    Voom Promo Specifics

    Comcast is coming out tomorrow to install...Hopefully, the 6412 receiver has better picture quality than the 6400 that I had before switching to VOOM. The picture quality on Comcast HD was great...but the SD and analog were just horrible!!! I hope bad that this has changed...I guess I'll find...

    Voom Promo Specifics

    Here is a conversation I had with the Dish CSR online via their chat window. You all should have received and e-mail detailing the promotional offer for VOOM customers, but there were a lot of details missing (from my perspective). Anyway, here is the chat conversation: Powered by SightMax...

    Anyone know what the real Dish/Voom deal is?

    I have Comcast scheduled to install Wednesday 05/04...but when I heard the news about the VOOM channels going to DN I was excited. I've now called the 1-800 number only to be given the same number to call twice. THEY HAVEN'T A CLUE!!! NOBODY can seem to state what the deal actually is!!! This...

    Cable Guys... VOOM maybe coming to you

    Can someone PLEASE (That has a clue) tell me what to do!!! I call the number on my VOOM TV screen to get the details of the offer from DishNetwork for VOOM customers. THEY HAVE NO CLUE and keep telling me to call the same number, which directs me right back to THEM DishNetowrk. AND THEN start...

    CNET.com: Death of Voom: we just weren't ready

    All they lacked was the DVR! So many in this forum were always opposed to adding SD content. I was not for the simple fact that the masses would not switch to VOOM without the basic programming they were used to. It almost caused me not to switch! Finally they added the last of what I considered...

    jumping ship over broken promises?

    I left Dish because of a year long broken promise to existing (longtime) customers regarding the 921. YES I love HD but I also love technology and I want to help VOOM. I can't convince new subscribers to sign up until they have certain standard programming (which they now have)...my latest...

    You won't have to VaVa tonight for your kids to go GaGa tomorrow...

    So...is there a verdict...NOGGIN require VAVA or no? I do not have VaVaVoom and the channes just say 'no info' and I do not receive but am reading others saying they're getting it. Risking a bitchy statement - I agree with subdude...some of these new channels should defintely be in basic or at...

    New Channels Added! (BBC, Noggin, etc...)

    Just saw NOGGIN added but says 'no info'. Anyone know if we will get this as part of the standard package or do we have to upgrade pacakges to get? They have just allowed many parents I know to be able to switch now...(if it's standard).

    DVR "special program" for charter members?

    The only reason I left DNetwork was the fact that they had promised the DVR921 to existing customers at a lower rate...they then wanted $999 after I waited FOREVER for the thing!! I left and I hold grudges!!! I hope VOOM doesn't make the same mistake. Pricing is everything...you can price...

    Possible VOOM new encoders

    I second that...It's very easy to armchair quarterback!!! (Not trying to dogpile you DarellP ;o). Let's let them work this out but appreciate that we get to watch and that Scott has a contact that is willing to inform us. I appreciate them "pulling back the curtain". That kind of visibility and...

    Info bar and plasma burn-in, see-thru info bar?

    Why doesn't Voom change the screen diplay on the music channels? I loved how DNetwork had their's. We never listen but used to all the time. 1) they have static graphics that do not change and 2) The horrible colors are too brightwhen we're trying to sit in the room with the lights down or out...

    Animania

    We did voice our concern at Vooms site about a month ago. They said they would take note of it and pass the suggestion along. I just wanted to post here too to see if others felt the same way. Now that they have HGTV...all my wife really cares about is FoodNetwork and NOGGIN!!! I have to say I...

    Animania

    I wish that Animania stacked their programing so parents knew when it was appropriate for their children. We let our daughter watch Henry's world, but then have to dive for the remote on the transitional 'short' that they put in there between programs. And, usually what comes on after is geared...
