    offer from dish...this is better!!!!

    GGGRRR to E* All apologies if I have duplicated any information from other threads or even from this thread. I have read so much information in the past 2 weeks that my head is pounding. Anywho. Finally decided to call E*. Miss Monsters and Equator too much to not have and living on OTA has...

    WGN & Starz Edge

    Update? When I left for work this morning, there was no information on any new channels after I pushed the VOOM button. Are they up and running now?

    jumping ship over broken promises?

    Kudo's Lobstah could not have said it better myself! I've never seen such a collection of whiney babies anywhere in my entire life! Been VOOM'ing for 4 months now and can not imagine going back to any other sat provider. E* & D* both suck in my opinion, PQ-wise (yes, VOOM has had it's issues...

    Voom Alive! --- 21 days & counting (post sale of Rainbow 1)

    Voom . . . still kicking As of 6:30 AM EST, Voom continues to transmit programming. I guess the whole, we only have funding through 1/31/05 was a falsehood. That's good news. Hopefully, Sean will have some details on the ??meeting?? from yesterday and we can maybe get some concrete answers...

    Voom Alive! --- 21 days & counting (post sale of Rainbow 1)

    Paid Programming Still Alive 1:34 EST and am watching a Voom infomercial. This is the 3rd or 4th I have seen this week while channel surfing. Not sure if this is a good sign - why push the service if it's about to fold or no funding after 1/31 - or. it's a bad thing, because this...

    Will you stay with VOOM until it goes dark?

    Of course, what Voomer would not? I have only had this system for about a month, but it has been the most wonderful experience. I could not have hoped or dreamed for a better sat system. Had D* for years, but dropped them real quick last month in favor of Voom and their superior HD offerings...

    Jame, I am also in VA. Newport News. Maybe we Virginians have the inside track to the effortless installs. Very happy with ota as well. I am only unable to pick up UPN and that's no great loss! I am glad there are a few of us out there that have had these positive experiences and can say...

    Hope for NEWBIE'S

    Got my Voom install earlier today. Have been researching getting it for months. Was scared to take the plunge due to all the negative comments on this forum and others. Then the 3 rooms for a $1 promotion came around and I could not pass it up. Scheduled my appoinmtment for today between 1...
