    Did Voom get what it deserved?

    Oh great...I go to 4DTV.com to check out this alternative, and wind up deciding to get a few Ojo video phones for friends...always more toys! :eek: :)

    So what should I do with my Sat provider?

    I really feel for the VOOM subscribers that aren't aware of this forum, much less what is going down at some future point...VOOM really should notify every subscriber as to a service termination date when it is apparent...at least go out with a little honor (honor in business should still exist...

    Did Voom get what it deserved?

    I really hate to see the true potential of VOOM go down the drain...the company's ill-concieved efforts to back up the plus side on each of this poll's points borders on reckless ineptness...the vision was truly there, with very lame follow through...it's crucial on the onset that a new product...

    Will you stay with VOOM until it goes dark?

    I'll hang in with VOOM till the bitter end...I have no desire to rush into the vast SD wasteland of some other provider...it's a damn shame to think what might have been... :(

    A Look Back at the Start of a New Year

    In wishing you all a very happy, healthy, and successful 2005, I look forward to watching the Rose Bowl Parade tomorrow on DiscoveryHD, as it heralds the passage of time and technologies in a personal sense...it may sound like ancient history to many of you among the VOOM forum crew, but on the...

    First Reboot since last Software Update

    I was leaving them on after reading on the forum how that facilitates updates but the lock ups seemed to become more frequent after a few days of leaving them on, so I actually had better luck, initially, by shutting them off during long periods of nonuse but now I never know what to expect when...

    First Reboot since last Software Update

    After five weeks of VOOM, my two STBs have to be hard rebooted daily-the most time I've had to watch TV has been over the past few days, and have had to hard reboot ten times between the den and bedroom STBs-channels locked up over and over...the channel is locked up as soon as I turn the TVs...

    Voom in Alabama

    Joverstr2, welcome to the forum and the world of VOOM! I live in Foley and have had VOOM for a month...I've thoroughly enjoyed Equator, Rave, DiscoveryHD and other offerings and it's all worth the glitches I've encountered with rain fade and having to hard reboot often...the local channels come...

    Full sound and picture in the rain and howling winds!!

    OK, the installer got my dish back up to 95 and I'm good to go again! I still don't have the channel guide but will muddle through...After about 10 min. on one STB I had the 'stilted' motion problem again and did a hard reboot and it cleared up again...I'm hanging in there and hopeful....

    Full sound and picture in the rain and howling winds!!

    Scotty, I'm glad VOOM is weathering the storm for you...after hours of rain fade Sunday, I got home yesterday from work and the dish was completely nonfuntional-only getting locals...ironically, my installer from a week ago was next door installing VOOM for my neighbor (on my suggestion) and...
