Ok, Lab is ok for some of us but I really liked my RAVE! It's now cut down to only 9 hours a day (of some very old re-runs). PLEASE Voom, that was the best thing you had going as far as I was concerned. Please bring some more content into RAVE and expand it back to a atleast a 1/2 day...

Got mine, $428.xx - Makes the whole picture even clearer, but I still miss the Voom service, nothing will touch it for some time by the way things look. Charles, Giv'n the Voom left-overs to James- Com'on! Thought you were in it for the long run for us Voom'ers.... Afid the saga is coming...

Would you mind telling us how many receivers and if you owed a balance so we can try to get a idea on how much they are booting for the stb's? This is great great news!!! GG PS, I still miss my VoOm!

Thank you kind members that helped! GG

Sorry, It was on 5/26/05 I found the ref on another forum. GG

In Dish'es Charlie Chat from 5/26/05, they talked about flashing the voom receivers for Dish, and were looking into it, since there are > 150k recievers set for voom. Now if they could have just done that a month ago for all us voomers That wanted to keep viewing!! I really hope they do...

I have not got anything since the clock hit zero. Called about he charter member box credit and nothing there either. So I guess we just stay hanging. GG :(

Is the cam not the card itself?? At least in the case of NV, With a DVB decoder and a valid card I assumed that would get dish (With their blessing of course). As far as the title, it may turn out not to be a fact - I was only trying to start a dialog, if it turns out to be untrue then the...

Hi, Lilyarbile! glad to finally hear some constructive discussion on the subject!! I want to figure out too what the box is really capable of. With over 40k box's not far from paperweights I thought any info on possible other uses would be welcome. Please pm me and let me know where your...

Yes, it can with a software download! I rebut, I have seen many posts on this board where it was said the hardware would not EVER support it, Again all I am doing with this post is FYI If no one is interested in this info and only wants to argue then mods please delete, I will go away. gg

Only a FYI. GG

This has been dis'd many times on this board but look what I found while looking over datasheets of at the actual chips used in the DSR-550 (the voom receiver) The whole box is built around this chip from broadcom "BC7035", see the product brief here...

I called yesterday, no credit on my account yet. Fingers crossed, Any one else get/not get credit yet? GG

Glad to hear CVS is still out there for us? By jnardone: "Cablevision will eventually make good on their agreement (within two to three weeks according to the CSR's)" If this is true then I feel better already, However everyone that is in this boat with me should let your voice be heard in...

Voom Did not go out of business! Cablevision never separated VOOM from their business, they simply pulled the plug and ya did an f-u to us charter members, It is time to re-read the terms of agreement and get a lawyer involved, by numbers even a few hundred of us can make it happen, perhaps...
