    Voom is going going going....

    Well I'm sure some of you remember me as one of Voom's more irritated customers. Sad to see the service itself shut down, the idea was great and if there was new management and a new direction I was thinking of going back. Too bad the lunatics burned down the asylum. Hopefully Dish will...

    Voom is great, but moving to e*

    For all of you who love Voom's Cinema 10 channels, do any of you own a scaling DVD player? We have a Samsung HD931 scaling player, it upconverts or line doubles to 1080i or 720p internally. Granted its not original HD content but I'd put up most movies against Voom's Cinema 10 and end up...

    Voom is great, but moving to e*

    I made the same switch and have been very happy with the service and the price. I too enjoy scrolling through all of the HD I actually watch in 5 seconds :) Watching HD, just for the sake of it being HD just doesn't make sense, we watch TV that we like, most of it is in HD, but alot of it...

    Voom question from Dish guy

    I'll try to keep it lite... If you REALLY want something to complain about, how about how no one's HD quality matches CBS's? I just really noticed from my earlier comments that they have the bit rate high enough where we do not get the high speed pixelation. We can dream...

    Voom question from Dish guy

    I have faith, give it time :) Oh, and according to Voom, I'm still a customer, they still try to charge me and the dish and STB are still in my house even though I have a signed off sheet from the installer that came by last week. Does that count, can I still complain? :) I'm done...

    Voom question from Dish guy

    I had Voom, and dropped it due to problems you can read about by searching under my username. I now have E*. 90 percent of the HD quality is identical. Granted I never watched much DiscoveryHD but I do notice on E* there is a little more motion pixelation. HDnet is just as good or better...

    Proof VOOM lies!!!!!!

    Regardless of the fact they do lie, about far more important things than the channel line up, the new ad's I've been seeing only claim 35 HD channels.

    Disconnect Questions

    I'd be more amazed than anything. Besides all the BS the wife and I sat down and checked our viewing habits. We watch a few things on TV, all of them happen to be OTA or on HBO HD,Comedy Central, Sci Fi, and Showtime HD. So what really is the point of having Voom? Its nice to look at and...

    Disconnect Questions

    Voom deinstalled me still, according to them at least, oweing 477 dollars. I never did receive a call back from them regarding my dispute and I doubt I'll ever hear a word from them again. They obviously have no mechanism to collect funds and if they do I'll have a field day with them...

    What I would Do If I Were In Charge

    Well they fixed one of the big problems with the multiple room deal for a dollar. As long as they keep it at 5 bux per box then its a good deal.

    Will Voom Survive?

    When I called D* to inquire about signing up the CSR, who was obviously reading off a cue card...for nearly 5 minutes, said the same thing. The first SAT is to increase HD content, the second for HD locals. Normally I would not put alot of stock into what a CSR says, but this was scripted so...

    Will Voom Survive?

    I missed my calling as a financial analyst :) Voom is doomed as a company, the channels and product I believe will live on. It costs way too much money to launch a sat, get FCC bandwidth, blah blah blah, easier just to buy it, someone will buy this, or will be in those same financial rags...

    Will Voom Survive?

    Sean, Same thing, investors will follow mostly what they read. As far as the anonymous 1B in dollars, does that also include some people to run the company? 1B at their current rate is what 2 quarters or less of losses? Eventually you reach a point where dollars outweigh even the best...

    Will Voom Survive?

    I just finished reading the comments in the Form 10 thread, I wish I could reset the poll and see where it goes. If the investors are calling for Voom to be shuttered, it will happen. If nothing else the reports in the papers have finished Voom off, anyone who does research into buying...

    Thanks for the replies...the poll results say enough about Voom and what their customers think of it.

    Pro-Voomer Dropping Voom - Sadly

    I have the SD DVR. Your right, the sat companies are keeping people in limbo, and D* probably has the most on the horizon but to get D* was buying into a product that may require replacement soon. E* was the best deal considering that I'm buying nothing and its open ended, so once all the...

    The Virgin Records guy, he has bazillions, hell he plans on sending people into space in 5 years for joy rides and they are already designing the ships to do it.

    Will Voom Survive?

    If they got a backer, who was looking at this as a new start then they have just as much of a chance as they did when they first started. If you think they will survive on their own, how? If Cablevision dumps them they have no money...no one is going to loan them money without themselves...

    Will Voom Survive?

    Seriously...who thinkgs Voom will survive as its own? Please read http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?p=230232#post230232 first, you can almost see them throwing their hands up in the air as they typed it out. Most major promises pushed back again...no DVR in the near future, no...

    Promises promises

    And if Voom was its own company, with its own stock, and making those kind of promises to shareholder they would be knocking down the SEC's door by now. I really did want to see Voom work out, but I can see after reading the CC its just going down hill. My hope and goal however is that the...

    Pro-Voomer Dropping Voom - Sadly

    Cable is going to kil the Sat companies if they don't get competitive. I'd be on cable in a heart beat if we didn't have Backwater Digital where I live. Guy I work with 2 miles away gets a SWEET deal through Brighthouse for $105 and change, HD DVR, HD channels, 4mbps internet service, all...

    Voom lies to their customers...I'm done

    Honestly I'd be amazed if Voom ever calls me back. After reading the results of the investors conference call and their report on the CC I think Voom has doomed themselves. No MPEG4 till late next year, and only for SD, even later for HD, no DVR, no room for sports channels and if they do...

    Pro-Voomer Dropping Voom - Sadly

    I have pondered this whole Voom billing problem scenario... If their billing department is so screwed up, maybe there accounting department is also. I've added up my time that I've wasted on Voom between the phone calls and tech's who didn't know what was up coming over. Trying to find...

    Voom lies to their customers...I'm done

    Neutron, I know...and I think D* is probably the safer bet as far as the future of HD unless E* does pick up Voom. In fact I would say E* has more equipment problems than V*, I never really had any problems at all with the box itself. However I'll try E* for the same reason I went with...
