    Voom should enable OTA permanently!

    Althought it might be totally different technology, my RCA DTC-100 still works great as an OTA HD receiver. I got it WAY back when D* first offered their HD package. So far back that they didn't charge anything for the 'package' (since it only had like 2 channels)! Anyways, it still works AND I...

    Cablevision agrees to end Voom

    WOW. Drama, drama, drama. This forum is great, but sometimes Ignorance is truly bliss. Just think of all those VOOMers who are just sitting at home watching HDTV (unaware of this news). They are enjoying their service without all the stress of thinking it will be gone any second. Like it has...

    Cablevision agrees to end Voom

    Wait a minute...what ever happened to that "meeting with all the installers"? I thought we were all getting new dishes, now this? Did we ever find out what happened at this top secret, yet manditory, meeting?

    New channels coming soon?

    TechTV was the reason I moved over to VOOM from DirecTV. After Comcast bought TechTV, they removed all "tech" and it turned into a gamers network. I stopped seeing any value for myself, and made the jump to VOOM. Don't miss it at all. BUT...if it will bring more people to VOOM...ADD IT!!! Andrew

    Howard Stern Mentioned Dolans today

    ...and to think I thought I would get in trouble for saying that Rap Music, Army Intelligence and Jumbo Shrimp were oxymorons... ;)

    Monday's (3/7) Wall Street Journal Story

    Don't trust Me. Look it up. I think you will be shocked to see how many of the fortune 500 they are joint Ventured with. Funny thing is, most people sell their favorite products / services this way already-Amway folks just get paid to do it. ;)

    Monday's (3/7) Wall Street Journal Story

    Let's see...MCI used to be sold through Sears and their service never really took off. Then they cut a deal with Amway (now Quixtar) and they suddenly started getting over 100,000 new subs per week. Can you imagine over a million distributors out selling HD Satellite service person to person...

    Need the Following information From Voom Subs

    Component and 1080i. Unfortunately, my phillips 34" tube will not do 720p! Of course, I found this out AFTER getting it home and owning it a while. I used to use it with my DirecTV Zenith STB and it was set at 1080i, so everything worked fine. Then I got VOOM and realized my TV couldn't do...

    DVR delay question...

    Did the purchase of Ucentric by Motorola a few months back cause a delay in the DVR? I know we are all hoping to just get past 3/7 at this point, but I was just curious... Andrew

    Mr. Dolan we don't want. . .

    I totally agree! But...I would also happily take gobs of stock options instead of free service each month so I can buy a nice plasma set once your new company goes public... Just something to think about... ;)

    voom.com...Alive!!

    Cool! So, slightly off topic, but how is your signal when it rains up there in Rocklin? I am over in Rescue (across the street from Cameron Park) and things break up pretty bad in the rain/wind. I am supposed to get a larger dish, but my installer no-showed me three times. New installer should...

    voom.com...Alive!!

    Is this new? Maybe I just never noticed it before. Is this new at the bottom of the www.voom.com home page? "© 2005 Rainbow DBS Company LLC " Did it ever say cablevision or something else? honestly - I couldn't really care less as long as the signal continues! Just wondering... Andrew

    All SD & HD Channels moved to Harmonic Encoder

    Video delay? I have an intermittent sound issue. I just turned on Jay Leno and during his monologue, the sound was about 1/2 second ahead of the video. About 10 minutes later, when it went to commercial, it was fine and stayed in sync from then on. I noticed this earlier this evening on...

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

    Actually...I have enjoyed VOOM for months now. Unfortunately, when it rains hard I get some breakup of my picture, so I have been trying to get a tech to come out and swap my dish...but to no avail!

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

    I had a tech no show three times in a row! I took 2 half days off work and the guy doesn't even call! So the CSR also gave me VaVaVoom free for two months (I already subscribe to it) and upgraded me to a 26" dish. Now, they just need to stay in business long enough for me to see the benefit of...

    Me either. Cleared my cache just to be sure. voom.com shows the same message, and voomllc.com is just an ad, no links anywhere... I did notice that voomllc.com has the tag line, "VOOM still delivers"...(they just don't take orders) hee hee hee... Let's hope they can pull this one off. I...

    So... anyone got Chuck's email address? It would be great for him to hear from us "SUBS" and how we would like to continue paying for quality channels. I remember sending Mark Cuban (HDNet) an email regarding some of the content on his station. He was in Sacramento playing the KINGS that...
