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

    There have been several posts on the forum... from people on the West Coast that are getting the VOOM 10 already. Not here because we haven't signed up yet. And after getting and reading the special offer from Dish to former VOOMers it is still unclear exactly what we'd have to pay. No...

    Still have OTAs here in Seattle at 12:20 AM. So, at least no immediate kill for OTAs. We'll have to see what the long term brings us. Until then sort of enjoying OTAHD under clear (but rain promised tonight!) Seattle skies, Gill

    Direct TV Salesman at Best Buy Laments VOOM leaving

    Genesis speakers aren't bad but what you really need... are JMLab Grand Utopia Bes. Heh, heh, just kidding. The Genesis you have should make excellent HT speakers. Now for music I like tubes and don't have room in my living room for tube amps big enough to power them so I put up with...

    Direct TV Salesman at Best Buy Laments VOOM leaving

    I have. Bose systems are "cute". No doubt about that. And they have a high SAF but for unstrained and accurate sound you have to move air and Bose speakers just aren't big enough to do that. This is not a bashing of Bose as many people have them and "enjoy" them just not me. Still...

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    Vicki, the voice of reason! I didn't think I'd live to see... the day! Just kidding, Vicki. Good post amid all the speculation. I have a feeling we'll find out about OTA when we find out and not before. Since we purchased our VOOM service I guess we'll be out of luck on getting our...

    Got an interesting phone call...

    This is not allowed in Washington State Since we went on the Do Not Call list last year we've only had a handful of unsolicited calls and all but one-who stopped after the 2nd call when I threatened to report them to the state attorney general's office-we had a previous "business"...

    Thank You Wilt Hildenbrand

    Couldn't agree more! Posted to Wilt on the VOOM/Yahoo forum following a suggestion from someone on AVSforum. He passed our post on to Lori at HQ and she helped us resolve our initial install problems and those since. So, yes, Wilt saved VOOM's bacon in our case. Still enjoying HDTV...

    Thanks, I think, Ilya. That makes it pretty official. Will continue to read and post on here until VOOM goes dark. Thanks to you and the satguys crew for providing this forum. Not likely to post beyond the end of the month as no plans for either of the other sat providers. However, at...

    Is it possible that all of t his publicity will boost sales?

    Yes, I think long term all this publicity is great for VOOM! This "fight" is finally getting the VOOM name into more of the mainstream press. Assuming VOOM goes ahead after the end of the month and there is a press release or two to that effect potential customers will start signing up in...

    Cablevision Enters into Interim Agreement Regarding VOOM

    Actually, I think this is very positive news since: "pursuant to which the parties will work cooperatively to finalize the separation from Cablevision of its Rainbow DBS operation" says that they "will work cooperatively" which is news to me at least. And there appears to be an agreement to do...
