    Good deal for E* re-signup

    Please clairify this for us: "The 942 HDDVR (dual tuner) for the $249 with no additional monthly fees" Do you mean you paid the $250.00 to lease the 942 but they are not charging you a monthly fee to lease it??

    HD ONLY Package Pricing at Dish Network..

    Reading elsewhere it sounds like the VOOM dish and LNB (legacy) work just fine with Dish receivers. Am I reading this wrong??

    Has anyone that had both Dish and VOOM (before the VOOM shutdown) received any "deal" or been able to get the VOOM channels or a 942 HD DVR?

    Current Dish/VOOMer so whats our deal going to be??

    Current Dish/VOOMers. What is our deal going to be?? I currently have Dish service (and a 508 DVR), and have had Dish full time since 1996. I also have (had) VOOM for HD since March 2005 when I bought my first HDTV. I kept Dish for the DVR and for "just in case". I've called Dish 3 times...

    Here's the Real EchoStar deal for Voomers...

    What happens with the HD DVR after the switch over to MPEG4? Do they upgrade it for free or do you have to pay another lease fee for a newer DVR?

    Voom Box is DEAD and no OTA

    Soooo... if I want to preserve my OTA but want to watch VOOM until it goes black (blue?) on April 30th, and I have 2 receivers... could I unplug the feed to one of them and leave the other connected? Reasoning being that the connected one would turn off OTA while the disconnected one would...

    What happens Apr 18--autopsy, funeral, or burial?

    I think you are wrong about "Half of all people who buy HDTVs don't even realize they're not watching HDTV when they're watching SD" I believe that most people spending (still) thousands of dollars on a new TV are at least aware of the new TVs capabilities. Even if they are not totally in tune...

    Voom promises of 50 channels, price reduction, etc

    I'm a little confused about the current $5.00 per receiver charge anyway. I took the $1.00 install and two receivers (my main receiver and one for the bedroom). I'm charged $5.00 each for the two receivers ($10.00 total) plus the price of the plan. Or is one of the receivers included in the...

    Cablevision Chairman To Use Cash, Stock To Fund Voom

    Receiving free install and equipment is what got me to be a Dish customer for eight years now. I've paid them a lot of money in those years. I've just purchased my first HDTV (currently hooked up to Dish and old rabbit ears that I dug out of the garage for some temporary HD. If Dish had...

    New channels coming soon?

    I think that C. Dolan will do everything he can afford to do to make VOOM the best, most irresistable HD provider. I don't think he has taken this situation to this extent with the idea of doing this half-assed. With a little time and patience I think we will get most everything on our...

    Is it possible that all of t his publicity will boost sales?

    I've been thinking about VOOM for some time now... but I didn't have have and HDTV. I bought the HDTV Saturday before last and signed up for VOOM the following Monday. Following this story has just made it all very interesting. VOOM seems to have just about everything I'll need (HD and the...

    Letter from Inverstors to Chuck: (Voom/Echostar merge?)

    (Originally Posted by fantix The bussiness has life there is no question about it. Now even more since Walt-Mart and big retail stores are jumping into the HD helping VOOM a lot more since the biggest problem is to educate people of the difference between HD and SD. ... This service is not...

    The (www.voom.com) page is back! (And back to shutdown mode)

    Most of VOOM's subs are probably not even aware of the drama here. If they are receiving a signal they are not apt to be checking around for something. If anyone did happen to hit VOOM's website during the "closing / no new subcribers" notice they would probably have called VOOM and CSRs would...

    Big News: New VOOM HD LL Web Site (They are back! or Are they?) YES!

    Don't forget... the rest of VOOM's subs and the rest of the world for that matter are not watching all this as closely as we are. If they get the old website down and the new one up within 24 hours, that is pretty good and most people won't ever know a change has been made.

    46,000 VOOM Subscribers As Of 2/28/2005 Reported

    Whatever the number is... it is now plus one. I picked up my first HDTV last Saturday and signed up for VOOM this morning. Install is scheduled for March 19th. I'm hoping for more than a "6 month commitment". (I'll keep Dish for the DVR until VOOM has their DVR available)

    Voom can be closed down in 30 days. Is it really dead this time?

    Sooooo, I guess there is no reason to call VOOM (as I intended to do tonight or tomorrow morning) to sign up for the $1.00 "what have you got to lose" promotion........

    What can we realistically expect from today’s meeting?

    I just received my first HDTV this past weekend and plan on ordering (tonight or tomorrow morning) VOOM on this $1.00 "what have you got to lose" promotion. I currently have Dish but not their HD service. I really want the VOOM DVR (I'm soooo use that luxury) and if I like the service I'll wait...
