    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. And, don't forget about that new elliptical dish we all heard about. Personally, I don't even need a time...

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

    ...they had a camera there, but the last thing they showed was a shot of the sunrise about two and a half hours ago (never even saw a shot of SSO). *To add insult to injury here, as I've been writing this, CNN showed SSO land and HDNews just showed a commercial telling viewers to "tune in...

    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

    ...off within the hour. Seems like they are on atleast an hour delay, regardless, it definitely is not live. Very dissapointing. :no :rolleyes: *It's 10:04am now, CNN is showing SpaceShipOne climbing to its seperation point; HDNews is running its loop and showing the Haiti story again. They...

    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...

    Voom promised me 2 months free, then charged me double instead

    ...Escalation Department, the $243 I saw on my account was a credit, not a charge (guess I missed the parenthesis around the amount). My mistake, Voom did come through and kept their word to give me the credit. Sorry for the mistake, and THANKS VOOM! *Moderators, you can delete this thread...

    Voom Outrage

    When I signed up for Voom last June the CSR assured me there was no transfer fee. I even had him double check with his supervisor before I signed up since we have been planning on moving soon. Now that we are actively looking for a new house to buy, and hope to move by Christmas, I really hope I...

    Voom finally upgraded my OTA. Went from 1 local OTA channel to 17! Complete Review:

    ...with similar, if not the same, complaints. Now jellison1, I am sure you will agree that these installer mistakes are basic and would apply to a D* install just as much as a V* install, right? So, even if Voom is at fault for not training their Installs, Inc counterparts fully, these incidents...

    My first Sunday watching NFL in HD on Voom:

    One word... AMAZING! :shocked :D D* can take their Sunday Ticket and shove it. I have more football today between CBS-HD, Fox-HD, my local IND-HD channel, and ESPN-HD than I could ask for, and all in increadible HD. Brilliant! I've had an HD TV for over a year and never watched a sporting event...

    Lehigh Valley, PA (Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, etc) Voom Review

    I live in South Whitehall (right outside of Allentown). I've had Service Electric Cable and RCN before switching to Voom. Signed up with Voom in June '04 and will be a Voom customer for a long time to come! I can't say enough good stuff about Voom, especially when compared to SECTV or RCN...

    Voom finally upgraded my OTA. Went from 1 local OTA channel to 17! Complete Review:

    Thanks for the replies. I was happy to see that ABC came in last night, however it is back to showing the "no signal" message today. It does sometimes break into picture, but only to pixelated, freeze, and then return to the black screen after a few seconds. While I've been trying to understand...

    MOOV instead of HD PPV?

    ...Voom has some plan of getting a retailer who will use it as a display). In their place: Add HDNet, InHD, RSN-HD, HD PPV, and up the bandwidth. With these changes, Voom would be unstoppable (IMO)...bwahahahaha. *No need to reimburse me for the advice Voom, maybe just gimme some free PPV...

    Voom finally upgraded my OTA. Went from 1 local OTA channel to 17! Complete Review:

    ***UPDATE*** The woman from Voom Corporate called me this afternoon just to make sure the install went ok! Voom is definitely making this customer happy. I now get ABC 6 (The only local network I was missing), making my total OTA line-up now 20 channels! I'm not sure if I'm only getting...

    Voom finally upgraded my OTA. Went from 1 local OTA channel to 17! Complete Review:

    ...The picture quality, even on my locals, is so much better than I ever got with my local cable provider (and I am sure it is much better than D* or E*). And the Voom originals, even though they aren't worth trading your locals for, are so much cooler now that I know they are extras on top of...

    Keep MOOV and 999?

    IMHO... Moov - If Voom wants to be original, change the name to Tank, play it 24/7. The music art stuff is just annoying, but the idea of having a channel to tune your HD set to and have it look like you have a fish tank when there is nothing on is atleast kind of cool. 999 - Why have a...
