I had Comcast installed yesterday. Full package including all channels, HD, and DVR. $25 off per month for 16 months by switching from a dish brought me to $89/mo. I was paying $99 for Voom so after taxes on the Comcast I might end up paying a little more or a little less. I figured I'd...

So is there a difference between leasing and buying when it comes to additional receivers? Looking at their website if you lease it is $14.50 per month per additional receiver and if you buy it is $5 per month per additional receiver. If leasing goes down to $5 per month, is buying going to...

Ahh, I didn't know that about DBS vs FSS. Maybe VOOM could just use the 30" dishes that they were giving people to help with rain fade, rather than rolling out a brand new eliptical dish.

The exclusive channels owned and operated by Rainbow Media were supposed to go to VOOM as part of the original spinoff (which the FCC repeatedly declined), and I know EchoStar didn't buy them. Is Cablevision hanging onto them, are they going to VOOM HD LLC, are they still up for sale, or are...

I could totally see Microsoft merging with Voom. Bill Gates has wanted to get into television for a long time. They have had a few failed attempts in certain areas over the years. They decided to push hard again with WM9. If I recall, Voom was one of the first to decide to support WM9 for...

Access is real bad with the memory leaks. I reboot my Windows 2000 servers once a month (as a practice) and my Windows XP desktops as needed, anywhere from a few times a week to a few times a month. I used to reboot WinNT servers/desktops a few times a week and much of my hatred towards...

Mine just says "OLYMPIC: Active". I am in the Chicago area. I can see the HD feed on 321 (also on my OTA, but the 321 feed does seem to be better quality) but I cannot get either of the two SD feeds. Also, on the program guide it says to check other stations like Bravo, USA, MSNBC, and CNBC...

Yeah it sounds like anyone with only a digital OTA signal for NBC will be screwed if they want to see the olympics in real time, or if they want to watch any other programming. Voom is helping us out by broadcasting an SD feed over the satellite so we have the option to watch the local digital...

I would not have signed up for VOOM for $750 up front. As much interest as I had in finally getting some good HD content for my HDTV, I couldn't see spending that kind of money, especially on an unproven service. Though I didn't spend that kind of money on HD installations from either of the...

Hmm, maybe I'll finally try out this Tivo thing everyone speaks so highly of. Thanks for the news!

Both of us have VOOM. Another friend has just plain old cable TV and he does not have the problem with ESPN.

One of my friends has been watching a lot of ESPN (both HD and SD) and told me about how every couple of minutes there are black flashes where the whole screen goes black for a second and comes back. We watched a bit of a hockey game last night and sure enough it happened on my VOOM, too...

My installer said it could be done, but I took that with a grain of salt. I decided to try anyway. I tried each of the inputs and couldn't get anything to work. I poked around in the menus and didn't find any way of enabling it. The one thing I did not try is the not so secret service menu...

Thanks for everything and congrats!

Whether anyone actually watches those channels or not doesn't really matter as long as cable/satellite services across the country still continue to carry them. They will be an already established recurring source of revenue for Rainbow as they try to build VOOM's own subscriber base. I do...

I think the wind has been affecting my stealth antenna. Watching FOX last night I had a few drops where the picture would freeze and the sound would cut out. I really wish it would work like the old fashioned analog broadcasts and antennas where the picture would go but you'd still be able to...

That's just my point. The VOOM PVR is a pretty wild design. What if some of us don't need or don't want to pay for the extra bells and whistles (assuming they cost more than a standard Tivo or ReplayTV or other might cost). Hopefully the other, simpler, PVR options out there will support the...

Interesting thoughts. There have been 5 or 10 downloads that have cost any money so far in 1.5 years Xbox Live has been available out of over 150 downloads made available in that time. And there is definitely a difference between "content" (extra missions, levels, game types, etc - ever hear...

We will get more channels, hopefully a better picture across all channels, and VOOM might even get some free publicity out of Microsoft (hopefully more besides this one press release) since they are one of the early adoptors of the WM9 technology. Sounds good to me.

Go to the My VOOM section. When I signed up they gave me a user/pass for it. If they didn't give you one I think you can enter your account number to create one. I got installed last Wednesday the 7th and I have not been auto-billed yet.

The only time I ever really watch any news channels is during a major disaster. I hope this isn't a bad omen!! Glad to see VOOM adding to their lineup in any case.

Watched House of 1000 Corpses tonight and I was surprised how good it looked. Watched some Serengeti show on Discovery HD and while the show was pretty cool, it didn't look HD at all except for one part where they were showing some colorful birds - that part was fairly vibrant, while the rest...

I'm new to HD and have only had VOOM a week so my eyes aren't as trained as some of yours, but I have to say I thought Ice Age looked phenominal. I can't wait for Nemo on Saturday.

Yeah the good thing about VOOM (at least right now) is being able to try it out without significant out of pocket expense or getting locked into a contract. Definitely check first to make sure they carry the few basic cable channels you enjoy. A few off the top of my head that they don't yet...

I'm definitely going to try and stick it out. Without customers, VOOM won't have either the means or the reason to fix their problems. I signed up for VOOM because I had high hopes for what the future would bring so I've got to stick around for a little while at least in order to get a glimpse...
