Well I'm sure some of you remember me as one of Voom's more irritated customers. Sad to see the service itself shut down, the idea was great and if there was new management and a new direction I was thinking of going back. Too bad the lunatics burned down the asylum. Hopefully Dish will...

...channels they were so good I forgot about them. As far as HBO HD, Showtime HD, etc....those are available on any service and at the time I had D* their quality was equal to V* however it seems that has changed. E*'s HD Quality has never left me questioning it as an issue. As far as PQ...

...just for the sake of it being HD just doesn't make sense, we watch TV that we like, most of it is in HD, but alot of it is OTA and on the channels E* carries in HD. Some may ask why I still read this forum when I no longer have V*? Well My E* has been working perfectly so I gotta do...

Wow! Makes me want to run back to Voom? Who signs your paycheck :p

I'll try to keep it lite... If you REALLY want something to complain about, how about how no one's HD quality matches CBS's? I just really noticed from my earlier comments that they have the bit rate high enough where we do not get the high speed pixelation. We can dream...

I have faith, give it time :) Oh, and according to Voom, I'm still a customer, they still try to charge me and the dish and STB are still in my house even though I have a signed off sheet from the installer that came by last week. Does that count, can I still complain? :) I'm done...

I had Voom, and dropped it due to problems you can read about by searching under my username. I now have E*. 90 percent of the HD quality is identical. Granted I never watched much DiscoveryHD but I do notice on E* there is a little more motion pixelation. HDnet is just as good or better...

Regardless of the fact they do lie, about far more important things than the channel line up, the new ad's I've been seeing only claim 35 HD channels.

I'd be more amazed than anything. Besides all the BS the wife and I sat down and checked our viewing habits. We watch a few things on TV, all of them happen to be OTA or on HBO HD,Comedy Central, Sci Fi, and Showtime HD. So what really is the point of having Voom? Its nice to look at and...

...They left the dish and the antenna, I told them to, either that or bring out a certified builder to properly repair the holes in the roof. E* used the same mount and just put their dish up and used the OTA Antenna. My card is already cancelled. I have records of everything, they will...

Well they fixed one of the big problems with the multiple room deal for a dollar. As long as they keep it at 5 bux per box then its a good deal.

When I called D* to inquire about signing up the CSR, who was obviously reading off a cue card...for nearly 5 minutes, said the same thing. The first SAT is to increase HD content, the second for HD locals. Normally I would not put alot of stock into what a CSR says, but this was scripted so...

...bandwidth, blah blah blah, easier just to buy it, someone will buy this, or will be in those same financial rags as making a big mistake for letting an opportunity like that pass them up. What would be the kicker is if D* bought it, I might be turning in my E* equipment faster than I thought.

...per month, for HD, HD DVR, Internet Acccess at 3mbps, plus your digital cable station is a steal. I was at 149 for Voom/DSL, and now at 111 for E*/DSL but without the HD DVR and 1/2 the speed. Cable's ability to bundle deals like this and the fact they pretty much have amoritized their...

...the papers have finished Voom off, anyone who does research into buying Cablevision stock will get these news reports and stay back causing the share price to drop. Voom is a liability and hasn't produced at all. If E* is smart they'll wait it out, probably get it at a bargain basement price.

Thanks for the replies...the poll results say enough about Voom and what their customers think of it.

I have the SD DVR. Your right, the sat companies are keeping people in limbo, and D* probably has the most on the horizon but to get D* was buying into a product that may require replacement soon. E* was the best deal considering that I'm buying nothing and its open ended, so once all the...

The Virgin Records guy, he has bazillions, hell he plans on sending people into space in 5 years for joy rides and they are already designing the ships to do it.

If they got a backer, who was looking at this as a new start then they have just as much of a chance as they did when they first started. If you think they will survive on their own, how? If Cablevision dumps them they have no money...no one is going to loan them money without themselves...

...financial sense to continue for the majority of shareholders, they'd need to sign up 125K subs ASAP or have some other major announcement AND hope E* and D* sit on their hands. D* can bury Voom with a new Sat and a half way decent installation offer. Voom has just admitted to the world...

...door by now. I really did want to see Voom work out, but I can see after reading the CC its just going down hill. My hope and goal however is that the manager who jacked me on the promises they made to me, keeps his job if E* buys them, I'll very much enjoy that phone call looking for him.

...I work with 2 miles away gets a SWEET deal through Brighthouse for $105 and change, HD DVR, HD channels, 4mbps internet service, all the channels, blah blah blah... Had E* installed today...no its not Voom but it is decent and there DVR is a rocket. The Voom stuff is sitting on the porch...

Honestly I'd be amazed if Voom ever calls me back. After reading the results of the investors conference call and their report on the CC I think Voom has doomed themselves. No MPEG4 till late next year, and only for SD, even later for HD, no DVR, no room for sports channels and if they do...

I have pondered this whole Voom billing problem scenario... If their billing department is so screwed up, maybe there accounting department is also. I've added up my time that I've wasted on Voom between the phone calls and tech's who didn't know what was up coming over. Trying to find...

Neutron, I know...and I think D* is probably the safer bet as far as the future of HD unless E* does pick up Voom. In fact I would say E* has more equipment problems than V*, I never really had any problems at all with the box itself. However I'll try E* for the same reason I went with...
