    Anyone know what the real Dish/Voom deal is?

    I'm really jacked off with Dish. I ordered Dish on Friday when the Voom deal was announced. I paid $300 for the HD DVR. After reading here about the second dish requirement, I called to verify and was told that yes I would need a second dish and that was an extra $100. So, they intended to...

    Ten Million HDTV's in U.S. homes!!! And VOOM only got 40,000 subscribers

    The biggest reason was that Voom was poorly promoted. The only people I knew who knew of Voom were the ones I told! Compare that to D*, for example, where every road I drive down has dealers advertising installs, etc and every time I open my mail box to find D* and E* promotions stuffed in.

    INSTALLERS NOTiFIED TO SEND BACK RECEIVERS

    I got a call from last week from the company that installed my Voom offering to install DirecTv. This is the type of proactive marketing that Voom should have been doing :shocked

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    I go even further: the dish on my wall is now useless, so I expect Voom to remove it along with their box. It is just not good enough to ask me to return the box--even in a prepaid box--but leave me having to pay an installer to come out to remove the dish and repair the holes through my walls...

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    Can you add a group that believes Voom should pick their equipment up--box and dish--and repair the holes they leave though the customer's external wall, as they decided to close the business? I am aghast that Voom think I should go to my own time and trouble to return their box, but leave...

    INSTALLERS NOTiFIED TO SEND BACK RECEIVERS

    Was there anything in our original agreement that requires us to return them? What I mean by that, is that I don't want to have to go through the trouble of packing it up, driving to the Post Office and waiting in line for ages. I don't really see why I should. I have paid good money for the...

    just got of the phone with a csr

    I will not accept receiving a postage-paid. If they think I'm going to stand in line for 30 minutes at my local Post Office, they're in for an unpleasant surprise. No, they need someone to come and pick it up and take the dish down, repairing any unsightly holes they leave. I paid good money for...

    E-mail from Voom - Official Shutdown Notice

    Yeah, I don't think Voom ever really understood how important DVR was. I have both Voom and DirecTV with Tivo. I nearly always ended-up watching the SD program on Tivo just because it fit my schedule. If Voom hadn't closed down, I would have left because I can no longer live without time-shifted...

    E-mail from Voom - Official Shutdown Notice

    I got mine, too. I just keep hoping something will rise from the ashes, but it is looking increasingly unlikely. Still, as a mark of respect and gratitute, I won't look for a replacement service until Voom finally goes dark.

    VOOM Web Site is DOWN!!!

    So, those a**holes don't think we need the website until that date to search listings? I believe that as we are still paying--in advance--the full fee they have a duty to provide the full service until that date.

    Considering upgrading to VaVa?

    In my experience, giving something away and then charging for it creates massive customer dissatisfaction - better to charge from day one, I think, especially for what everyone expects to be a chargeable channel.

    New channels coming soon?

    I am really pleased to see the addition of BBC America. That was the one remaining channel I needed to switch away from D* - without it, I may have had to drop Voom, as I wasn't prepared to pay for two services. However, I still can't as I need--and I do mean NEED--a DVR. However much I like HD...
