    Other Opinions...

    As you can tell I'm more of just a lurker here, but I had to respond to this. Anyone attacking Vurbano for posting what he did needs to rethink about his post. He's not doing anything but stating the truth as he sees it, and has Voom as reported it. If there isn't a deal, all of us will be...

    Rave Video Mix

    What happened? They used to be 80% music videos and the occasional concert. Now it seems they did a complete 180. They need to find a good balance of around 50/50. If you notice... they also only have the few hours of music videos on starting around 4AM EST. So they really must think most don't...

    Where's FSN?

    Similar situation with my cable company. All the sudden they seem to be doing everything right now that I don't have their digital service. But to try and stay on topic: Anyone know the channel #s for FSNs? and any other news on the FSN additions?

    VOOM STB Version 7.26 (2.30): Features/Bugs/Requests

    One more question/suggestion... Is there any chance that in the future the unit will be able to decode analog OTA and/or cable channels? As of now unless all your locals are digital you are left out. This is a huge problem as most cities don't have all locals in digital. Being able to use it...

    VOOM STB Version 7.26 (2.30): Features/Bugs/Requests

    A couple more suggestions... The ability to quickly change the viewing mode via remote commands. Instead of going to the menu to watch SD strethed or with sidebars, I'd like a quick command to do it with the remote. Also, there should be a zoom mode added, which stretches vertically and...

    VOOM STB Version 7.26 (2.30): Features/Bugs/Requests

    I don't know if anyone has mentioned this or has an issue with this but I'm used to a Hughes E86 receiver. My problem is with the amount of time given to manually enter a channel #. It is way too short IMO. I think my Hughes box gives me at least 2x-3x as long to enter a channel # before...

    VOOM Installations

    Good to hear it... I'm also glad I insisted on a second opinion about getting the service. Back in March I had a very similar story besides the dropped appointments etc... There are a few simple ways for someone to know if they can get it. First thing you need is a compass, and the exact...

    VOOM Installations

    I think low 70s is very bad reception. I think low 90s is normal. Is it a cloudy day?

    Can't add a plus pack...

    Well... here we are over a month later and I finally stopped calling the awhile back and also cancelled starz awhile back because I never got the channels, only 1-2 of the love/mystery or SD channels at a time. and... they call me today! Great guy called... was very nice and basically said...

    VOOM to employ Windows Media 9

    Funny to see all the Microsoft bashing that goes on. Looks a lot like it did before the Xbox came out... that thing sure is full of viruses and they sure have taken everyone else down 3 years later, huh? I think this is great, and although I liked Mpeg4, I really like the idea of wmv9 because it...

    Sorry to say but I won't be Vooming anymore! (Edit: Totally Back)

    I'm in the same boat as you. I only watch RaveHD and RushHD. Occasionally the Monsters HD channel, and very rarely the Cinema 10s. The rest is a waste IMO, including Bravo. I already get Discovery HD, HBOHD and SHO-HD on D*. They will need to give me the free Starz pack they offered me...

    New Software Update Tonight! (Version 00.05.68)

    Getting it right now... I have been busy the past week and haven't been here to know it was coming... I just happened to notice that part of the digital readout was on. I guess it should be done pretty soon if it started at 4:45 EST.

    Waste of Time to Email Voom!

    I sent one probably 1.5-2 weeks ago with no reply.

    VOOM STB Version 00.05.5C: Features/Bugs/Requests

    I like it so far. The "Watch" button seems to be much better. No matter where I am at in the menus it goes back to the video, with the surf bar which dissapears on its own after a second. I also second all recommendations said above. Especially for transparency. One weird bug I found...

    Good Points And Bad Points After The Software Update (Are you Targeted?)

    Finished... much faster channel changes... no more grey screen when going to channels that you can't get or inbetween channel changes. Other then that and the program planner, I don't notice any difference besides what is noted in the beginning. Still no transparent guide, which is a must if...

    Good Points And Bad Points After The Software Update (Are you Targeted?)

    Finally got it... it shows a grey screen with a bunch of #s and the running time that it has been going. The grey screen is outlined with a blue screen.

    Good Points And Bad Points After The Software Update (Are you Targeted?)

    No luck so far. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and still nothing. We'll see... hopefully it fixes my Starz problem.

    Good Points And Bad Points After The Software Update (Are you Targeted?)

    I've had mine turned off since 12AM EST... I am targeted, just turned it on to check if I was targeted... and turned it back off. Hopefully it will upgrade.

    Can't add a plus pack...

    Thanks... looks like I will request that. I initially thought that couldn't be the problem because I figured it would have nothing to do with it unless it was software related, and if so... it should update the software pretty soon, right?

    Can't add a plus pack...

    I am trying to get a pluspack dispute worked out with Voom currently, so I decided to order it while waiting for the dispute to get resolved. About a week ago I ordered it... they added it and said it should show up. It didn't. So after 25 minutes of waiting on the phone for it to show up, it...

    Voom Box Version V00.05.08. Bugs/Problems/Feature Request

    If they aren't then I lose about 80% faith in Voom. How could they release a new product that is worse then 6+ year old STBs on other providers? I almost feel like a beta tester with the features that this offers, and I fully understand why they haven't charged the originals for programming yet...
