    To: Mr. Charles Dolan Voom/Cablevision 1/24/05 Dear Mr. Dolan, My sincere thanks for being the visionary in a bottom line world and for bringing the future to my living room wall in HD clarity. VOOM is a class offering and class is too easily discounted in today's world of bean...

    Did Voom get what it deserved?

    Oh great...I go to 4DTV.com to check out this alternative, and wind up deciding to get a few Ojo video phones for friends...always more toys! :eek: :)

    So what should I do with my Sat provider?

    I really feel for the VOOM subscribers that aren't aware of this forum, much less what is going down at some future point...VOOM really should notify every subscriber as to a service termination date when it is apparent...at least go out with a little honor (honor in business should still exist...

    Did Voom get what it deserved?

    I really hate to see the true potential of VOOM go down the drain...the company's ill-concieved efforts to back up the plus side on each of this poll's points borders on reckless ineptness...the vision was truly there, with very lame follow through...it's crucial on the onset that a new product...

    Will you stay with VOOM until it goes dark?

    I'll hang in with VOOM till the bitter end...I have no desire to rush into the vast SD wasteland of some other provider...it's a damn shame to think what might have been... :(

    A Look Back at the Start of a New Year

    In wishing you all a very happy, healthy, and successful 2005, I look forward to watching the Rose Bowl Parade tomorrow on DiscoveryHD, as it heralds the passage of time and technologies in a personal sense...it may sound like ancient history to many of you among the VOOM forum crew, but on the...

    First Reboot since last Software Update

    I was leaving them on after reading on the forum how that facilitates updates but the lock ups seemed to become more frequent after a few days of leaving them on, so I actually had better luck, initially, by shutting them off during long periods of nonuse but now I never know what to expect when...

    First Reboot since last Software Update

    After five weeks of VOOM, my two STBs have to be hard rebooted daily-the most time I've had to watch TV has been over the past few days, and have had to hard reboot ten times between the den and bedroom STBs-channels locked up over and over...the channel is locked up as soon as I turn the TVs...

    Voom in Alabama

    Joverstr2, welcome to the forum and the world of VOOM! I live in Foley and have had VOOM for a month...I've thoroughly enjoyed Equator, Rave, DiscoveryHD and other offerings and it's all worth the glitches I've encountered with rain fade and having to hard reboot often...the local channels come...

    Full sound and picture in the rain and howling winds!!

    OK, the installer got my dish back up to 95 and I'm good to go again! I still don't have the channel guide but will muddle through...After about 10 min. on one STB I had the 'stilted' motion problem again and did a hard reboot and it cleared up again...I'm hanging in there and hopeful....

    Full sound and picture in the rain and howling winds!!

    Scotty, I'm glad VOOM is weathering the storm for you...after hours of rain fade Sunday, I got home yesterday from work and the dish was completely nonfuntional-only getting locals...ironically, my installer from a week ago was next door installing VOOM for my neighbor (on my suggestion) and...

    Suddenly the guide isn't showing up and I'm not getting all the channels

    Thanks, voomvoom, sounds logical...I'll have it checked out...some of the channels have cleared up, now that it's time for bed! Please forgive the rant, everyone-I really want to love VOOM and have, to this point!

    Suddenly the guide isn't showing up and I'm not getting all the channels

    This is my sixth day with VOOM...everything was working very well, incredible HD, until I had extreme rain fade yesterday for hours-understandable I guess, as we had nearly four inches of rain...VOOM cleared up last night and all was well...since I got in from work this afternoon, I've had a mix...

    Need alternative solution for consumer without traditional land line phone

    I arranged my VOOM install with a local company that deals with all satellite providers. After having seen it pointed out here on the forum that the STB had to be conected to a phone line, I was concerned because the closest phone jack was in the kitchen and it would mean running a line to the...

    What's Your Favorite Movie Munchie?

    Black Pepper Jack or Gaucamole Doritos with Cajun Smoked Salmon dip downed with either Guinness Stout/Arizona Diet Green Tea/Mountain Dew, depending on the mood...everything goes better with VOOM! ;) Pizza isn't a muchie...it's LIFE !!! :D

    Cause For Concern?

    Yeah, Stone Man, that's what I'm talking about-like one of those early '80s music video effects we thought were cool at the time...just wanted to make sure it wasn't a recurring STB problem or more importantly, a problem with this new Sony plasma...that's the catch when you have all new stuff-is...

    Cause For Concern?

    :confused: I've had VOOM installed for three days and aside from a first night channel lock-up, everything has been perfect until a little while ago...suddenly all the channels displayed stilted motion...I checked the second install in the bedroom and it was normal...I briefly unplugged the...

    How Many HDTVs Do You Have?

    I have two new ones-Sony KDE42XBR950 plasma on the den wall, 22" Samsung LCD HD in the bedroom...excellent VOOM resolution on both! It's interesting to compare the two formats, as they both look great in different ways...

    VOOM - First Impressions

    I'm brand new to the amazing world of HD and just this week had a Sony 42" XBR950 installed on the den wall and a 22" Samsung LCD added to the bedroom and VA VA VOOM package installed...I've been lurking here for weeks, as I sought everyone's impressions of VOOM, and despite the problems I've...
