    Just gotta vent on Comcast quality

    Thanks for some feedback Volume thing is not only me in Peabody but a buddy in a couple of towns away has the same problem also. I wasn't crazy about VOOM's programing but everything was digital whereas Comcasts is not. I don't use the "On Demand" because I go with my DVD player and rent from...

    Comcast receiver DCT-6200 question

    Thanks Neil Info was much appreciated and settings were where they should be and what a bummer. I was so hoping something was off and a correction would make me happy but wasn't so. Wish I had never had VOOM and I might have been satisfied with Comcast but VOOMs picture quality (not it's...

    Anyone here taking advantage of the Comcast promo for E* subs

    Ditto ditto ditto same as jgantert and bruce - they did not even want a bill - said they were just supposed to do the install and paperwork wasn't up to them. Work order had dish buyback on it though - so guess the CSR took care of the particulars at their end. I was a previous VOOMer. I did...

    Anyone else a little bit pi$$ed about the voom/dish thing?

    Ditto ditto ditto Yah, I'm angry like many others but it just shows that D*, E*, and cable really don't care about getting VOOM subscribers. I'm angry also because all of them don't give a rat's a@% about High Def programming also. Guess that's what makes America great. My Voom box can go...

    Voomer moved to Comcast – initial thoughts

    Comcast installed yesterday Comcast installed yesterday and no big deal. I had wires already run and all they had to do was install box. They changed all my ends to their own at junction area (said they had to do this - policy). They did not change ones entering the set(s). I only went with...

    I did it... ordered Comcast

    Voomin Jim Curious that you have to give your Voom box to Comcast. You are the first one I have heard of that happening to. Is the box Voom's or did you buy it? Offer is supposed to be dish buy back but for you is receiver buy back evidently. Evidently Comcast is not consistant country wide.

    Well it's April 13th and looks like the curtains down in a couple of weeks for us and wonder what others will do.
