    No charges for those w/ outstanding service calls?

    That was not what it said. It doesn't matter what Rainbow "meant" to say they didn't say it. This would be like me punching you and then I turn around and say 'I didn't mean to hit you.' I would fight it.

    Last VOOM Statement

    I received my final statement today, June 15th. The due date is June 13th. When I called I was told I would have to pay a late payment fee! Nice to see those who got a "loyalty credit." I was a sub for a year and didn't see a "loyalty credit." With Rainbow dishing out money I'll just give...

    Help with locals scan

    That isn't the way things are going. Stations were given a choice to stay on their digital channel, move their digital to their old analog channel, or choose a different channel if their analog was on 2-6 or their digital was on 52-69. An overwhelming majority of stations have chosen to give...

    Help with locals scan

    The city where the unit was activated determines the default local channel map. However, with VOOM gone these channel maps are useless. With the scanning function the box will receive all locals with a high enough signal level and transmitting Channel Name and Number from anywhere. I have 12...

    Last VOOM Statement

    The card is really dead. My bank always sends out cards with the last 8 digits completly different from the old card. I get them about every two years.

    Last VOOM Statement

    Does anyone know why it is taking so long to get these final bills out? I mean really, they all could have been printed and mailed out on May 1st. It would have been nice if they left the bill paying portion of the site up. I took myself off autopay in Feb. and paid on-line. The card I used...

    Charlie really is looking at using the old Voom Receivers!!!

    Hey Charlie I have a ton of VOOM receivers. You can have them for $1,000 each. If E* wanted to use the VOOM STBs they had all of March and April to develop new programming for the units and seamlessly transition all VOOM subs. The only new developments to come out for the VOOM STBs will be...

    Zap-it Guide Gone

    VOOM is still listed on Titan TV. Animania is the only original with listings, but everything in the line-up is there.

    Does anyone have an update on Final Statement?

    I don't think we are going to see one. Too much staff and funds needed to keep accounts open for another couple months. Then you have a-holes like me who intend to keep that account open for a long time by paying $5-$10 per month. Is there a time limit before they can't collect funds? IE: Can...

    Any way to reactivate OTA after kill signal?

    Lilyarbie, I figure it is just a matter of time before someone comes up with software we can download for the STBs. If people can come up with circut boards and software to hack all the satellite services then we will see software for the 550 at some point. I can still get new software for my 10...

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

    Since it is a small amount and doesn't make a significant change in ownership or control I don't think they would need to file. I and many others have small holdings in companies and never see an SEC filing. In any of the reports I typically see the major holders or all small holders lumped...

    It's yours

    Hey perhaps Satellite Guys could hold a VOOM STB auction and a portion goes to help SG pay the bills. I'll pay $50 per receiver + shipping. I need 2 STBs :)

    sending back equipment

    Which means nothing more than they will be contacting us in two weeks. Did the CSR actually say they definately wanted their receivers back or was it more along the lines of "don't call us we'll call you." One would think if getting the receivers back was of some importance it would take less...

    Ten Million HDTV's in U.S. homes!!! And VOOM only got 40,000 subscribers

    I wonder how many of those 10 million even know they have an HDTV set? My neighbor just wanted a large TV. When he asked me to come over and help hook up the surround sound I started commenting on how nice his HDTV set was. He didn't even know it was an HDTV set!!! He was totally amaized when I...

    Just got email from Dish (Voom offer)

    I didn't appreciate getting unsolisited e-mail from E* and reported it as spam to my e-mail provider.

    sending back equipment

    Earlier today I found out that the DSR-550 is compatable with the HITS service. HITS is Headend In The Sky and is sort of like DBS for cable companies. The little mom & pop cable company a friend of my parents own has placed an order for 10 DSR-550s. These could have just been new units that...

    OTA Signal Issues

    GLBorchert, there has been so much discussion lately that I can't find the source for you, but it was discussed that the VOOM STB was much better at receiving and decoding local channels than both the E* or D* receivers. This came from those that had D* or E* prior to VOOM and used their...

    Official Offer Letter from Dish

    If I see something with a Dish logo on it I'll just mark it "Return To Sender". The post office may try to deliver it back to you so mark out your address with a black laundry pin (so they can't see it) and put it in a corner mail box.

    Do not use VOOM LNB with your Dish Setup

    Sean, did you try to repoint the VOOM dish to 110 and see if the wavy lines were on the HD channels from 110? The VOOM LNB is standard and identical to the rectangle LNBs I have from other manufacturers.

    New Poll: Where are you going?

    Not enough choices, OTA and Other could have been separate. I am now a resident of Westminster, ON ;)

    Screw cablevision and dish

    No, this is what happens when there is less competition. One less DBS player and we're all screwed, no matter what provider you have.

    The switch was flipped exactly at 3:00 AM EST

    I sat and watched until the screen went blank. Not even emoticons can display how I feel at this moment.
