    I Got My Refund Today !!

    I was looking at my credit card account online also because that is the way I originally purchased the equipment. My monthly payments were automatically deducted. I did not mail the payments monthly. Be looking for a Cablevision envelope! It is not a rebate by the way. It is refunded to those...

    I Got My Refund Today !!

    Yeah baby Just got home and what did I find in the mail box but a check from Cablevision in the amount of $628.04. These guys really did not let us down. When I first started pondering the thought that Voom would shut down after the sale of Rainbow 1 to E*, I got this sick feeling that I...

    Used Voom Box + Lost PIN = ?

    reset I guess the seller deserves a load of bad feed back since they're just offing used equipment that they refuse to find the code for. Bad customer service and zero support. These people make ebay and Voom look bad. sorry, me

    Last VOOM Statement

    I received my final statement from Voom today. It reflects a "Customer Loyalty Credit" of $648.00, minus $19.96 for the period between April 19-April 30. So with the original purchase of 2 STB's, one at the cost of $399 and one at the cost of $299 back in October of 2004, I'm supposedly getting...

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

    Pq I think the pq of the SD channels is better on E* than they were on Voom. The pq of the Voom channels is the same. I use an 811, but I've heard that the HD pq is even better with the 942. I cannot speak to the SD capabilities of the 942, but I find it hard to believe that it will not do SD...

    Pure Speculation

    being patient spahoose, You've been most helpful with this new info. This thread was linked to another thread and I'm wondering why it isn't more active. Anyway, I may sound disheartened and a little upset, but realise that they still have some time before they send out the final invoice...

    Pure Speculation

    $0.00 balance I bought two boxes from the outset and stayed until the end. I did not cancel the service. I guess I'm not one of the lucky ones to get a credit. I just called and checked my account balance. So far it shows no credit. But thanks for the phone number anyway. me

    Pure Speculation

    What account? When you say account, do you mean the account the money was originally drawn from in order to pay for the equipment, the Voom account that we no longer have access to online, or the account that the monthly service fees were paid from? I'd like to give them a call too, can...

    Send Dish a Message

    Do you consider the CSR's to be E*, because they are the ones insisting that former Voom subs need a antenna upgrade when in fact they don't. All I'm asking is that they get their info straight. Is that too much to ask. If it's costing E* so much money, why do they insist on this needless...

    Opinions wanted from those who swtiched to Dish HD Package???

    As a side note, or question. Someone posted above that the 811 will not work with the Legacy LNB's and equipment. I have a Model 6000 and just bought a 811 which has not arrived yet. Will I be able to hook the 811 in with my current hardware or is there hardware incompatibilities I am looking...

    Dish HD Pack ONLY For Someone Without $$

    I have an 811 that I bought at www.craigslist.org for $125.00 . There are listings regionally, and some people just want there used equipment picked up and out of there hair. Thats where I lucked out because at the same time I was picking up my 811 from a craigslist seller, I had a maximum bid...

    has anyone with the 811 run into this

    Same story here. Scanned locals, get no channel info, just the accurate digital channel displayed and no program info. I hope it can be resolved. Might it be something to do with the line in for OTA is not merged with the coax that comes form the dish via diplexer? BTW, mine is not the Voom...

    Instructions for Adding the 61.5 - revised 05/04

    OK, I'm picking up my Dish 500 TWIN Legacy and SW21 at lunch time today. Does the line start at the Voom dish (dual LNB), then go through the diplexer that I illustrated on a previous post, then to the SW21 and then to the 811? And, Does one coax from D500 twin go to that same SW21 while the...
