    My customer service experiences with VOOM were always outstanding. I've had Dish for 5 years and their customer service record with me has been like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. Sometimes ugly. Trying to add the VOOM channels and HD equipment to my...

    Anyone know what the real Dish/Voom deal is?

    My customer service experiences with VOOM were always outstanding. I've had Dish for 5 years and their customer service record with me has been like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. Sometimes ugly. Trying to add the VOOM channels and HD equipment to my...

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    As a VOOM subscriber, I wouldn't mind paying the $250 up front fee for the 942 if Dish also gave me $20/month off the programming charge for 12 months, which would essentially return my initial outlay in exchange for a 12-month commitment. For example, if the programming is $79/month (including...

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    This is all GREAT news! But, it's a breaking story and everything is in a state of flux right now. I'm sure the Dish CSRs are as bewildered as everyone else with all the possible options. The CSRs are always the last to know, yet they are the company's interface with customers! Crazy...

    All 10 VOOM Channels on Echostar will be on 61.5!

    What do existing Dish customers who also have VOOM need to do? I know this is all breaking news and things are in a state of flux, but what is Dish going to offer folks who presently have both Dish and VOOM? If anyone hears, please post.

    DISH to carry all 21 in 2006

    This is FANTABULOUS news. I've had Dish for 4.5 years and have been very happy with the SD PQ and their SD DVR. No issues with rain fade. I got VOOM in November 2004 and had to keep Dish as my commitment to the free Dish SD DVR continued until May 2005. So, I've had both Dish and VOOM for...

    What to do if "Voom Conversion Office" called you

    I just listened to my call from the "Conversion Center" and gave them a quick call at their 800 number (hey, it's their dime). The CSR fumbled through their offer, which was VERY misleading on pricing and hardware. I'm emailing Dish corporate with a complaint. Did VOOM sell their...

    Voom’s HD Shows Keep On Shooting

    I was wondering just the other day if Auction, Ultra, Rush, Rave, Gallery, Equater and Worldsport would continue shooting new content into May. Now it appears that at least some of these channels will continue to produce shows during May. This means that the VOOM21 (or some of the 21) will...

    VOOM Shutdown Update

    VOOM as we know it, will cease to exist in a few days time. Some or all of those VOOM21 channels will continue production during May, which indicates that Cablevision is serious about delivering HD content to other service providers. I've already signed up for Charter cable for the HD-DVR...

    Cablevision to Bid $16.5 Bln for Adelphia : A Voom blurb

    $16.5 biillion in cash. $16.5 biillion in cash. $16.5 biillion in cash. $16.5 biillion in cash. $16.5 biillion in cash. No matter how many times I look at the number, it's hard to image the size of the pile of cash 16 billion one-dollar bills would make. At 5% interest, that pile would...

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

    Back home in Kalifornia, an Installs technician told me they were running crazy trying to keep up with the huge jump in VOOM installs since about mid-February. And, on a related note, since I've been here in Tucson for the past week on business, I've meet three people who recently had VOOM...

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

    Racoon Boy: I stated that by stacking the board, an executive can get much of what he wants -- whether that is his own personal survival, as with Eisner, or getting what he needs to complete a deal, as with Dolan's new company absorbing VOOM from Cablevision. I never stated anything about...

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

    Michael Eisner survived at Disney for years because he stacked the Disney board with his cronies. I suspect that Charles Dolan will get what he needs from the Cablevision board for awhile at least.

    Voom promises of 50 channels, price reduction, etc

    I completely agree. Enough is enough. Someone please press the SMITE BUTTON, er, I mean The Three Day Vacation Button for the former racoon boy.

    Voom promises of 50 channels, price reduction, etc

    Some people just enjoy complaining and putting down people who don't whine and moan about the VOOM picture quality with nearly every single bloody post they make. I still maintain these incesent picture quality complainers can turn their attitudes around by simply getting laid more frequently...

    Free month of service for a referal - they are listening!

    Great news! I always wondered why VOOM didn't have a "refer a friend" promotion of some sort previously; in fact, I'd suggest that they keep this promo going indefinitely. I'm sure, however, that some will detail for all of us how the "Spring Madness" promotion will degrade picture quality...

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

    If you truely enjoy VOOM, I feel that if you can swing it, upgrading to VaVaVoom is a great way to say thank-you to Charles Dolan - and, be sure to email him that you upgraded and why. However, I also know what it's like to be on a tight budget and I can understand how many simply can't do...

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

    Great news! The four new channels are a terrific addition to the VOOM lineup and let me say to all who work at VOOM and read this forum: THANK-YOU! YOU'RE EFFORTS ARE APPRECIATED! And, I must say, although I wish the channels were part of the basic packag I'll get over it. VOOM is trying...

    Scott: When you settle down from your company's move and have some free time, would you please look over this thread carefully as I suspect you'll find many posts that clearly identify a solid candidate for the THREE DAY VACATION prize package. Please consider presenting the award as soon as...

    Very interesting and entertaining article. So little Jimmy really is little (fireplug stature) and a screw-off, hot-tempered and substance abusing (selfish and no self-control), sports nut, garage band roadie loser who would likely be driving a forklift in a Jersey warehouse today had it not...

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

    Great news! Sure, we all want more HD, but VOOM is doing exactly what it needs to do to woo away Dish and Direct subscribers -- and that is add as many SD channels as they can so that the masses will really have little excuse for not switching because channel XYZ was missing. Now what will...
