    VOOM adds 5 new channels!

    Yep. The Country Music Channel came a week too late. Had to switch to D* in order to keep the peace. (and it's alternate spellings!)

    Bug in version 7.2x, (anyone else?)

    Mine just drops to raster and I have to reboot. That's it for me, guys. I'm out. I finally quit talkin' and made the call. I wish you all the very best.

    How to help VOOM

    Uh... maybe that's because the OTA signal is free? Because it doesn't sell anything but tuners? You are thinking of OTA as a VOOM related service. OTA was there before VOOM, and it will be there after VOOM is gone. No. Sorry. With VOOM's OTA tuner on display Best Buy would never sell...

    How to help VOOM

    My two cents Lots of good insights, Ladies and Gents. But nobody has come out and clarified that the question ("Where the heck are all the subs?") is really a two-part question: 1. Why aren't new people signing up for VOOM? and... 2. Why don't existing subs KEEP VOOM for very long...

    **Rumor:** Dish Network and Voom combined?

    Interesting... It's a rumor that's tasty enough to keep me as a Voom customer for another couple of weeks. (But I swear if my local Fox affilliate keeps blinking out during my beloved Cardinals/Rams games, I'm going to return my rented STB in 3 inch pieces.)

    Free 6 Months of VOOM

    Call the FBI! Dzizko kidnapped my Avitar! An investigation is underway at the highest levels.

    How Howard Stern's move may effect Voom.

    Well, by all means... Don't miss an opportunity to blame Bush for something. Because, let's not forget, Dubya is in charge of the entertainment industry and decides the content of all entertainment product. I understand that he even coded some of the object icons in the "Grand Theft Auto 3"...

    FINALLY A FIX! Thanks VOOM!

    My low-volume issue with Fox News has been resolved! Thank you VOOM!

    So what are the main stations Voom is missing in their programming?

    The spirit of the question... The guy is just looking for the laundry list of content we want to see. It's a fair question and one that has been kicked around before. Content is important. So, recapping, and summarizing based on this and past threads: #1 HGTV - Hands down, we gotta...

    Is there a real manual for the voom receiver somewhere?

    You are reading it, Bub! The complete, unauthorized manual!

    Just have to comment about MOOV!

    In defence of Moov... I dig it. Yes, there is always an "I'd rather have X channel" that wins out. I have a couple of those preferred channels myself. But the fact is NOT that I can't have Country Music Television for the missus because there is some stupid artsy-fartsy channel in the...

    Voom Will Survive If:

    Oy. This just cannot pass without regard. I bow before the uber-smartass. Bravo.

    Is it REALLY that hard to fix the low volume on FoxNews?

    How hard can it be to boost the incomming/outgoing low volume? Can't somebody at the earth station tweak a knob? This is silly. At first I was just so happy to get FNC that it didn't matter. Now I don't understand why the volume levels can't match the other channels. I'll watch FNC...

    Current Issues with VOOM's PQ

    Don't forget the low volume on Fox News Channel That low volume attenuation is problematic. They must think that conservative thinking makes your ears extra sensitive.

    Anybody else Vooming in the Gateway City? Don't leave an old Scotsman hangin'.
