Dtv I've got to say, I'm not very convinced DTV will do anything with Voom programming. It would certainly be the right thing to do for their subs but they haven't done much in the way of HD thus far. Oh sure, they're builing/launching sats but for HD locals. I've complained for years about...

Waiting... I've got nothing but time.... Thanks. The Rickster

Just curious if anyone has heard any rumors of DTV picking up some of the ex-Voom programming. Would be nice. I'd sign up with Dish if they had NFL Sunday Ticket but we all know how that goes... The Rickster

If... This is true if, and I stress IF they're in a situation like this. Every cable company isn't offering HD services yet (although most major areas are) and they're not all that easy to get going. However, there are still the questions of, "Why are those black bars still there on CBS?" Or...

Missing the point... It's not so much how many HDTVs are being sold, rather, how many people are actually using them to view HD programming (and plan to). Just because someone owns an HD-capable TV in now way means they will actually view HD programming on it. The biggest problem has been...

Ah, another idiot who feels the need to feel as if you have any power by stating you are putting someone on ignore. As long as it makes you feel better. Keep posing your garbage about, "knowing someone who said something." According an article being published John Malone even has implied Dolan...

Niceprophet: Believe what you want to believe. We've been over this many times...your sources are no better than what I mentioned. I never quoted anyone. I never said anything was the gospel truth. I interpreted what I read in one way, you interpreted it in another way. How can you claim...

I won't get into this with you again butI will say this, coming from someone who is using an, "inside source," for your facts, I find it funny you're attacking my sources. You have yet to show anyone anything and keep claiming to, "know someone inside." At least I'm going off of articles and...

Last parting shot on this one... This is my point. Too many people around here have the, "I'm right and you're not only wrong, but crazy for not agreeing with me." This is NOT what I have been saying. It can be boiled down to this--I have an OPINION, which I formed based on the information...

Ok, first of all, I'm not sure exactly what you're arguing about me saying the funding was not in place. I have ADMITTED this (read my last post). And I never denied saying Dolan wouldn't buy the company and never denied saying I'd be shocked (because I am). So again, what, exactly, are you...

Thanks for the announcement r.jones...I'll take that under advisement... Sean, what, exactly, are you trying to argue with me about? I'm curious because you're really not making any sense here. I said, and you're more than welcome to waste your time and repost what I've posted, that Dolan has...

Not wrong... Actually Sean, it was released in more than one place the money is coming from Dolan so I wasn't wrong. He has NOT obtained funding elsewhere or he wouldn't be writing a check from his own pocket for the whole $400 million. And you don't get it that I have been saying EXACTLY...

Hmm... Looks like those people who said he was getting funding were wrong. He's dipping into his own pocket to fund Voom. If that was his intention from the start he could have done so at any time. I guess nobody is interested in pumping money into Voom.... The Rickster

Hmm... Still more public information pointing towards them having difficulties obtaining funding. This was posted elsewhere on Satellite Guys: "Attached is the latest edition of FaxUpdate, 25 March 2005, for your edification. This article is being posted on the VOOM Forum with permission...

Honestly, I'm still wondering what the heck you've been arguing with me about all this time. You have been trying to convince me you are correct. I have been trying to explain to you why I have my opinion. People can believe whatever it is they want to believe. In the end, someone will be right...

Well there you have it. No public information supporting what you're claiming as fact. Although I'd love to believe ya I wouldn't be investing my own money based on what you've provided around here. The Rickster

Then show us your proof of this. You are saying things (and claiming them as a fact) with NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING to back it up. I have said things (and claimed them as my OPINION) with public information to back it up. The Rickster

Hmm... Hmm, I have said, and I'll say it again, everything they've said has indicated it has to do with funding. Read this SEC filing: Now, does it say, "We don't have the funding yet,"? No it doesn't. However, and let's try and use our heads here, if he HAD the funding when this SEC...

Before I address other statments in your post I wanted to address this. You HAVE been reading the same things the rest of us have been haven't you? In fact, in one of those, "internal memos," they even made mention of working on funding. So actually, yes, they have said it more than one and have...

Aarrgghh!! I NEVER SAID THERE WAS!!! I have only said, and I'll SAY it again, there is no offical release saying it IS in place and the only thing they HAVE said has indicated the funding is NOT in place. You can be as optimistic as you want to be but that IS a fact. Right, and I've worked...

:::sigh::: You are correct in saying it could mean anything but, in essence, it means the funding is not officially in place....period. If it were in place they would announce it as being in place. Could they be close? Sure. But, as many friends have told me in the past, close only counts in...

Good point but... There are no posts saying the funding is not (officially) in place. Why would they say this? If they did, they risk losing subs and potential investors. So, although I can't say you are incorrect in what you're trying to say here, I say, it really doesn't matter. Show me a...

CAN you read? Yes, you were smoking because, and you can read it again, I never said people didn't HAVE the money, rather, people have NOT been willing to invest it in Voom. It's never been a question of someone having or not having money. It's always been a question of whether they'll...

Funny... Yes, we are talking about Voom. So, if Voom shuts down tomorrow I guess nobody is allowed to actually admit it? And I've NEVER said anything will or won't happen. I've pointed out they're having a tough time obtaining funding to keep going forward. So please explain how this is based...

What!!?? I can't read!!?? Money was never the problem!!?? REALLY, I'd LOVE what you're smoking. Money is ABSOLUTELY the problem. Remember, CVC decided they didn't want to fund Voom any longer. Hmm, that sounds like they don't have the MONEY any longer. And, although large deals do tend to...
