Interesting, maybe we'll see some action on the Voom front in terms of additional programming and maybe see it even available on Cable. But aren't a lot of cable operators constrained by bandwidth as well limited their ability to add 10 new hd channels. Or perhaps I am wrong about this...

NY Post Article Describes Dueling Dolans and Backs 2nd Memo Sent by Charles Dolan The New York Post confirms the behind the scenes battle between the Dolans and the 2nd memo alluded to in this forum: http://www.nypost.com/business/41598.htm Seems like there is a lot of behind the scenes...

Network dvr -- that's the same as what Voom is coming out with -- so they are pretty much acknowledging that this is the way to go -- hopefully Voom will beat everyone to the punch on this one...

What is the network DVR? And why would Cablevision favor that over a regular DVR?

Great work Riff in tracking down that article! Seems to all make sense. I'll bet that Cablevision would have already shut down Voom if not for placating Charles Dolan. I guess we'll just see what he can come up with...

Now that was a great email riff -- very creative! I think that about sums up the past month very well!

Don't you think the person who is saying that Voom will shut down at the end of the week works for Direct TV ?????? He is trying to get people to panic before Super Bowl so they will drop Voom. Think before you react to this. Problem is that he is citing to a fairly reputable source...

I'll have to check my dates of coverage but I just know that I had recently paid my bill and I was told that I would be accruing no further charges after the day I called to discontinue service... My main concern was to simply discontinue service in a way that I could easily switch back to...

I don't think Voom would agree to this unless it was within a few weeks. I would have been willing to pay for the next few weeks but they said that the programming cost stops immediately. I do think there is a fair point in the argument that I owe something to Voom. They did my set-up for...

I just want to point out an option that I recently took with Voom that can keep your foot in the door at Voom while also pursuing other options that guarantee you will continue to have HD programming for the Super Bowl and beyond. I set up with Voom to have someone come and get my Voom receiver...

I have to agree. Its hard for me to imagine that Cablevision shareholders would want them to continue to fund significant losses in keeping Voom going until the sale is final (which would probably take several months). Unfortunately, I don't think that a lot of value would be assigned to...

Vurbano... Why unplug the cable? What demonic signal might be sent?

I believe that the anticipated price that analysts were saying for Voom was something like $150 million. So, I think the price is less of an issue compared with absorbing the $70 to $80 million in quarterly loss until Voom hopefully meets its subscribor threshholds. If Dolan, Sr. really...

Well, I have to say if Wearwolf's alleged memo is a fake then he/she writes a hell of a fake memo! Looks pretty real to me and not surpising if Dolan buys it outright (perhaps with some other investors). He believes in this project too much to let go of it IMO.

The printed version of the WSJ article is consistent with this idea pointing out that as founder of the company and family patriarch, Dolan Sr. likely has the influence to have his way. The article suggests that one possible outcome is a shifting in the Board of Directors at Cablevision. So...

Well, I've been holding off on my skepticism but I think this may be the nail in the coffin for Voom. Cablevision will certainly not keep them on. A sell-off to D* or E* seems very likely. I think the best case scenario for Voom subscribors is a sell to Dish and expanded HD offerings there...

I agree totally -- its a great channel if they can just get rid of the mosquito noise. Content is excellent but PQ is lacking. Please work on this Voom!

I didn't notice any problems with pq. I watched ESPN HD and some of the Voom exclusives and everything seemed normal...

I don't think anybody should overreact to the SEC document. As an economist who studies industries, I can tell you that SEC documents are necessarily conservative in order to protect a firm against shareholder lawsuits. They are filled with provisos stating that if such and such doesn't happen...

Interesting that Voom is almost done with its bond offering. This should inject some needed cash flow into the business which should translate into improved service and programming.
