    Are the VOOM 21 Channels coming to DirecTV?

    Ah well, by '06 I think I'll be back with Dish, unless cable gets the Voom channels. As far as FOX doing better..., I loved the cool stuff like Gallery, Rush, Equator and the quirky but great movie selection (some of which I could not get on DVD). Best TV I had ever seen, by far.

    Are the VOOM 21 Channels coming to DirecTV?

    After seven years with Dish I basically had stopped watching TV. Then I got Voom and went "WOW!" I started watching again, pretty much the Voom HD Exclusives only. Voom went down, now I just watch DVDs and basic cable, but am starting to explore the possibilities of jumping back to sat after...

    My Dish Experience (BAD)

    Hey, I just shared MY personal experience. You must be a lucky guy, or are not a former Dish subscriber, so you go to a different cue (for new succers:-), where they are faster and nicer. Also, unless you are an installer or a dealer (also a different cue), having to call "over 15 times"...

    Never Going Back to Dish

    Since hearing that 10 of the Voom 21 HD channels are moving to Dish, I called Dish today to swith back. Had forgotten how bad they were: after half an hour wait, I got a rep who had no idea what Voom or Voom channels were. He transferred me to another department, but since nobody picked up...

    My Dish Experience (BAD)

    Called Dish today. Had forgotten how bad they were: after half an hour wait, I got a rep who had no idea what Voom or Voom channels were. He transferred me to another department, but since nobody picked up, after 20 minutes I gave up. Called back later. Less wait, but the woman who answered...

    Thank You letters to VOOM and Charles Dolan

    Voom was television worth watching. Before Voom I had been a Dish subscriber for over 7 years, mostly by force of habit and I had all but stopped watching TV. Voom 21 changed this, alas for too short of a time. Thank you for the best (by far) programming and a great service.

    POLL: After VOOM, who will be your provider?

    Without the Voom 21 programming, I am not going back to E* (was with them for over 7 years, blah). The others are not even an option: D*'s PQ IMHO is worse than E*, and my cable is the worst of them all. So I just got an AverMedia HD Tuner card for my MCE 2005 to be able to get all the OTA HD...

    Charlie Chat and Voom 21

    Yeah, well, Gallery and Equator are actually great, and even Auction has some very good shows. Monsters and Kung Fu are not really my cup of tea, never saw anything I wanted to watch on them, but guess they have an audience too. Lab was really the only one one that I felt could be axed, but I...

    Charlie Chat and Voom 21

    Hm, I've had 7 years of Charlie chatting. That's a lot of chatting, but little doing. Give him another 5 years of chatting, then maybe we'll see couple of extra HD channels. Of course, he'll compress the hell out of them, so they all look like c**p, so we'll all be forced to pay $5 for...

    I've just received this email from Voom...

    "No major change?!!?" Oh, not really, just going from TV and PQ actually worth watching, to c**p PQ and c**p content. No major change at all.... I don't think you get it. If I wanted D* or E*, I would have stuck with it. But both are c**p, really. Maybe in 5-7 years they might be where Voom...

    What happens Apr 18--autopsy, funeral, or burial?

    Exactly my experience. Voom 21 has content that you can't get anywhere else. It is TV worth watching. Even if not everything was for everyone, there was enough of a variety to please most. I can't see myself going back to E* or D* without something like the Voom 21 package. I have Netflix...

    What happens Apr 18--autopsy, funeral, or burial?

    Wow, how many movies a day do you watch:-) Actually, the movie channels are just fine, since they show stuff that is not generally available elsewhere and sometimes is not even on DVD. The real loss to me is Equator, Gallery, Rush, RAVE, Auction and yes, the movie channels..., I liked them...

    Another Move????

    This is a bit unfair to Voom as an entity and those who work at Voom. Cablevision and its management are the ones who would have been giving the orders upon Voom would have been required to act, so they are the ones deserving of most of your ire. Also, Dolan Sr. seems to have put up a...

    Anything is possible but in all fairness...

    I'd been with Dish for over 7 years before I switched to Voom. Without the Voom HD exclusives, neither D* or E* are getting me back: there is just so little I watched there and the PQ was just so pathetic on a larger monitor. Between Netflix and the Internet, I think I'll just stick to HD OTA...

    Why would anyone cancel?! What would one gain from doing so?
