    Last VOOM Statement

    Im gonna have to go thru my statments. Last month I got a final bill for like $39 and hadnt decided if was gonna send a nasty letter or not as QC had come out, the very day Voom put a stop to any work orders, and they had said the person who did the install screwed it up so bad was a safty risk...

    almost sounds like it would of been just as cheap to keep it going

    Last VOOM Statement

    Oh I know, thats why I said I don't understand why the CVV isnt manditory on all charges. Its extra security, presumably for our benifit, but if the banks don't make it required it does little to actually protect us. I know when I delt with the Efax issue the bank told me they have the problem...

    Last VOOM Statement

    Dont nessisrily count on that, hehe. Is the card really "DEAD" or is it just older expired card of one you have now? By that I mean my bank every yr-2yrs sends me a new card, has same CC number as old one just new expire date and 3 digit code. Lots of times companies with an expiring CC will...

    Great To Have Voom Again But Only 1/2??

    I seem to recall E* saying all 21 by 2006. Unfortunatly "By 2006" can mean any time up to Dec 31,06 technically without being a lie so who knows. Im making do with Comcast for now but hopeing DTV floors everyone with something good soon as I truly dont want to put up with 3 more dishes on top of...

    It's yours

    So far, there is no way I've read to do so. The box has/had to be activated for the OTA to keep going. At this point you could call voom and ask for a hit but chances are slim to none on it I think.

    It's yours

    I still think its nice of em to let us keep the leased ones and that their leaving OTA enabled on em. I know some want nothing more to do with Voom but at same time free OTA tuners vs $200+ to buy a OTA ATSC tuner retail is kind of hard to hate, at least for me. :D

    It's yours

    Well I kind of doubt at this point that they will send a Kill All signal. Ppl that cancelled early are out of luck as they got a true kill signal but for those of us who stuck till the bitter end wont be getting one. Maybe if they had some way to make some coin on getting all the units returned...

    E* is now part-owner of Voom 21HD channels

    iceondsom, For the record, in case you havent read it yet, over at AVS they have a post about the latest confrence call of E* Chat & QnA Some key phrases from it tho Which kind of supports my earlier comment about E* wanting to wait till AFTER they get Mpeg4 implimented Based on comments...

    E* is now part-owner of Voom 21HD channels

    Fair enough. You did say coming months not couple months. Then again Dec 2006 is a "coming" month (wink). I just assumed, bad thing to do, that you meant in the next few months by your comment which we have no garuntee is gonna happen. Heck CV might screw something up and Voom completely die god...

    E* is now part-owner of Voom 21HD channels

    Well ANYTHING is possible, I just doubt its likely that you will see all 21 on E* before 2006 hehe. I was just pointing out that E* doesnt have a record of being early/ontime as you yourself just pointed out the really like to push things out as far as they can. Not to mention the fact that By...

    E* is now part-owner of Voom 21HD channels

    A couple months? LOL. Supposedly the rest ,if I read correctly, wont show till 2006 and mpeg4. By my reckoning thats over 1/2 yr away at mnimum. If I see one more "This thread needs to be moved" comment from a certain someone Im gonna go postal

    All 10 VOOM Channels on Echostar will be on 61.5!

    I'm not sure personally but seem to recall reading several posts stating Voom Dishes would need an LNB changed and some other stuff but I could be wrong. I didnt follow all of it too close since Im not gonna go Dish at this time.

    Whats the rush?

    I'm sorry, where in any of my posts did I say DTV would or wouldnt want a commitment? In fact thats why I said this. I am well aware of DTV's usual commitment deals, was a customer for around 8 yrs I think but not sure anymore was so long ago. I mean my whole point was why jump the very first...

    Whats the rush?

    Except new info on DTV is that it wont be a yr, more like another month or 2. If that does happen the claim is they will have all 21 of vooms plus others coming in june/july. They have already announced the 1st 12 area's to get HD locals even. Seems to me if in another month or 2 I can maybe get...

    Whats the rush?

    Just kind of curious as to why such a panic rush to do a yrs commitment over a few Voom channels? Yes it would be nice to keep voom21's but with all the various remors and such why the rush to lock yourself into a commitment. I'd really like to have/keep MonsterHD but I am not gonna lock myself...

    Any problems with Voom this morning?

    Well I noticed the loss of a few HBO's yesterday actually but since have em on Comcast as well wasnt a big deal for me. One odd thing tho, I'd left Voom box on A@E last night and today while the top bar over the vid image when you use guide says A&E the network bug is for FX and the shows are...

    Anyone else a little bit pi$$ed about the voom/dish thing?

    Exactly if the PQ isnt the same then to me it isnt voom. Now Im seeing reports that Voom21 wont cost extra from the HD pack, LATER ON they promise, however in the transition phase till they have all 21 they say there will be a slight extra charge for access of the voom channels on top of the...

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    Oh sure, we will only charge you more for a little bit then we promise to roll back the price, ROFLMAO. Once they get you to pay more its very VERY rare for a company to then back down a price as they figure your willing to pay more so why cut thier income at all. Its the old "Trust Me" deal and...

    $75+ a Month for Dish VOOM 15 and $149 Install--Nope, will wait

    Ouch, Im paying the same but I get 2 HDDVR's and the plat pkg with HD. Yes some of the Voom channels would be nice but truthfully right now Id rather have comcast as I get all but UPN in HD and via OTA & voom was only getting 3 channels of local. Now that could be in part due to the crappy...

    Anyone else a little bit pi$$ed about the voom/dish thing?

    Huh? I opted for cable in the short run but not "stuck" or locked into anything. Got a decent price/deal with no commitment required. That E* is getting Voom channels is nice but I, after various tales Ive been told about em, I still wouldnt be comfortable with locking myself into a 1 yr...

    All 10 VOOM Channels on Echostar will be on 61.5!

    LOL, thats why Im not gonna suddenly rush out and buy into Dish just yet. Not for the gain of one voom channel I like, MonsterHD, at the expense 4 of my locals in HD that I never could get OTA via voom. Think at this point makes sense to try and be happy with cable for a cpl months and see how...

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    I dont think ppl are bitching that voom channels survive. Some are pointing out that the Choices E* made may suck a bit which is a bit diff plus ppl are always entitled to their opinons. For me out of all the ones slated for E* the ONLY ones I watch on Voom anymore are MonsterHD & occationally...

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    Now if Comcast will announce getting MosterHD, EquatorHD & maybe KungfuHD I'd be happy. None of the others Dish grabed really matter to me. Still its good news for Dish ppl I guess.

    Voom will stay on pass May 1st!

    Well, I would expect em to keep working on the programing since they want to or plan to sell it to Cable n Sats but I still do not expect the Sat to transmit past the 30th. If it does great but I sure aint gonna hold my breath for any sort of repreive this late in the game
