    Why Voom is Doomed - one customers saga

    That's going way too easy on Voom. I know I'm not the most popular vioce on this forum, but all you Voomists should be expecting more of Vooms installers. My service call has been rescheduled four freaking times! (Remember I'm the guy not getting the locals cuz I have no power inserter for...

    Things that make you go hmmmmmm....

    Huh? Wha? Duh? As a new guy to the forum and Voom, did I miss something? How exactly does this guy "deserve" so much loot?

    Voom will never get my business again...

    Bannish him he says the emporer has no clothes! Mr Snyderman, LOL. Dude I feel your pain, but posting negative things about Voom on this forum is pointless. You know all of these guys have to have something the dislike about Voom and any of them who have ever had a PVR before knows how much...

    Interim PVR solution for VOOM (SD)

    Long way around buying $129 Tivo. But hey, PC fun is fun too!

    Only $300 per month? Kewl! And for that I think someone should beotch at the FCC. Ultimately, they (or the legislation they enforce) are ones to blame for the uniformity of suckiness across the vendors.

    I can't take much more of this!!!

    Another message to Voom Voomists: Do not flame me again. For any service organization, a complaint is a gift. Voom is your vendor, not your friend. KD, My experience parallels yours. Jointly we probably agree that Voom needs to improve the following... 1. They've farmed these installs...

    VOOM Satellite

    I do have to concede the concurrent outputs for both defs are nice. Is the DVR deal you mention confirmed? Sounds like a pretty big promise for them to keep.I wonder if "fall" means September or if fall means right before Christmas?

    Thanks for a balancing response. And your right crappy content at 1080i or 10000p is still crappy content. Now I've got to get back to that hard hitting news report from Yosemite.

    Solution to the phone line problem ...

    I know I'm gonna get hammered. But I really think he's right. It's an Internet planet. I'd be willing to bet that 90% of the people on this forum have HSI with a home network.Tivo and Replay understand the power of IP based CE devices. To the extent that Tivo checks for an Internet connection...

    New Voomer - Outsider's perspective

    Finally!! Sean again thanks, that's what I'm looking for. I think you confirmed all the reasons that I was excited about Voom to begin with. And to add to your point, the one thing that absolutely doesn't suck is that they are ( even poorly implemented) a Satellite company disrupting the...

    Thanks for some insightful thinking. Your probably right about all installers, which seems to beg for a self-install kit and a good maual.

    <noflame>Tell me V00m doesn't suck.</noflame>

    Uh I never said they suck! I said, "tell me that they don't", right now it looks to me like a prettydisappointing implementation of a Satellite company, tell me why it's not?! I can tell you why Tivo doesn't suck, I can tell you why Dish network does, I can tell you why my Pronto doesn't...

    Actually Vurbano, I started it [NoFlame] as in, tell me that they don't suck, cuz right now it looks to me like they do and I want to see if they don't. Ironcially no one has really responded that with reasons why they don't suck, mosty just with reasons why I do. Help me understand why...

    You guyz don't suck The jury is still out for me on Voom, but you guys are great thanks for the help! BTW Signal strength on locals is 0

    <noflame>Tell me V00m doesn't suck.</noflame>

    Thanks Ilya! Thanks ILYA, I used your picture to do the original setup. The installer did not leave behind the power inserter for the antenna preamp, so that's likely my problem. Unless this drawing has been deprecated ? http://www.installs.com/docs/voom-1rcvr.pdf

    <noflame>Tell me V00m doesn't suck.</noflame>

    Uh OK, I can understand folks getting defensive ( I get the same way about Tivo), but I did try to instanciate the <noflame> tag to make sure readers understood that I'm not looking to dog Voom. I'm looking for reasons why they don't suck.

    Then it's all cool homie! Should I have read this forum first? BIGTIME! Just didn't know how to Google on problems I'm going to have. :)

    <noflame>Tell me V00m doesn't suck.</noflame>

    AHHH now things start making sense. So I should just tune plain ol' NTSC OTA broadcasts with my TV tuner alone. Can I get away with splitting the RG6?

    <noflame>Tell me V00m doesn't suck.</noflame>

    Sorry, just thought the previous shot at me was way unfair. Maybe you could comment explain to folks that people looking for help aren't looking to be told they should have read the website.

    <noflame>Tell me V00m doesn't suck.</noflame>

    No diplexor, I saw that in this forum earlier this week and looked for it. 2 discreet pulls of RG6. Am I wrong to assume that the box would tune the non-digital broadcasts of the locals?

    <noflame>Tell me V00m doesn't suck.</noflame>

    Talk about not reading. I did read the srevice agreement on install day. The website information wasn't imediately visible to me, THATS WHY I CALLED THEM 3 TIMES prior to install and asked for the senior person on staff. I'm not complaining, or crying, I'm asking for folks to comment on...

    Thanks Sean, Appreciate the typing. Service call has been placed. I'll try reaiming the dish. Sorry to be vague, I am getting NO locals OTA. The 3 of 5 I get going through the tuner on my Tivo.
