    All 10 Voom channels now on Dish Network

    they might release a module you plug in that does mpeg4 so no need to buy another receiver just buy the module. they did it before for the 6000 with the 8psk module

    DISH to carry all 21 in 2006

    you could put twice as many hd channels on mpeg4 so the reason 2006 they will offer twice the voom channels. charlie has done this in the past with ethnic channels that were on fta/another mpeg2 system on kuband they migrated everyone over to dishnet so he's doing the same thing here which is...

    All 10 Voom channels now on Dish Network

    You know what this has been a blessing in disguise for me, first off its very easy to subscribe to dishnetwork without having any installers coming over meaning over the border in canada those can susbscribe to dishnet like me. I'm glad voom went bankrupt for this to happen. Second I think its...

    Will the Voom Forum Be Taken Off?

    in other words when they flip the switch on may 1st and everyone will scramble in here to write and vex their concerns, after people stop vexxing and move on then this forum will be gone?

    What about purchased receivers??

    actually what is the warranty of these boxes 1 year? So technicallly they should offer 1 year service so they can also fullfil the warranty as well. What happens to those who bought boxes months before the shutdown are they still covered under warranty?

    New shutdown notice, the 'Voom' screen:

    oh geez you could get those channels on dishnet minus starz/cinemax/tmc/universal.

    Charlie Chat and Voom 21

    this is ridiculous if they knew they were going to switch to mp4 they shouldn't brought out the 942 receiver and still selling the 811/921's. Still its a smart move in a sense that he'll probably not move the standard definition channels to mp4 since theres just too many receivers out there to...

    Common sense says VOOM/HD Select is not dead!

    you could get the 942 model it has 3 tuners in 1, HD you can use, there's a second output for your friend and both can use the tuner or hard disk to view programming as for the ota stuff only can see it on the hd tv. BTW whats the deal with the 922 you can get one free if you sub for a year?

    [VOOM] New rumor

    Voom to revert back the way they first started that is offering the channels free and in the clear again. This maybe possible if they plan on marketing the voom 21 exclusives, they'd need to use transponder space somewhere that would be an awesome thing to do get rid of voom but leave the 21...

    MAY 2005 shows on Voom

    maybe they'll revert back the way they first started and that is offer the channels in the clear again (free) the voom21 exclusives while they try marketing it to cable co's. that would be a nice thing to do and I'd probably buy a voom receiver off ebay to see them.

    Does A Leopard Change It's Spots...?

    You know what doesn't make sense, the transponders, doesn't charles dolan own the transponders or should I say Voom? They could stop taking orders but still keep the satellites up and running for awhile since they plan to have voom 21 exclusives on cable co's and other satellite providers...

    Now that's Voom's fate is know.

    it boils down to what charles is going to do with the transponders on 61.5, if it goes to dishnet it would be nice if he offered the voom exclusives and dishnet would carry the torch so to speak and then migrate everyont to dishnet, it has been done with international channels that were on...

    Where are all the VOOMERS Going?

    you know if charles dolan was smart, he'd sell the 61.5 transponder lots on condition dishnet carries his hd channels, this way dishnet can migrate everyone to their system this way. it has happened in the past where there were some international channels on the regular fta kuband receivers...

    No Rumors, just wishfull thinking

    dishnetwork did do something i remember when there were some international channels on the kuband satellites, they couldn't get enough members so they removed them but before they removed them they sent memo to those who want those same channels to get them on dishnetwork. So maybe just maybe...

    no voom in canada, too bad..

    I have a feeling though some big conglomerate company is going to buy voom's bankrupcy assets and if that is the case maybe just maybe the policy will change on the self-installs which will allow canadians to subscribe if they got a u.s address. Really in Canada if there is 10mil directv...
