You can reboot and unplug cables all you want, the message is not going to change. www.voom.com Actually, judging from your posts over the last week, you've talked a lot about Voom on Dish (no WorldSport), Dish HD receivers, Dish HD pricing and whether or not the Voom dish can be used...

For the record, I still come to the 'new Voom' posts first when I come to this forum, and I am switching to D*, not E*...

That's not what I wanted to hear... :river

...will be shut off? Or will we have service all day Saturday, and it will be shut off Saturday night? I am wondering when to schedule my pending D* install for. Do I try for Saturday? Do I wait till Sunday? (if Sunday install is even available) Now, I know a few hours isn't going to be a...

I'm sure they're more than happy to turn you over to collections for services rendered... No one is happy they're shutting down, but any of us that didn't cancel service early owe right up to the April 30 shutdown.

Robert, Just to clarify for anyone considering this out there, the Tivo $50 rebate only applies to the first box, and each additional is full price - correct? Thanks for all the help by the way - I'm obviously disapointed to see Voom go away, but looking forward to getting D* installed!

You're comparing Voom to Bose??? :shocked That's not the way to get any sympathy... ;)

Point taken... :neener Regardless, the consequence of making the wrong decision is much more tolerable (especially financially!) with a television provider... :yes

...options, I would probably go that route and keep an eye on the satellite developments. Unfortunately that's not an option, so I either go with D* or E*, or buy an OTA receiver (unless Voom never picks their's up, and it works forever for OTA) and live with the limited cable offerings we have...

...provider that best fits MY SITUATION. Anyone that is going to pay the above prices needs to shop around. The deal I am planning on taking with D* is 4 rooms - 1 HD receiver, 1 Tivo and two standard receivers for $389 (no shipping or tax) before $250 rebate. That means basically paying...

That was definitely the way I was leaning until D* announced the $200 rebate. A few things have swayed me back towards D*, although the E* HD-DVR is still VERY tempting... 1. All the talk of buggy E* software. I work in technical support, so I could probably live with the frustration from...

If my cable company offered HD, I'd certainly consider it...

They don't have MANY, but they do have SOME...

Working fine for me. I'd think you better call them now, because if you tell them after April 30 that you lost service on April 8, they aren't going to believe you.

Man, why didn't someone come up with the idea of upgrading last night when the story "broke"??? :(

Exactly - both "official" news releases and their own website have proven wrong in the past. And this story is per a "source". I think my optimism finally turned to pesimism tonight, but after all that has gone on the last 3 months, no one outside of that board room can know anything for sure at...

A lot of people said the same thing when we were speculating whether we'd even be able to see the Super Bowl. Then when the webpage 'shut down'. Then when the March 31 date was announced. Then... Now, more than ever, I believe this is the end of Voom. I truly do. But things have looked pretty...

I couldn't have said it better... (on page 1, I had no words, only smilies)

I hate to even ask the question already, but has anyone out there done their homework to determine what kind of deals for HD are out there for new customers (HD cable isn't available in my area)?

:no :river :down :no :river :down (I can come up with no words at the moment)

I say they use that salary money to get the RSN's on Voom so I can watch the Twins and Wolves, and cancel my basic cable. I suppose they might as well throw a bunch of that money to the DVR too! :yes

And in January, we were worried about a shut-down before the Super Bowl...

What percentage of customers do you suppose even know there are problems with Voom? I would have to think that there are a lot of customers that don't make it a habit to go out and read on the internet daily about the TV provider...

Something I had been thinking but hadn't read anyone else mention was that it had to be one of the most un-professional web messages I could immagine. No 'we regret to inform you', no 'unfortunately', no 'we thank our dedicated customers'.... Just 'no new customers, and we're shutting down by...
