 5 minutes away from SpaceShipOne's seperation. It has climbed to over 50,000 feet. HDNews... still running their generic news loop. Ironically, as I am writing this they just played a commericial telling viewers to "tune in later today for live coverage of...

    HDnews LIVE coverage of Spaceship One Second Launch 10/4 @ 10am EDT

    HDNews is NOT live... even though they say they are! So I woke up this morning and turned on HDNews to watch their "live" coverage of SpaceShipOne. I was watching for a few minutes while I was getting ready, and the whole time it said "live" in the upper left corner. The reporter was talking to...

    Presidential Debate?

    Well, there was no HD coverage. But, considering they argued over the height of the podiums and the soles of their shoes, the campaigns probably thought the HD would show Americans a little too true of a picture of the candidates. Didn't matter in the end anyway though, my local OTA networks had...

    Presidential Debate?

    Will Voom broadcast the Pesidential Debates in HD like they did with the Conventions? I loved how Voom had dedicated 24/7 coverage of the DNC and RNC Conventions in HD on channel 999 (might have also been on HDNews Channel 100, I forget). Does anyone know if they will be doing the same thing...

    Is there anyway to use PIP with Voom?

    Is there anyway I can wire my Voom system in order to use my TV's picture-in-picture feature? I'm guessing the answer is no, but I figured I'd ask just in case. Thanks.

    A Few Post OTA Antenna Upgrade Questions (Lower Signal Stregth, Missing Channel, etc)

    Voom upgraded my OTA antenna last week. Overall I am extremely happy with my Voom service now. I went from not having any local network coverage to 17 local channels found when I scan OTA signals now! They upgraded me from the Sensar II to a ChannelMaster 4228 amplified 8-bay antenna, at no cost...

    Voom Program Guide shows wrong information for one of my local Independent stations

    Just as the title says, my Voom PG always shows the wrong schedule information for one of my local channels. The channel in question is channel 69 WFMZ (IND) Allentown, PA. They have 3 sub-channels. The first (WFMZ-DT) is their normal programming, the second (WFMZ-DT2) is a regional weather...
