    Echostar issues statement regarding Tivo

    I haven't posted for awhile, but this post made me! This is the biggest misinformation I have read in a while. The first Tivo box was released for public availability in April 1999. I had one myself since June 1999. It was a Tivo box and made by Philips Electronics, who build the first boxes for...

    We Really Had It Great With Voom!!

    FIOS will only be availeble in a few cities in the next 4 till 5 years. So, great if you live in one of those markets, but guess what, not everyone lives there. And yes, miss my Voom!

    OLN Dropped by Dish over Programming Disputes

    CP, I disagree with you on that. In my opinion he is. It is the game he plays over and over again. When Dish was dropping the Viacom programming, he stated that no one was watching Noggin and it wouldn't be missed. Till he got a bunch of mothers complaining that their toodlers were watching the...

    OLN Dropped by Dish over Programming Disputes

    I am getting sick of Charlie playing censor. Because that's what he's doing over and over again. He's a distributor and need to stay out of the contents of the channels. That's none of his business. He uses power where he shouldn't.

    Is this comparable with the Super DMA's Voom used to have?

    If you are currently experiencing problems with the 110 satellites...

    Didn't check this forum before, but did reset my SW64 switch. Not a smart thing to do. It's not recognizing 110 at all anymore, not the odd or even transponders. Guess have to do that again when sat is back.... But for now, 110 seems to be a dead puppy......

    I Got My Refund Today !!

    My credit card was on file, because I made my last payment 3 days before the shutdown. But today, I got the check for the refund. I really think Voom/Cablevision handled at least this the correct way. But I still would choose to have Voom and in that case I would be glad to give my check back...

    Sirius to broadcast BBC 1

    This is great! Only hope that they will not cut the quality of the feed like they do on some of the other entertainment channels (like NPR, even Disney channel). Maybe it's just the feed itself to Sirius, but I hope that we will hear this in a decent quality.....

    Last VOOM Statement

    I still don't get that decision either. Especially, when you realize that they put a (close to) 17 Billion dollar cash bid on the table for Adelphia. Fell thru, but still they were able to make that bid.

    Last VOOM Statement

    GOt my statement on the 14th, and yes, there was the $449 loyal customer credit (as expected). But I miss vOom so bad....... still haven't turned on the HD and Voom pack at Dish, because it isn't as compelling. I miss some of the channels on Voom21 and their standard package. And I am even...

    Last VOOM Statement

    You should. I did and the CSR mentioned I had a credit balance of 400 bucks or something like that. Bought 1 receiver, November 2003. Now waiting till they finally start sending out the checks or putting it back on my CC. I am sure you should get back a bunch of money with 2 receivers, but don't...

    6000 OTA Module noise question...

    Thanks Darrell. Found some info on AVS. I, for now, took the fan off and will monitor the box over the next few days. I also will buy me a much better, more quiet fan, just in case the box will start acting up. But for now, it seems ok.

    6000 OTA Module noise question...

    I finally pulled ouit the attic my 6000 receiver (for the Voom channels and local OTA) and remember one of the reasons I hated that thing. The fan noise on the OTA module.... :mad: Anyone ever tried to remove or replace the fan from that module and receiver still working (not to hot)? Did they...

    Are You Vooming Again On Dish Yet?

    Sean, somewhere I read you had issues with the Voom channels on the 6000. What kind of issues did you have? Are those resolved? Don't want to activate the box if there are issues with it.

    One last Voom statement?

    Huh? Did you receive service till April 30th? In that case, your logic really does not make any sense. One is not related to the other. If you received service during the month of April, yes, you have an obligation to pay. Just my opinion.

    Does anyone have an update on Final Statement?

    I haven't seen or received any info on my final statement. Is there ever going to be one?

    Are You Vooming Again On Dish Yet?

    Yep, we were so spoiled!!! :) I am still not vooming, although I am trying to bring up the second dish. I already had this dish for one or two locals, but it went out some time last year. However, couldn't get a lock. Wondering if my 64 switch has a problem. But 110 and 119 coming in fine thru...

    Voom's Dead

    Sorry Darrell, don't agree with you. Voomin was not just watching the 21 originals. You will now have 10, better than nothing. But it isn't Vooming unfortunately. Just 10 channels Voom was also carrying.... And I will miss your Voom posts!!

    Voom on Dish isn't Voom

    I am very sorry and don't understand the excitement of Voom21 on Dish Network. It's just not the same. Some of the SD channels on Voom looked much better. Examples were WE, Fox Soccer Channel. Then there were SD channels that are not on Dish. CNN International and ESPN Desportes by...

    Who's staying up until Zero hour tonight?

    I will try. Haven't planned anything, bu my 2 little ones took the energy out of me. But I will try with a few Heinny's around. It will be a sad, sad night. I already had E* (in addition to Voom) but my heart was with Voom. And I just wish that they would have made it as a full service provider...

    Here's the Real EchoStar deal for Voomers...

    Will Voom10 be on the E* sat at 61.5 or will they stay on R1 for now? I have to play with my 64 switch and like to know what cables to plug in come tomorrow.
