    Last VOOM Statement

    Got my last statement - its a bill! I got a statement from Voom today billing me a prorated amount for the last 15 days or so of service. About $32. It also informed me that I could keep my STB. I thought they were just letting us keep the service until the end of April and not billing...

    New Poll: Where are you going?

    I am using OTA only currently. Later this summer, I will try to make a change. I am waiting to see what Direct does first.

    Any rumors of Voom on DTV?

    Why would this cause doubt. They are noncontrolling. If Cablevision, controlling member sees and opportunity to sell it to Direct, they will do it. Hell, Direct may even end up with a little slice of equity. If the companies gain equity they will push the Voom channels, win win for everyone.

    sending back equipment

    Yeah, if they want it, they can come get it. I never signed anything that said I would go out of my way to return it. If they come get it I will give it to them, but I am not going to work for them since they did not fulfill my contract.

    Got an interesting phone call...

    Yeah, my installer called and I took their info, but told them I was not ready to make any to signup for anything else yet.

    Monsters HD: Monsterama : Playboy's Hugh Hefner/ Painted Girls 5:45am ET

    They have already been runining in it snd it shows a massive two sets of tits. Wow! It is interesting though as it shows what goes into one extremly elaborate Haunted House. Just don't watch it to see tons of T&A.

    VOOM DSR550 OTA-Enable Hack Thread

    Though this is mostly beyond my level - I work more on than in (I mean I understand some of the principals and all but not the specifics) it is fun to read. I have leased equipment I may or may not get to keep, but I still think what you are doing is cool and I am sure many will appreciate it...

    Voom should enable OTA permanently!

    I am. Plus, if they did charge me, where I had my install done on the card, I would dispute it and let VISA go after them since I would not be authorizing it. I signed up for six months and I may only get OTA, but by golly I will get something. Hell OTA is better than my Comcast option anyways.

    Cablevision agrees to end Voom

    Wow, I read this and decided to see where I might go after the shut down so I called Direct and tried hard not to laugh at the poor girl. I think maybe I will just watch DVDs until someone else gets a clue. They have 15 channels she proudly said - of course that includes national network feeds...

    A Pivotal Week for VOOM

    That article makes zero sense. If DISH were to try to convert me without at least everything I get now, I would just tell them to go to hell. I bet most people would. The reason we signed up was for HD content. DISH has what 5-6 channels. VOOM is the only reason I ever left cable. I watch DVDs...

    does voom have the discovery channel in HD?

    Just watch HD on Wed. night. That is when both those shows are on if I am not mistaken.

    Time to take action on TNTHD

    ESPN is sparse, I will agree with that, but they do not stretch things which wins big points with me. TNTHD has loads of potential. I like the action movies they show and a lot of the shows they carry, but I will not watch stretched programming and that is what I toldd them in my email. I also...

    Apple’s working on a high-definition video network?

    Apple buys Voom and TIVO then builds the ultimate in Hi-def home entertainment - damn that would have everyone in this forum taking a cold shower. Rumors are fun. I am a big Apple fan so I would love to see Apple take Voom and Tivo under its wings and creat something truly awesome.

    Is a middle package (Va Voom) in the works?

    I really think we are getting ready to have a Va Voom package between Voom and Va Va Voom. The channels being added to Va Va Voom are specialty, but not premium channels in general. If they keep adding a middle package that splits the price is very possible. I would likely get that or a sports...

    Lost 261 & 262 from Voom

    I had noticed I was getting them, have not checked to see if I still am, but I figure I am not. Since most of the movies are cropped or in some way not OAR I seldom watch movies on TV (even HDTV) so it was not a big deal to me anyways.

    New Channels Added: - Discoveries & Fox Movie

    Very dissappointed that these are only VaVaVoom. I mean it is nice to have them, but they did not strike me as "premium channels." I am don't have the money or time to budget for VaVaVoom now, maybe in the future. I was looking forward to Fox Movies though. It was on my cable for a little while...

    New channels coming soon?

    I HAVE ALL THE LOCALS - A big chunk of the "population" lives in range of most if not all the locals being broadcast - yes all mine are in HD and no I did not upgrade my antenna. I live near a small market - Nashville, TN. I think they could get rid of that damn LAB channel, but other than that...

    NEWS FLASH: New Channels: LIFETIME Net, CMT, National Geographic,...

    I know some are bitching SD this SD that, but this would probably be the news that pushes my sister to Voom and away from cable. I am personally very pleased to see CMT - I like the original stuff and I watch it so that when my friend that writes some of it calls and asks what I thought I can...

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    I am willing to wait on my bitching about PQ till everything gets calibrated and such. However I would like to report something strange. On my music channels, no matter what I do I can not get the info screens to display. It is always black with the call voom message - but I can ear the music...

    Some good/bad News (Depending how you want to take it)

    I am new, not even paid my first bill, yet I am completely engaged in whether I will be Vooming into April or not. Less than a month in and I can't imagine going anywhere else. Monsters HD is awesome. On a side note, if they close are they going to come get my dish/antenna/boxes. If not at...

    46,000 VOOM Subscribers As Of 2/28/2005 Reported

    Well, I am one of these new subscribers and they have yet to get more than a buck from me. They will start this billing cycle. I am sure the bulk of these new subscribers are with me. It seems that the install problems are a thing of the past. I was billed correctly, installed timely, and had no...

    46,000 VOOM Subscribers As Of 2/28/2005 Reported

    You can leave, all you have to do is pay for your install (more or less). The exit fee is essentially what you are getting free during the $1 signup. I read all the terms before I signed up and i am committed to my 6 months come hell or high water. That said it has been a pleasure so far. My...

    Dolan's D-Day?

    Having had VOOM for a mere 12 days, I am already addicted. I really want to hear some good news. I hope for survival, because no of the other options really appeal to me. If it is not going to survive long term let it die fast while I still remember what life without all this HD is like. I...

    Preview windows grey

    Just want to confirm this. I just got my Voom a week 2 weeks ago roughly and everytime I see something weird I come here first. I have been lurking around for a week or so and finally decided to join and post. This appears to be "the place" to find out about VOOM.
