    got the $$$ (Cablevision funds Voom plan)

    Interesting? Is the 705 million money Voom spent to get the ball rolling? I'm sure the satellite downpayment is alot of cash. Hoping with google's IPO going into the billions, the wealthy will invest into start ups again.

    New Channels 340 (FSFL) and 341 (FSFLHD)

    When I signed up they told me I'd get all channels added to VaVaVoom until 2005. If this is more 'your not qualified' BS, then chalk it up as another Voom lie. Just wait until 2005, when some 'new' pricing scheme will come to get all FSN channels no matter where you live for a fixed price...

    Sounds like a paid advertisement than an article. I wonder if the writer got free trips to Hawaii for a glowing review?

    How I got VOOM NBC HD and SD for the Olympics

    Funny how the Olympics are for the world but we don't qualify for to see it. It don't get anymore assbackwards than that. How ever did this is right in line with the RIAA thinking. I wonder how long I'll qualify to pay for HBO?

    I'm keeping Voom because it works with Tivo

    DVD quality recording with Tivo? Man I need to check my settings. Mine looks nowhere near that and I have recording set to 'best quality'. The Tivo changes changes on the VOOM STB. There is no need for the program planner. I think Voom will need to hire a small army of C programmers if they...

    I'm keeping Voom because it works with Tivo

    Ya, I see them all in Tivo. I had to go into Tivo and manually select channels 200-300 and now I can record them. Also had to do that with the OTA channels. Ask the average guy browsing here if Tivo and Voom work together and most don't have an answer. I guess they didn't before but they do now...

    I'm keeping Voom because it works with Tivo

    Of course it don't record in HD. Does anything record HD from VOoM? No. But the main selling point of Direct TV is Tivo. Tivo now supports the PG from Voom in Series2. The only thing I see bad is no recording from channel 200-300 of the HBO stuff on Tivo. I'll bet this will be what happens also...

    I'm keeping Voom because it works with Tivo

    I read alot of strange info about if Voom works with Tivo or does it? I just bought a Tivo the $99 dollar version so I'd have a hard drive to save local shows To my surprive Tivo works 100% with voom. During the install you have a choice of Direct TV, Dish, or Voom. I know alot of people here...

    New Software Coming Or Not?

    Just be happy M$ isn't coding this software. It would crash left and right. You'd only get some of the stuff for free. If you wanted a better/smarter interface. M$ would offer tiers to pay for and get more of you money. Just like hotmail was 10 meg, then all the sudden they offer 250 times...

    New Firmware Update - WHEN???

    Mine already does that. In the past it always went to channel 100 during STB start. Lately we noticed it will go back to the last channel we were watching. Its been doing this for a couple weeks now and we finally noticed it. Now if they can fix it while surfing the PG.

    Just got voom installed!! Brand new software??

    After voom has exhausted most ideas. They might consider different 'skins' for us to download and choose for the theme of our surfing. Will these software updates be on the DVR box also? Any idea when we get this new software?

    Placed my Order! Plus got some info.

    Exactly, I'll bet if you can buy it for lets say 1 dollar per stock. In 4 years it will be worth 15 bucks. Eventually Voom will take off like a Arizona forest fire.

    Mtv-hd?

    MTV sucks it would be a waste of bandwith to go HD unless it was MTV2 and they probably won't be playing videos on that one much longer.

    Congratulations Sean Mota

    Sean should get free Voom for a few years because he allow has enabled many countless people to sign up. The business he generates is worth it to Voom to pay him a thankyou (or cash) for going above and beyond what 99.999% of anyone would do.

    Installers view point...

    When I had the installers the said they are paid by the job. Thus they will rape the work to leave fast and drink beer. They didn't bother to ground the system until I called them back and I could see they didn't care how the installation might look with wires sloppily running everywhere as they...

    Golf channel was added today

    I hate the SciFi channel. They take classic SciFi and turn it into cheap sh*t and ruin it. Most of there original programming sucks. They should do like MonstersHD and just play SciFi movies uncut and I'd start watching it again. I don't need original SciFi stuff with a low budget and C list...

    VOOM to employ Windows Media 9

    Well right now we can't even get a 2 hour movie to play in HD without pixels and dropouts and they think they can get 1080p smoothly? Sh*t! I don't care if M$ can do 20,000p I'd rather have anything but these people muscling into my living room. I'm never had a console crash until M$ made...
