    VOOM Satellite Service to Dramatically Increase to Over 70 HD channels by March 2005

    Something must already be done.... I can bet that if Cablevision dumped another 740 million into Voom, and had lead times that far out that a E* deal might already be done. It just doesn't make sense, bleeding like they are, no real long term projection if their new sub plan is going to...

    VOOM Satellite Service to Dramatically Increase to Over 70 HD channels by March 2005

    Its a company PR....they put them out to raise stock price, make the investors feel good, bolster subs...notice how in the CC a few weeks ago it sharply contrasted this PR? Someone upstairs spoke a bit too matter of factely and got their pee pee whacked, voila they publish this PR to make...

    If I wait long enough there won't be a company left to come after me for my money.... Now who was it that bet me MPEG4 would arrive ontime?

    Amendment #4 To Form 10: Rainbow Media Enterprises (all related articles posted here)

    Wow...really, thats all I can say... They had no way to track deliquent customers? Explains why it took so long to shut me off...it'll be interesting to see what happens when they call me back now.

    When will D* and E* no longer charge for HD?

    At some point in time, D* and E* I would believe have to stop charging for HD. Once it becomes required to carry a HD signal, how can they justify an additional charge for HD? Do you think they'll raise everyones, or drop the HD prices?

    Directv to offer more HD

    Locals over the Sat seems like such a waste unless the PQ is going to be 100 percent identical. Friends of ours get their HD locals over Brighthouse, its not the same as OTA. I'm 38 miles from the broadcast station and mine come in crystal clear with some antenna work. I can almost bet...

    SCI-FI to start Tues sept 7th (Channel 523) (Already up and Running...)

    What a simplistic mind set. Who cares about the quality, content, imagination, excitement, intelligence, or interest we have in what we watch, as long as it looks good then its ok, forget the rest. There is another analogy to that way of thinking, but somehow I don't think a guy like you...

    I got the letter, read the forum and still don't get the Olympics

    Only our local Fox affiliate broadcasts their SD programming on the subchannel...the rest show the weather radar.

    I got the letter, read the forum and still don't get the Olympics

    When Voom didn't have ESPN I hooked up the Stealth they gave me to the TV directly, nothing but snow except for 2 channels. One was Channel 50 WKBD and the other, suprisingly, CBC Channel 9 out of Windsor which is even farther. When I said no NBC programming, I mean NBC's regular programming.

    I got the letter, read the forum and still don't get the Olympics

    I'm too far for Analog, so all I get is Digital.

    I got the letter, read the forum and still don't get the Olympics

    Not that I really care to watch the Olympics but I would like to watch NBC. I live about 36 miles from Detroit, I get Digital feeds just fine. I DO NOT get Analog feeds at all. So...not only do I not get the Olympics except OTA I also am not going to get NBC programming for 2 weeks...

    Would Voom improve if someone like Mark Cuban Bought it?

    Because at least he is someone who understands the technology and most of all, understands the quality of HD. Everyone here seems to have the feeling that if all they had were tulips blooming in the dark at 22mpbs then they'd be happy. I think content, PQ, and technology would be more...

    Would Voom improve if someone like Mark Cuban Bought it?

    I made this comment as a joke in one of the threads but then after all the Voom problems and the back and forth on whats good, whats not, and what needs to be fixed I thought this might make sense. They seem to have the classic people in the middle doing the job syndrome. The Management is...

    Bad Press (where all of anger at Voom is coming from?)

    How in the world could we do that, we're better off flying our black helicopters over the Voom dish to disrupt the signal....its amazing the world some people live in to think that is true. If you bother to check out my posts, I was very happy until rain fade started, then it wasn't that I...

    If you don't like what VOOM provides, why are you still whinning about it?

    I loved Voom when I got it, still love the PQ and all that. But to turn a blind eye to their moronic support staff, 3rd grade math billing department, and continuing to promise when they do not have the technical know how to fix the problems they have today then if no one complains, no one...

    I like VOOM but DTV makes me think twice (about their new offer)

    When will people listen to some simple advice. DO NOT use a Debit card with anyone where you do not personally control the number, ie card in hand only. Especially Voom and their 3rd grade math finance department will send you to the poor house. Example...the guy who had his CC charged...

    Maybe Mark Cuban should just buy Voom.

    Voom Will Survive If:

    Andrzej, Check out the D* forum and the rumors thread. They are talking 10 more HD channels, new boxes, and interactive. I am reasonably sure the new box portion is true, maybe not 10 but a few more HD channels, but the interactive stuff really interests me. They have some demo...

    Voom Will Survive If:

    The biggest one will be if the D* rumors are not true... If they are...then Voom will have very very little time to get it together. I bet D* will offer one helluva plan to pull customers from E* and Voom if indeed all the rumors are true.

    Dumping Voom...

    Brighthouse packages kick ass for sure, and its not even pricey if you don't have high speed internet. Plus here we get all the OTA's too. I'm writing our city council to get find out how to get another cable provider in here. Millenium Digital(aka bend me over cable systems) is a huge rip...

    Sorry to say, SD you gotta go...

    Doesn't anyone care about what they are watching? You'd stop watching something just because its not in HD? Thats pretty mindless.

    Dumping Voom...

    My bill totals around 100, plus my DSL at 55 dollars. I throw the two of them together since in decision making they are a combined cost through everyone else except for Voom. My 'neighbors' down the road can get Brighthouse, they offer an amazing deal, 3mbps internet service, SD cable...

    Dumping Voom...

    umm, I've had Voom longer than you have... And if anyone is silly enough to think that Voom will launch WM9 ontime I'll put a month of a VaVaVoom subscription on it as a wager. They can't even get the software right, can't get the installers to do it right, can't get good signal strength...
