    VOOM21 PQ: Does it look better tonight?

    I watched Smart Travels last night and it was razor sharp, like never before... Oh, I forgot to mention that it was on HDNet with my new E* 942. :D

    Post your wish list for surviving VOOM originals (max 10)

    Here is another idea for the combined HDCinema channel. It could be made into a mux where every day of the week a different movie category is choosen. For example, Monday could be KungFu, Tuesday could be FamilyRoom and so on. (I updated my wish lis post with this idea).

    If you cancel VOOM please post here

    I got my E* 942 installed yesterday and cancelled VOOM today. CSR told me that my bill will be pro-rated and a letter will be send after the 30th with "more instructions"

    If you're ordering E*...

    It might be a good idea to leave your existing VOOM Dish pointing to Rainbow-1 (at 61.5). Maybe Charlie adds some "compelling" content at that location after the sale completes :). I'm leaving mine.

    VOOM "Shutdown" schedule anyone?

    I wonder if Chuck Dolan will deliver some sort of "Address to the VOOMERS" on HDNews the last day :D

    Now that Voom is dying.. what will happen to UniversalHD, TNTHD, and ESPN2HD

    In the Comcast Portland thread at AVS someone posted an e-mail received from a local Comcast-insider which basically confirms that the TNT-HD deal is for real. But unfortunately, there is no bandwidth in Portland to add it "anytime soon". The interesting thing about the e-mail is that it also...

    Voom's PQ Is Lousy

    Darrell, Unfortunately, it seems that VOOM going out-of-business won't free you from PQ problems. Now E* is going HDLite: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=62479

    I guess not even E* is safe from HD Lite

    Great, 1st D* goes HDLite, then VOOM goes dark and now E* follows D*. I guess I'm gonna go Comcast for a while.

    what I don't get

    I agree. There must be a good reason why the vote to shutdown VOOM was unanimously, meaning that even Chuck voted "yes".

    VOOM's 21 HD Channels to Which Dish Service and PQ?

    The only possibility I see is that the VOOM21(or a subset) continue being operated by Rainbow Media (just like WE, IFC, etc). Then, they will offer the channels to providers like D*, E* and cable companies. However, this is very unlikely to succeed, given the bandwidth constraints that ALL...

    Being able to say "I dumped VOOM", instead of "VOOM dumped me" :D

    What Will Happen Now

    Charlie was given plenty of opportunities to pick up the VOOM21 HD programming but he reject it because it is not "compelling" to him. Don't expect anything new from Charlie. It's time to move on and get another provider.

    Just got a call from Voom in which I was told Voom won't end at the end of the month.

    I suspect that the CSR is not informed of the latest news yet and the "Transitional Period" referred to the one that ended yesterday. Let's face it. VOOM is dead, it's time to move on.

    May 1st where will you be? Dish, Cable or DirecTV?

    NBA playoffs tip-off on April 24th. I can't live without TNT-HD. There is a rumor at AVSForum about TNT-HD being added to Comcast by that date. That plus the HD-DVR leasing they offer would seal deal for me. And the best thing about cable is that there is no commitment and no upfront cost. So I...

    That's nothing. The real "bright side" is no more VOOM Bashers on this forum :D :p

    I guess VOOM listened to those of you who suggested "no more HD channels" :D

    Voom should give all subscribers a gift!

    The gift should be to leave the STB's with OTA enabled, and don't collect the leased ones.

    May 1st where will you be? Dish, Cable or DirecTV?

    COMCAST. With the rumored addition of TNT-HD before NBA playoffs, it is a no-brainer for me.

    DITTO. That's exactly my wish list.

    Who Will Own Rainbow-1 after FCC Rules on Sale of Rainbow DBS Licenses?

    I voted for the meteor destruction. I think that VOOM and all its assets were cursed by some of the bashers of this forum and AVS :eek: :shocked :D :p
