The real VoOm deal? Would someone be kind enough to post a link to a page that will tell me what the real story is with VoOm? Why was it removed from DISH? Any realistic hope of its return? Any chance DirecTV would pick up some of the channels? I really would like to get the real story...

DVB is like saying FM. The basic method of transmission betwen Voom, Dish, Direct, etc, are all Digital Video Broadcasts. However, the systems are NOT compatible as different algorhytms are used. As you could not use a Direct receiver to get Dish, you will not be able to use a Voom receiver to...

I noticed this tonight on a couple of VoOM channels. It happened occasionally with VoOM also. It will straighten itself out.

All on one guide. And to my surprise, I have the locals OTA in HD on their normal channels, plus the DISH feed of the locals high on the program guide. Good deal. I set up my favorites lists as: TOP 180 (most everything in English, except barker and shopper channels) TOP 120 (the ones we...

The DISH installer just left. He took down the VoOM dish as it is not compatibale with the DISH signal. Different polarity scheme requiring a DISH LNB. He put in a DISH 500 dual for 110 and 119 and a DISH 500 with only one LNB mounted for 61.5. We ran one new coax for 61.5 and used the two...

I had the same decision to make. Decided to wait, the deals will only get better in the future and I still can watch HD with my 811's. $250+another monthly fee is too steep for me.

The DISH installer just left. He took down the VoOM dish and LNB as the LNB is not compatibale with the DISH signal. Different polarity scheme requiring a DISH LNB. He put in a DISH 500 dual for 110 and 119 and a DISH 500 with only one LNB mounted for 61.5. We ran one new coax for 61.5 and...

The MODS (not to be confused with The MADS) should start this poll over, or have another poll. "Now that VoOM is gone, what changes in your programming have you made"? or some such. I originally answered I was thinking about DISH, now it's a done deal. Also, the ability to give multiple...

All OTAs working fine on VoOM STB as of 9:30 this Sunday evening. I pulled the sat feed on all the receivers before "the end". Pulled phone lines too. Called E* at 12:05Am and signed up for VoOM HD from them. $100 for the extra dish (they will be putting in two here as I am a new customer), but...

DISH = VOOM (for the most part). The choice, for me, is obviously already made!

got....to....have....my....MONSTERS-HD (and Equator, etc, etc.) A years commitment is not a big deal. It will take at least that long for DirecTv or anyone else to get their act together. In the meantime...VOOM LIVES WITH and HD-DVR...YES!!! Thank you Dish Network. I'm on board. In 12...

I just got off the phone with an intelligent Dish csr. Here's what they are offering: :) 1.Most of the Voom originals plus there 5 or so HD channels, Discover-HD, EPSN-HD, TNT-HD, etc. PLUS their Top 180 all for $46.97 a month for the first THREE months. :) :) 2.For months 4 thru 6...

Update, apparently the PG was confused by the Psycho! Still no signal on Rush, 124. Just me?

I'm receiving no sat signal at all (off the air) on channel 124. Monsters 121 was in black for quite a while this afternoon, on the air, but no programming. 121 is back but program doesn't match EPG. Just an observation. :confused: 1-800-WOW-HDTV Dish line for Voom customers STARTING May...

MONSTERS-HD LIVES!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Since I can't have Voom, I'll have to do a deal with Dish. As long as I get Monsters and Equator, I'll be happy (for the moment). Thanks to everyone at Voom and Dish who worked this out. I just called Dish...

Dear Mr. Dolan, Thank you believing in the HD dream, as we did. Your service was ahead of its time. Perhaps we will meet again when the time is right. Monsters was a dream come true for me. Now the real nightmare begins. I will really miss VoOM and Monsters. Thank you for all you've done. ...

Be cool truggy0. Let's see what news tomorrow may bring. I'd hate seeing someone who looks like you go on a rampage!!! Just have to sit tight tonight and watch the pretty pictures and see what the new day brings...

Yes, Is there a TIME known for Friday's announcement???

This just strikes me as strange: 1) Voom is running promos for material that isn't scheduled to air until Sunday and beyond...AFTER the supposed shutdown. 2) I just checked, my STB program guide has been updated and is now filled until Sunday at Noon ET, just as it should have been, showing...

Let's see, if we can have everyone keep their stb's on til the end, we can kill em all... Sorry, just the pesimist in me.

Hmmm...we've only heard from a couple of people who claim to be shut off prematurely by VoOm. Any others??? Maybe these were just errors on one end or the other. If boxes start going down and we know that they are killing them prematurely, I will not be happy. I was planning on staying at the...

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE given enough time and money. These positive thoughts are much better than all the moaning going on in most threads. LOOK how many people are here on this Friday evening, still curious about a service that is waiting to die. Amazing. I hope the VoOM forum, or some...

HEY VOOM... If you'd like make a few dollars on this satellite deal, leave the OTA portion of the box working. The folks who bought the box will feel a bit better, being able to use it for OTAs, and those who were leasing the box - you could SELL them the OTA at a reasonable price, so they...

On MONSTERS tonight, I saw pixelation (blocking) during scenes with lightning flashing while they were showing "Invaders From Mars" (86 version). I also watched the same movie the last time it was shown and did not see the artifacts. Maybe they are still optimizing things, but at the moment it...
