    I Got My Refund Today !!

    Thought I would check the mail after your post and guess what. Yep it was there!! $618 refund from VOOM, refund on two receivers. I'd rather still have VOOM than the check but it's nice to get something back. My wife complained about VOOM the whole time we had it (now she has dish to...

    offer from dish...this is better!!!!

    Exactly how many days was it between the time you had your install and the time you ordered the HD DVR? I'm trying to do the same thing and I'm being told there is a three day time limit on changing you order.

    VOOM was a great deal!!!

    You know we got so use to complaining about VOOM we lost sight of what a great deal it was. With the basic VOOM package we got all the local is both SD and HD, 130 SD channels PLUS the VOOM 21 HD original channels PLUS TNT-HD, UHD, Discovery-HD and ESPNHD all for $49.95 (I was a charter member...

    Voomers Win!!!

    Your posting seems to indicate that you believe VOOM was destroyed. If this is the case I would strongly disagree. Sure it's no longer a separate satellite company but all the high definition channels that were available on VOOM are still available on other service providers or will be in the...

    Voomers Win!!!

    I have two high definition, state of the are, satellite boxes sitting in my house right now that I can't sell on ebay for more than $20. I've spent close to $2000 the last 18 months on a system that no longer provides service. On top of that I'm feeling withdraw pains from the loss my beloved...

    Anyone know what the real Dish/Voom deal is?

    I just called the csr. She backed up everything you said except she would not give me the $10 off from 4 to 6 months.

    $100 charge for second dish and locals

    I talked to the csr about the second dish. What I was told was that one of the local channels for the Dallas area is on the 61.5 satellite so if I order the local channels I get the second dish for free. He said that if I didn't qualify for the local channels on 61.5 I would have to pay $100...

    So, Scott, will voom stb work after 3am 5/1?

    Aren't software upgrades done on these STBs all the time anyway? I own my boxes. It sure would be nice to keep using them for while longer before I have to throw them in the dumpster.

    new voom message on the screen now

    There is a flash going across the bottom to the VOOM channels about the Dish Network offer. It offers 180 SD channels, the VOOM channels, up to four HD receivers and free installation for $19.99 for three months. I called 1-800-WOW-HDTV and asked about the offer but the csr wasn't familiar...

    New channels coming soon?

    I just talked to a CSR today because of some technical issues I was having. I asked him if he had a roll out date on the new channels. He said he didn't but he did confirm some the new channels previously listed like WGN. He confirmed the DVR before July. He also said that some of the new...

    New channels coming soon?

    Your glass is half empty but mine is half full. We don't know how VOOM was going to support the channel additions. Maybe everything was going to be on Rainbow II which is still under the lease agreement with VOOM. I think Charles Dolan's PLAN is to make VOOM a competitive satellite company...

    NOT MY FAULT! I guess I quoted before the entire posting made it on the server. Sorry. :cool:

    New channels coming soon?

    This may be old news but relates to March and WE ARE IN March. The point is that there has been no retraction on this press release. We are starting to get new channels now and this might be first of all these new channels. Wouldn't you like to get 200 new SD channels and some 30 plus new...

    New channels coming soon?

    It's not a rumor, it's in the VOOM press release issued November 22. That press release is still on the VOOM web site. The press release states that VOOM will have 350 SD channels and 70 HD channels in March. We are digressing, this issues was discussed several pages back.

    New channels coming soon?

    You know, it occurs to me that we are all a little late in telling VOOM what channels we want. We should have been telling VOOM last November what we wanted when they released that they were going to add 200+ channels. Now, if we are going to be getting all those channels in the near future...

    New channels coming soon?

    It's been so long for me since I even worried about the poor reception of locals that sometimes it's hard for me to connect with that issue. I vaguely remember thinking that it would be so nice to get cable so I could get local stations much clearer. After many years with cable I couldn't wait...

    New channels coming soon?

    VOOM says we do but we have a couple of VOOM channels that come and go like NFLHD. With all the local HD channels I actually get closer to 45 HD channels.

    New channels coming soon?

    This is an excerpt from the VOOM Nov. 22, 2004 press release, " Rainbow Media Enterprises, a subsidiary of Cablevision Systems Corporation (NYSE:CVC), announced today that its year-old VOOM satellite service will dramatically expand in March of next year from its current 130 channels...

    Cablevision Enters into Interim Agreement Regarding VOOM

    This looks to me like the news we have been waiting for. All we had before was a letter of intent with no agreement. Today we have an "AGREEMENT". It sounds like Chuck's plan to acquire VOOM has been accepted by the CVC board. That means they won't be threatening to shut VOOM down for a...

    NEWS FLASH: New Channels: LIFETIME Net, CMT, National Geographic,...

    Mister HD salesperson, I would have to say that you are either poorly informed, a poor salesperson or intentionally trying to deceive people. I can't respond about the picture quality but I can respond about the local OTA channels and about the VOOM content. There is no service provider in...

    voomllc.com alive too

    VOOMLLC.COM is back!! I haven't been in the forum for a few days but the last time I was here VOOMLLC.COM was down. I just checked it and now it's back up. I haven't checked through all the postings since I was last here but I didn't see any threads about VOOMLLC.COM being back. I think...

    The (www.voom.com) page is back! (And back to shutdown mode)

    Most people have never even heard of VOOM. The only reason I found out about VOOM was because I cruse electronics stores like a shark looking for its' next meal. VOOM has very little brand recognition as yet. The more publicity VOOM has the more the word "VOOM" will stick in peoples minds...

    Big News: New VOOM HD LL Web Site (They are back! or Are they?) YES!

    I would tend to disagree. A hacker might just cut and run. Whoever edited the spelling error cared about the website and wanted it to look professional.

    The (www.voom.com) page is back! (And back to shutdown mode)

    That's 0.46% of 10 million, not .000001%. VOOM has almost doubled its' subscribers in the last three months. If VOOM can maintain this kind of momentum (and the latest drama is only going to help) *D and *E has reason to be concerned. As long as VOOM survives all satellite and cable...
