    VOOM won't give me back my $!

    Who the hell are you to call me a troll? I have plenty of cash in my various accounts. This is consistent with being careful with money. I do think that $400 for one months worth of service with buggy service is too much. Voom promised a money back guarantee in the literature. They are not...

    VOOM won't give me back my $!

    They are a bunch of weasels! I cancelled them early last month. SO, where is my refund? I called a csr weasel who lied to m e and told me that VOOM credited my credit card (my credit card company says that they never did). The weasel also told me that since they credited my account (no, they...

    ISF Calib.

    [There is a calibrated Mitsubishi in my local store, it looks to me like a dust coated. I am very picky on colors based on my knowledge on art, painting and photography, I tweak the TV to make it please my own eyes... That says it all. Most people are so used to watching TV with exagerated...

    Another successful Voom deinstall!

    I did get the update. It did help surfing. However, it made other things worse. SOmetimes, you would have to slect the same channel more than once to not get a "channel unavailable" message. I got glitches and reduced pq. Overall, I' liked it better before the "update". The picture was...

    Another successful Voom deinstall!

    The installer said that the over riding reason for people cancelling was the lack of of locals. Translation- had we been able to recieve the locals that we should be getting, VOOM, rather than spending$3200 to hook and dehook us, would be recieving $320+ a month from us for continuing to...

    Another successful Voom deinstall!

    Well, to recap, I never got locals and so canceled within the 30 days to get my $ back. The installer didn't show up until 6:45pm tonight. I was getting peeved as I was hungry and wanting to head out to my local mexican food place for shrimp fajitas. He came, took the book and attennas, asked...

    Windows Media 9 HD 1080p Anamorphic @ 6.8Mbps! voOm needs WM9HD compression!

    What's the big seal about wm9? I watched a little T2 on my new Sony 3.2gig pc and I found wm9 to be clunky. There is a way better solution than going with microsuck. There is a company (I forgot the name) that has a system that can encode both HD and SD on the same disc with no loss in...

    Bye bye VOOM!

    What would it have taken to keep me? A written promise to extend the money guarantee on my box until locals are mapped in. For me, $400 is a lot of $. Would I go back to VOOM? Only if locals were there. VOOM just a few hundred dollars from me.

    Bye bye VOOM!

    Well, I got tired of the bugs and lack of local ota (I can actually see the HDTV antennas from house- too bad voom couldn't get the mapping right) I called VOOM and told them I wanted to cancel. The CSR asked why. I said "I am tired of the buggy equipment. I was promised that I'd get ota and...

    Software Version V16 ??

    No matter- By April 10, I am calling VOOM to haul it all away. No promised locals plus the end of my 30 day trial period= one cancelling VOOM subscriber.

    Software Version V16 ??

    Will this update allow me to get my locals, or do I still have to wait for that magical day when they "mapped"?

    The Price of HD

    My post makes a LOT of sense. My box will not pull in any local HDTV. None, nada, zip! Voom says it is a mapping problem, but they did not say when, if EVER it will be fixed. So, I have no locals. I can get locals with a normal (re: non voom) box. I have done this with a borrowed Samsung 151...

    The Price of HD

    Don't forget to add an extra $350 to the cost of VOOM, for a ota reciever. My box will not pull in the ota. I'll send it back before the end of my 30 days. I really don't think I am being unreasonable about this. If my local cable company promised me locals and, after the install, told me that...

    I just got Voomed- my experience

    If that's the case, then my VOOM setup will be long gone by then. :mad:

    I just got Voomed- my experience

    I have done sys resets, unplugged it, done this all again without touching the thing for 30 minutes, waved my magic rabbit ear antenna over it, etc. Bottom line- no ota stations! Personally, I don't understand why all this "mapping" is necessary to get local ota HDTV. I can go out to Best Buy...

    I just got Voomed- my experience

    Message- "No signal recieved on local 0-8. Please try again later" 0 off-air signal power 18 for off -air signal quality I called Voom CSR. He told me to unplug it and wait 15 seconds :rolleyes: He has NO idea how many times I have done that and did factory reset. He mentioned...

    I just got Voomed- my experience

    My off-air map number is 0114 Mr. Biggles- I'll give them 30 days. Unlike some other people on the net, I am not going go around bad mouthing VOOM. I have a feeling that average voom tech is over worked, under paid anyway :no I am sure that VOOm is now signing up lots of people. If most of...

    I just got Voomed- my experience

    Well, I did the plunge. I have a feeling that I will have them take it back. I did the Sears deal- I can't see spending $55 for basic with HBO, as I hear Voom won't honor the sears extra package free deal. STRIKE ONE! No local channels! I have tried three OTA boxes and all have brought in two...
