    I am losing my job...

    As bad as I feel, it's worse for some fellow employees who had been working for Cablevision/Rainbow for *years.* Some of them moved from other positions, or were asked to help get Voom started. It's almost like they're being penalized for their loyalty. But if it's one thing I've learned...

    May 1st where will you be? Dish, Cable or DirecTV?

    Does anyone have, or would get Cablevision IO? I don't think that was mentioned much (but I haven't combed through everything), which I assume is because CV isn't in your area.

    I am losing my job...

    You are welcome as well. Hearing these nice words from people makes me feel a little less defeated. It's funny- someone who works in the same building was saying that he saw a Voom ad running like every fifteen minutes in a Circuit City recently. Talk about too little, too late. (an ad was...

    I am losing my job...

    A lot of work was put into expanding the channel lineup over the past several weeks. All the while, the employees were certain that something was up Charlie D's sleeve, since the work continued. So it was pretty much completed this week, both on the air for customers and on updated equipment...

    worst thing to come out of this

    I didn't think HD was going to catch on that quick anyway. TV has been the same for decades and decades. Society does not do well with fast change-- we love our status quo. When it was talked about years ago that pretty much "all TV's will be HD by 2006 whether you like it or not" I thought...

    I am losing my job...

    I am losing my job, which involved helping run voom and keep it operational for folks like you. This is really sad, and the way it happened abruptly without warning of any meeting, like it was decided during a game of texas hold'em, is upsetting. We never knew anything ahead of time, and...
