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

    I would hope that if you already have a voom dish up there that they won't try charging you $100 for an install of a dish that is already there. I assume the only thing that would need to be done is possibly replace the older LNB based on what has been said before.

    Thank You letters to VOOM and Charles Dolan

    Mr. D, Thanks for making our last year of HD viewing a total pleasure. And thanks now for the Voom21 package found on other DBS and possibly cable providers. Screw Cuban and his HDNet, we still have the Voom21! ;) Voomin' until the end, Brian

    VOOM gone OTA here

    Mine looks like a stealth bomber with the blades angled like a V. It's a Channelmaster Stealth antenna. Not sure if yours is the same. I actually asked Voom (Wilt H) to send me a power injector for it a while back so I wouldn't need to rely on the STB to power it. Here's a link to a...

    Cuban and Voom -- Why Cuban is happy to see Voom go bye-bye?

    Yep, I remember it well in the Chicagoland area here. It was popular just before cable television moved in. It was many late nights as a kid tuning into channel 44 to watch scrambled adult movies on On-TV's "Adults Only" overnight programming. :yes Here is a site that briefly talks about...

    VOOM Shutdown Update

    Mediacom out by me doesn't have ANY HD at all. They suck even worse! Every town around me has Comcast and I'm stuck with Mediacom!

    POLL: After VOOM, who will be your provider?

    I will take some satellite "time off" until D* or E* gets their HD act together! I am already paying almost $60 to my local cable company (Mediacomm) for internet and the regular 65 channel basic cable analog package. I'll save the $100 I was paying to Voom until an HD-DVR comes out that won't...

    Call from V* about E*

    Sounds like someone from E* trying to scam customers over from the demise of our poor Voom. :no

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    I for one am in the camp of just enjoying my Voom programming until the end of the month while it lasts. I'll worry about the equipment when an official word is sent down. :yes

    Voom Box is DEAD and no OTA

    So what's the deal with the billing? I received a bill last week for Apr. 7 - May 7. Since I won't be getting service in May, I will not need to pay the full amount. But will they be sending one last pro-rated bill to everyone? or are they expecting us to pay the most recent one sent? I...

    Voom subs duped? 1280x1080i???????

    Why should I care what the V* resolution was when it usually always looked better then my friend's D* and E* HD systems??? Let's stop beating a dead horse!

    Another Move????

    This is a cruel joke to be playing on us Voomers. :confused:

    I am losing my job...

    I feel for all of you Voom employees getting let go! I was laid off last year and it's not fun at all. But you bounce back and make the best of a bad situation. I will be leaving the TV on for the next couple of weeks so I can get all the VaVaVoom possible until my pictures goes out!

    Voom should enable OTA permanently!

    You can buy an add-on "power injector" for the antennas such as the StealthAntenna.

    WGN & Starz Edge

    Channel 19 is OTA. So I can't imagine they would put it there here in the Chicago area. Also, does WGN superstation show different programming then WGN OTA does here in Chicago? I thought I had heard at one time that they sometimes black-out the Cubs games on the superstation?

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

    Cool, it's one month of free programming for each person you refer (up to 12 months). I have 2 friends that are waiting for the April 1st "deadline" to come and pass. Then they are going to order. This is great. Thanks Cablevision for making them wait until this offer is official! 2 months...

    Need the Following information From Voom Subs

    How To Keep the STB working as OTA after the shutdown?

    If they don't go through the trouble of collecting all the STBs from people, why would they go through the trouble of screwing everyone and disabling the OTA feature of the box?
