    Voom Box is DEAD and no OTA

    Dont get it My box was deauthorized a couple of months ago because they didnt get a payment but I was still able to watch the OTA channels. If I changed the channels too much I would get the Voom not authorized response but for the most part my OTA channels came in fine. I just had to turn...

    Voom should enable OTA permanently!

    OTA will work I for one know for a fact that if they send a kill signal to your box you will still get OTA signals. How do I know this?? Well when my credit card expired and they didnt get a payment in a few months they shut off my box. For a few weeks I watched OTA channels.. Now I...

    How can I pay now?

    Will they charge me? I know most companies charge up to 50 dollars for paying over the phone. There is no way in hell I would do that. Im just wondering if there is a backway into the page to pay if it is still there. Im sure all of our account info in the system hasnt been erased.

    How can I pay now?

    My Early Evaluation of Voom

    Himm I have an RCA scenium and the difference between 1080i DVI and Composite are very minimal. The way I understand it unless you have a plasma or LCD tv you will not notice too much difference between the two. Because in RPTV's the signal is still converted to analog before going back to...

    Post ver6.10 fixes

    No need for red button I havent seen anyone mention this yet but you no longer need that pesky secret red button to change resolution. I got the upgrade last night and checked in the settings menu and there was a place to change the resolution. It displays a sentence and says press the red...

    Voom False Advertising??

    Most of us probabaly havent taken a look at what Voom has on its web site about Why choose voom because we all have it... Now I personally enjoy Voom because I can lease the box instead of shelling out 400 bucks. But the following Voom lists is troubling: Check out the Why Voom section...

    Is VOOM selling subscriber data to direct marketers?

    Well to say Voom is not using shady practices because they have it in writing is bogus.. Sure you should read the fine print but if you want the service then you have to agree.. Last I checked there is no... Well I like this and agree to section 1 but not section 2... So thanks for still...

    Is VOOM selling subscriber data to direct marketers?

    Well I think it is voom... I got the same mail out yesterday.. I just threw it away. Just reading this post shows two things.. 1) Some people let things get to them that are not that significant. 2) Some people will go to the grave to defend Voom. I am 99% certain this was done...

    DVI vs. Component for Voom

    Himm I have an RCA RPTV and my picture is shifted to the left was well on DVI at 1080i. On 480 it looks fine but obviously not high quality. This must have something to do with our TV's. Also the picture seems a little bit zoomed in when im in 1080i mode. It sucks when trying to...
