    SES Americon Enters into Lease Agreement w/ VOOM

    I don't understand - are these transponders on a new satellite in a different orbit? Will this new bird provide better line of sight for those of us in the Pacific Northwest? Edit: According to http://www.csgnetwork.com/antennasatelazposcalc.html AMC-6 is still at a 17 degree elevation...

    Is VOOM selling subscriber data to direct marketers?

    If other people are getting this junk mail then my suggestion there is possibly some connection to VOOM service looks more solid.

    No VOOM for me in Seattle

    I was all excited about getting VOOM here in Seattle. Installer arrives and it takes him 30 seconds to tell me the 200 ft tall wall of trees to the east makes VOOM a non-starter for anyone in our street. Why is the #!#@! VOOM satellite at 11 degrees on the Eastern horizon? My neighbours all...
