    THose who CANNOT get cable, which are you choosing--D*, E* or Starchoice?

    What now with Voom gone? As a family we have decided to take full advantage of the fine upgraded OTA antenna that Voom provided. WE have an "all you can rent deal" with Hollywood Video, so we'll watch only what we are willing to get off our asses for. Maybe we spend more time on other...

    Payment for Referrals

    I think I can speak for many people here when I say, you're not out of luck. Worst case, When the May, june and July bills come, don't pay em. But I'm pretty sure that voom won't even send you a bill. At least if it was my company, that is how I would handle it.

    just got of the phone with a csr

    Hope I don't accidentally put the broken widget that needs to go to acme service, in the Voom container and the Voom STB in the Acme box. Iaccidently did that once before when a company sent me copier toner, and tried to bill me way too much, they asked me to return the toner. But somehow...

    Voom should enable OTA permanently!

    Actually, Voom could contract directly with the Canadian company to do the collection, and refurbishment, saying for each box you collect agree to pay us $67.68 or some other dollar amount. The Canadian Company would collect as many as possible and do the refurb, and save maybe $200 each over...

    Voom Ipod?? If voom is going to be a delivery provider Voom can't compete being the accessory service, they have to be the core service. Although I love HD, I don't think HDNEWS satisfy my need for news, And there are many valuable channels on SD. Although I may not watch many, I can't call...

    Tiering of services Some one in this thread state that they would like a package that included just Voom 21, and all the other non premium HD channels in a stand alone package. And would be willing to pay a fair price for it. Well would $50 a month be fair? 'cause that is what you got with...

    There is always the original option, which has some appealing aspects, like SHD (super high definition) and Sensoround and better than just 5.1, 53000.1 sound. You could just opt for season tickets for the Lakers and Angels.

    STB locks up on OTA channels

    I was installed on the 1st I didn't check, but since I was installed March First, and I couldn't touch the boxes for an hour for the update, I'm assuming the latest, but I'm not at home to verify.

    STB locks up on OTA channels

    All three boxes started out this way. If I flipped through local OTA, the picture would go away. On my main box, it would freeze on that channel, couldn't even turn it off with the remote, on the kids box the audio would comethrough, and you could change channels, but the picture was gone for...

    Voom Ad need Ideas

    Bruce, To be subject to lawsuit he would have to financially gain from the advertising or libel/slander Voom. Neither of which would he be doing. If putting in print, information for the general populous was a litigious offense we wouldn't have newspapers or magazines. He could purchase ad...

    Cablevision Enters into Interim Agreement Regarding VOOM

    But if he personally made that guarantee, then, it probably included the cost of later shut being paid by Charles. He could still be on the hook for the 300m if the deal doesn't go together.

    How about a third possibility for the silence?

    Alright Bruce, I'm gonna assume you read those publications, or at least one of them, did you read USA today, and do you remember the stories that were on the backside of the pages that ran the CVC story? Or could it be that 90% of the "readers" don't read 90% of the content. And of 10% that...

    How about a third possibility for the silence?

    And would you say that "most" of the other people in your community are clueless regarding this? That is exactly my point. Although it's not all rosey, Virtually no-one knows that Voom has had this glitch.

    And the other potential is (i don't personally believe this): It will take less effort to allow it to roll to a stop, than to try an dput the breaks on everything all at once. Obviously the new channel roll out has been planned for quite a long time. the fact it is happening in March as...
