    Just gotta vent on Comcast quality

    Thanks for some feedback Volume thing is not only me in Peabody but a buddy in a couple of towns away has the same problem also. I wasn't crazy about VOOM's programing but everything was digital whereas Comcasts is not. I don't use the "On Demand" because I go with my DVD player and rent from...

    Just gotta vent on Comcast quality

    Ya I'm a former Voomer that went to Comcast and was happy in the begining but boy am I dissapointed in the overall quality of picture and the fluctuating sound difference going to different channels. I have to increase volume real high watching HD but then when I go back to a lower channel the...

    Comcast receiver DCT-6200 question

    Thanks Neil Info was much appreciated and settings were where they should be and what a bummer. I was so hoping something was off and a correction would make me happy but wasn't so. Wish I had never had VOOM and I might have been satisfied with Comcast but VOOMs picture quality (not it's...

    I'm a former VOOMer that has switched to Comcast in the North Shore area of Mass (Peabody).Have the HD package with Digital plus and am very disappointed with picture quality and the way the HD stations fill my Panny DT-50LC13 screen as compared to the way it was with VOOM. Have to admit at...

    Anyone here taking advantage of the Comcast promo for E* subs

    Ditto ditto ditto same as jgantert and bruce - they did not even want a bill - said they were just supposed to do the install and paperwork wasn't up to them. Work order had dish buyback on it though - so guess the CSR took care of the particulars at their end. I was a previous VOOMer. I did...

    So, we own it now -- A couple of questions about OTA

    Connection on back of receiver(jimmykce1) In regards to connecting OTA to a OTA input port on receiver. Without me going through the process of moving my entertainment center and removing the back panel to look at the back of VOOM receiver I went to the VOOM book to see where the OTA connection...

    So, we own it now -- A couple of questions about OTA

    Will OTA work if Voom dish removed?? If this is in the wrong thread - please move. If we are left with our VOOM receivers am curious if I remove my VOOM dish and just have OTA line to the receiver will I still be able to get my locals as my HD set has no tuner.

    Any rumors of Voom on DTV?

    Direct move for more HD - i doubt it Ruppert don't care, don't give a rats a%$, he will continue to do what he always has done - blame whoever is in charge at the time for low stock prices and poor numbers of new subscribers & get rid of them but won't change diddly. New birds won't mean...

    Anyone else a little bit pi$$ed about the voom/dish thing?

    Ditto ditto ditto Yah, I'm angry like many others but it just shows that D*, E*, and cable really don't care about getting VOOM subscribers. I'm angry also because all of them don't give a rat's a@% about High Def programming also. Guess that's what makes America great. My Voom box can go...

    Voomer moved to Comcast – initial thoughts

    Comcast installed yesterday Comcast installed yesterday and no big deal. I had wires already run and all they had to do was install box. They changed all my ends to their own at junction area (said they had to do this - policy). They did not change ones entering the set(s). I only went with...

    I did it... ordered Comcast

    Voomin Jim Curious that you have to give your Voom box to Comcast. You are the first one I have heard of that happening to. Is the box Voom's or did you buy it? Offer is supposed to be dish buy back but for you is receiver buy back evidently. Evidently Comcast is not consistant country wide.

    Comcast dish buy back When I contacted Comcast (called 1-800 #) and asked about buyback offer & told them I was a VOOM customer and they were shutting down services the 30th all they said installer needed was proof of them shutting down and I was a customer. Their offer was better calling them...

    Boston area Voomers experiences going to another provider

    Well it's April 13th and looks like the curtains down in a couple of weeks for us and wonder what others will do. D*, E* or Comcast or just ride it out with locals if we can still get them with our boxes if not collected. As a previous D* subscriber I have a bad taste in my mouth due to previous...
