    VOOM gone OTA here

    I can actually now get one more OTA channel. My local PBS which the VOOM receiver has been able to get, then not get, then get, then not get (with each software update) is now back.

    Here's the Real EchoStar deal for Voomers...

    Don't forget if you want to get HBO-HD and SHO-HD via DISH also, you need to subscribe to the HBO and SHO packages. That's an additional $22.99.

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    This is great news, but unmotivating for me. All I want back is Starz-HD, Max-HD and TMC-HD. (And of course the long-dead Encore-HD) These were my favorite four channels on the whole VOOM roster. Why won't anyone else pick these up?

    Charles Dolan E-mail Response (4/4/05)

    I am not vouching that the e-mail post is authentic or fraud, but the To: and From: names are in quotes, that indicates to me that this is how the names are entered in the posters Address Book for the actual e-mail addresses. So the From and To lines, IMO, do not indicate if this is real or fake.

    Charlie Ergen plan with Rainbow-1, his words

    I think the "or something" add-on is a sales move, a subtle way to belittle voom, making voom seem like nothing more than a fly in a lion's den.

    Malone Voices Skepticism About Voom's Chances

    That last quote by Malone in the article combined with recent articles/news about Echostar talks seems to indicate to me that DISH network offering a VOOM package or tier may be highly likely.

    Wow!!! It is Eerily quiet on this board today

    CNBC has a live reporter camped outside the building in Florida where the CVC board meeting is taking place. It's a good bet there will be some info this evening.

    voomllc.com alive too

    Yeah poor James, he'll have to step down and "slum" it as an out-of-work millionaire.

    Is Mr Dolan Sr. trying to pull a fast one?

    This entire saga is but a grain of sand in the hour-glass of a long-term business. It might also be the big grain that clogs it. The existing customers are very loyal. The disappointed subs already dropped the service months ago. I think even if the entire service shut down for as much as 3...

    Is Mr Dolan Sr. trying to pull a fast one?

    The subscriber count also nearly doubled in one quarter, right? If it takes 7 quarters to get to 26,000 and then just one more to get to 46,000 subs... Could we be seeing the transition from the lag period to the accelerated growth period? I know this is a stretch, but if the sub base continues...

    Possible Liability CVC Faces In Light Of Actions Against VOOM - 03.01.2005

    OK, jame g, I see your point. You see mine. Without knowing the final offer made, neither of us know if a suit would have any merit.

    Possible Liability CVC Faces In Light Of Actions Against VOOM - 03.01.2005

    The shareholders have sunk the 1.4 billion. It's gone. Again, now the issue is that they are refusing money from VOOM LLC. Obviously Charles needs to make the offer more financially worth while than the shutdown. I would think he at least did that.

    Possible Liability CVC Faces In Light Of Actions Against VOOM - 03.01.2005

    Because the shareholders stood to benefit by selling the remaining VOOM assets. By simply shutting it down, they are literally refusing money to spite VOOM LLC. Unless there's another buyer, which the shutdown announcement rules out, CVC shareholders are losing more value than they have to by...

    This Just In - Voom Not Dead Yet!

    Should this thread title include the 46,000 subs announcement?

    Voom can be closed down in 30 days. Is it really dead this time?

    If voom was a cat... How many of its nine lives would you say have been spent? Seriously, it would come as no shock to me to find this was just another negotiatiing and/or posturing move by CVC. Perhaps they want to drive the selling price up or gauge value and then run to E* to see if...

    Febuary 23 should be an intresting day

    I guess Feb 23 is not that interesting after all... Well the day's not over yet. Neither today's Press Release or Conference call said anything about VOOM subscriber numbers.

    Webcast: Q4 2004 Cablevision Systems Corp. Earnings Conference Call

    If VOOM suddenly showed good subscriber growth, it might make investors/CV Board Members re-think, screwing up Charles Dolan's "Phantom Menace" stragedy to launch VOOM LLC and aquire complete control of the VOOM service.

    VOOM Commercial (shown in HD) on DiscoveryHD

    I was surprised to see this thread back up top.... Did anyone notice that around half of the commercials during the Superbowl were presented in HD (or atleast 16:9 upconvert)? So if they made a D5 dub for the FOX Network's Master Control... Why don't they give a D5 copy to all the networks...
