    Selling Me Out

    So much for my privacy information with VOOM. Today I got a personal letter from a local E* company telling me they know I am a soon to be former V* customer and are offering me a fantastic deal with them so I won't lose any precious moments of wonderful HD satellite programming...

    Watching Inhd1 & 2 under sunny skies in Arizona

    I switched to TWC and get the InHD and HDnet channels. Within the next 72 hours here are some of the HD programs I would be interested in watching or recording, all of which I consider at least worth a rat's behind: 1. The Amazon - IMAX movie 2. Beavers - IMAX movie (no, not Playboy!) 3...

    Movies Voom introduced you to.

    OCTAMAN!! Academy Award stuff!! Seriously, I am a huge fan of the old cheesy fifties, sixties, seventies "scary" movies and enjoyed seeing many of them on Monster HD. That will be the channel I miss the most. You won't ever find that kind of stuff anywhere else again so I hope...

    I Got Out 7-Months Ago

    Vicki: I work for an internet detective agency and traced the origin of the post, gathered his address, social security number, drivers license photo, etc. Here, the best that I could determine, is the most current photograph of this poster:

    VOOM Ad

    There is a 30-minute VOOM ad running as I type on my local Fox channel. I know, I know...it was purchased long ago but it is ironic...urging people to go to Voom.com or call the 800 number to get all that wonderful HD programming. Kind of like watching a home video of someone who just died.

    So how close was the dvr to debuting?

    When I got installed last November, my install guy said he had just installed a VOOM beta test DVR at one of the "big shot" Voom employees houses in San Antonio. I don't know what motivation he would have to lie about it, he seemed like a straight shooter (even though he was from Installs Inc...

    Call VOOM and cancel and you will still get programming and will not be charged

    Good advice....Voom charged me $250 in January for "cancelling my service" which I NEVER called to do. It took 8 phone calls and 6 weeks to get the credit card charge reversed. Accidents happen or computer glitches or whatever you want to call them but if it happened today, who would you...

    Thoughts on Cable

    I still have VOOM, did not want to cancel before my 6 month agreement ran out in May but have recently gotten Time Warner Cable and could not be more pleased. What drove me was the DVR issue. My wife was bugging me to death about not being able to pause a show so when I found out that TWC had...

    VOOM Commercial

    Last night we were watching Discover HD and saw 3 or 4 one-minute VOOM commercials. They were not in HD. Isn't it a little strange for them to run a commercial advertising the great HD content we get on VOOM and they didn't even bother to make the commercial in HD? :confused:

    Just Got Off the Phone

    I just called the VOOM customer service number and got some guy who said VOOM was history but since he was in a call center tried to sell me on some kind of erectile disfunction pill prescription, I think it was like Viagra but it was something called Levitra or something like that. I asked...

    What does Voom Need to do Most to Attract New Customers?

    Amen brother! I have been starstruck with VOOM since I got it in November of last year but I, and my wife, have really, really started to miss a DVR like we had with E*. I'll give it a little longer but I don't want to invest in a TIVO and don't really want to leave VOOM so PLEEEEEZE roll out...

    VOOM Ad on MSN.com

    I know it was, unless it turned out to be true which would be very, very scary.

    VOOM Ad on MSN.com

    If so, that is highly misleading. That's like an auto maker advertising a 120,000 mile warranty on your new car (that's 30,000 per tire!) I think they really meant 120 total channels because that's what their website says. I would be p*ssed though if I were a new customer, saw the ad, called...

    VOOM Ad on MSN.com

    This is where I saw it:http://entertainment.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=181563 If the ad does not appear under "SPONSORED SITES", hit the refresh button once or twice and the ads will change. (I realize this is a misprint, VOOM.com promotes 120 channels, not 120 HD channels. I just thought...

    Locals On Voom?

    On Voom's website, they are showing 2 NBC network local stations in the program schedule. Channel 593-WVIT and 594-KNSD. I am at work and cannot check this out. Are they available to all or just in those areas wherever those stations are, or is this just a mistake? Just curious.

    HD Picture Quality from the Major Networks. Which network and/or show is the best?

    Strange. IMO, here in San Antonio, Fox's PQ is by far superior to CBS, NBC, or ABC. PBS is very good too. I guess it obviously depends on where you're at. And, strangely enough, local TWC cable is not even carrying the local Fox station in HD, only SD. Not sure why but there were sure a...
