    Interesting story in the SKY Report about VOOM....

    Forgive me but, maybe I'm not seeing the interesting part. All of this is a re-hash of older stories as far as I can tell.

    Cablevision board meeting today???

    My point was to the "if it has something to do in relation to the shutdown of Voom?" But your right, I forgot about the board member reduction, after April 8th I pretty much stopped caring about anything CV related :P

    Cablevision board meeting today???

    They have board meetings all the time, nothing new or surprising about that. The decision to shutdown Voom is done. If there's another board meeting to discuss Voom or Rainbow for that matter, it will be to hash out the terms for broadcasting the Cinema 10's on other providers.

    savedbscompetition.org website still up

    I doubt seriously a site that flew in the face of Cablevisions fiscal interests, would be hosted on their corporate webserver.

    E-mail from Voom - Official Shutdown Notice

    Slightly off topic, but. I just had my Comcast install, lol I never realized InHD was so lame. I mean come on, anyone who ever touted InHD as something we were missing, while criticizing the Cinema10’s is a loon. Korean Sumo wrestling anyone? Or how about some nice college baseball….. I’ll...

    FaxUpdate April 1, 2005: VOOM Shutdown Could Be Announced As Early As Today

    "VOOM Shutdown Could Be Announced As Early As Today" Or next week or next month or never. Old broken records dont scare me much.

    Voom sponsored by Yahoo! and Google...

    What your seeing is a paid ad, not the number one hit, Voom is paying to be there. This site is number one on google:http://www.ee.washington.edu/conselec/CE/kuhn/hdtv/95x5.htm and this one on Yahoo:http://www.howstuffworks.com/hdtv.htm

    Voom CD just arrived

    That was announced before the talks broke down last time, going on several months ago. While it’s still reflects VoomHD LLC's intentions, Cable Vision hasn’t signed off on it, yet.

    FCC: Joint Petition Filed to Deny Assignment of Licenses (Charles F Dolan)

    DucTape, it doesn’t strike me as remotely desperate. If you were in the process of securing 400 million dollars would you describe yourself as desperate? He makes no assertion to how far along in the process he is. It could be as far away as asking the first bank or as close as picking up the...

    FCC: Joint Petition Filed to Deny Assignment of Licenses (Charles F Dolan)

    Juicy, I think this effectively squashes any talk of an Echostar/Voom buyout or merger. The wording of this seems to be very deliberate and thought out. This strikes me as coming from a company (Voom HD LLC) that intends to fight this tooth and nail.

    Voom Adds More! (WealthTVHD, Fine Living, DIY,..)

    "but am still confused as to why BBC-A (which I am happy to see, I'd missed it) is in the basic package and something like "DIY" is bundled with premiums" A CSR's comment (relayed by someone here - forgot who) said that it basically boils down to what it costs Voom for the channel, i.e...

    Voom Adds More! (WealthTVHD, Fine Living, DIY,..)

    The whole time I've watched you get slammed I was thinking the same, (here's a guy who championed Voom as much as anybody in the past). A quick search of your older posts here and on AVS show your not anti-Voom, maybe just a little more demanding than some :D But, yeah where's the bikini babes?

    Voom Adds More! (WealthTVHD, Fine Living, DIY,..)

    For what its worth, I just saw a few minutes of wealth, I saw a promo that looked like decent HD, and then two shows. One show looked like an up-convert and the other was just plain rough looking. Like others have said, the quality looks spotty, but I'd guess that has more to do with wealth’s...

    This shows what is on AMC-6

    " This shows what is on AMC-6 " No it doesnt.

    Dolans new dish

    It technically belongs to cablevision, so he would likely just pay for it instead of Echostar. Rather big if though.

    New Channels Added! (BBC, Noggin, etc...)

    "My progressive scan DVD player looks much better than Voom's HD right now." I could post a screenshot later tonight that would disprove that. It's easy to make blanket statements like that, harder to prove that everyone is experiencing what you are.

    New Channels Added! (BBC, Noggin, etc...)

    Shane, all should be available within the first (maybe second) reboot, I'd say an hour or less, from first boot.

    New Channels Added! (BBC, Noggin, etc...)

    'No info' just means it hasnt updated on your box yet. And its on the standard package.

    New Channels Added! (BBC, Noggin, etc...)

    Big thumbs up on BBCA, MTV2 and VH1 classic, forgot how much I missed VH1C. Would I have liked more HD? durr of course, but these additions do add value, imo at least.

    Cablevision Chairman To Use Cash, Stock To Fund Voom

    "if C & T Dolan have the $$$ to buy Voom they should spend a few on lawyers to get it all in writing and get it done." OMG this might be the very piece of info they need to get it done, you should give them a call JL. ;)

    New Channels Added! (BBC, Noggin, etc...)

    I'd recommend against holding your breath for those Comcast SportsNet channels.

    New Channels Added! (BBC, Noggin, etc...)

    Ok philhu, I was just quoting what you said. I guess that’s what happens when you purport to know what someone else is thinking. I disagree that Voom ever targeted the “rich”, the basic package was affordable; it just needed rounding out, which is happening now. I get a chuckle hearing all...

    New Channels Added! (BBC, Noggin, etc...)

    "(If they have HD, they must be rich)" You couldnt be more wrong with that statement.
