    Voom Equipment

    I received a letter from voom yesterday in which is stated that voom will be ending service on the 30th. It also said that all I need to do as a customer is search for a new provider for tv broadcast. No mention of returning the boxes or dish. Sounds like they aren't going to waste their time...

    FCC help for Dolan Unlikely

    "Even if the elder Dolan fails at the FCC, he could persuade Cablevision's board to reverse itself and take the satellite off the table." This is an interesting thought, but wonder if E* would have been nice enough to allow this in their agreement. I smell a possible lawsuit in the works.

    2 New Channels added

    Not sure I understand why they would waste the bandwidth and money to add 2 spanish channels since they aren't going to grab the spanish speaking population without a significant lineup. At least they are growing, just wish it would be with some worthwhile content to help out their future.

    Voom Down?!?!?

    I had been watching Voom for about 30 min and all of a sudden I'm getting no signal. I went to the satellite dish installation screen and have a reading of 0 coming in where it has never been below 97 before. I tried to reboot and still no luck. Anyone else having this problem? :eek:

    HELP - STB Channel Surf/Picture Freeze/Installation menu N/A..

    I just had voom installed Friday in Alexandria, VA (just outside DC). I am having the same issues as described and was upset when I saw how poor it worked. Glad to hear it's not typical performance.

    No honor on Promotion.

    Wow, thanks for posting that!!! I just had a chat with Tiffany P myself. The offer wasn't added on to my account just the same. Fortunately since it hasn't been installed yet she was able to change it for me. Anyone out there who ordered the 2 months free online, you might want to call and...

    No honor on Promotion.

    What was their reasoning for not giving you the deal? Have me wondering whether I'll get charged full price or not now :)

    stock action-a signal of what coming

    The volume isn't all that high when comparing it to that of the past week. There was some heavy trading this morning, likely because of some gamblers speculating on the news stories in the WSJ. The stock is up though, which tells me most people are betting that one way or another JD and...

    Some good/bad News (Depending how you want to take it)

    I know I'm a few pages late, but reguarding the 60 days notice... "WARN also provides for less than 60 days notice when the layoffs resulted from closure of a faltering company, unforeseeable business circumstances, or a natural disaster." http://www.dol.gov/asp/programs/guide/layoffs.htm...
