    Kids Place Live is not equal to Kids Stuff

    That explains an awful lot. Nevermind changing a channels format due to market research. This was purely money driven then. Commercials vs no commercials. Since in the minds of bean counters the two channels were catering to the same audience... of course get rid of the channel that doesnt...

    Kids Place Live is not equal to Kids Stuff

    Yeah, I'm aware the programming was ripped straight from XM, after all the DJs kept referring to XM followed by oh our new Sirius listeners. As for letting the change grow on me, in few years maybe, but not for a two year old. Especially one that doesn't need to be listening to the Jonas...

    Kids Place Live is not equal to Kids Stuff

    Does anyone else completely hate the Kids Place Live channel that Sirius/XM replaced Kids Stuff with. I have a toddler and as a result spend a majority of our time on the Kids Stuff channel. This new format for a lack of better words is annoying as all get out. When my wife took my daughter...

    Call from V* about E*

    The person on the call doesn't pretent to be a Voom employee, he only notes that he is with the Voom Conversion Center, which of course would lead some to believe that, ok yeah this person is from Voom. But there is no actual wrong doing in the call, underhanded yes... wrong no... I do wonder...

    Signed up for twc, here is the offer they gave me

    I had problems signing up for TWC as well when I asked for a cableCARD too. The rep kept pushing the box saying how much better it was and that I wouldn't get my HD programs. After awhile she admitted that I would get my HD but that I would have to pay a high service fee to get the card...

    Got Adelphia. May god have mercy on my soul!!!!!

    Don't worry guys, cuz I've had a similar experience with convincing the Time Warner CSRs that knew what I was talking about... I think everyone is being reminded of additional reasons why they opted out of using their old cable or satellite provider beyond that of simply Voom having the most HD.

    Post Voom ... Time Warner CSR lying?

    BTW... I called back and asked for a manager in regards to the mis-information that I was provided by the CSR, at first he noted that the CSR was providing information based on what they felt was the best option. When I mentioned that I had filled out a out a complaint via the FCC website due...

    Post Voom ... Time Warner CSR lying?

    Vicki, CableCARDs are a federally backed and are in the process of being mandated as a primary option to customers within the next year. They were meant to help customers out in easing the cost of cable as well as shorten the transition time between analog and digital broadcasts. But as of...

    Post Voom ... Time Warner CSR lying?

    I called Time Warner here in Austin, TX today (as much as I fought it they unfortunately are the next best thing in my area which isn't saying much but then again what is as good as Voom?) During the course of my discussion with the CSR I brought up the subject of getting a CableCARD instead of...

    Dell / VooM???

    Got my hopes up there for a second with the title. I was hoping that someone found out that since Voom and Dell seem to be in bed together that they had started giving discounts to Dell Employees... Damn I guess I will have to keep my fingers crossed and keep hopin that they will make their...

    Do I need the phone line connected

    Just had my Voom installed yesterday and when this was done the installer didn't connect the phone line. When I asked him about it, he said it wasn't necessary. Since this is my first dish I'm a little puzzled as to what the purpose of the phone line was for, since normally this would be for PPV.
