    What chanels will be added?

    According to a source I know via Voom DBS, Feb. 28 is the day that the Rainbow board will approve the sale of Voom to Chuck Dolan. If this happens, then on March 1, we'll see 57 new channnels added total, 4 HD. I did not ask what channels would be included in this, but we have a little...

    Voom featured in WSJ - Sept. 7, 2004

    It's really dissapointing that they have lost so much steam. One one hand they had free everything and had too many customers; on the other hand, they raised their prices and no one signed up! I think V* has to look at itself long and hard and really wonder if it wants to be in the satellite...

    Voom featured in WSJ - Sept. 7, 2004

    voom around for how long...? Well, now you have all read the article, I really don't know which direction Voom is headed. They are pushing hard to be included in the retail world and will be everywhere but the big box stores in a few months. The BB and CC of the world might be the answer to...

    Voom featured in WSJ - Sept. 7, 2004

    Great article about Cablevision's plan to spin off Rainbow Media Enterprises to give investors the chance to buy a part of the VOOM enterprise. Watch for VOOM to be in just about every mom and pop store for the holiday season, the big box stores won't be allowed to carry VOOM if they also want...

    OTA Antenna's

    I got upgraded to the winegard SquareShooter. Because of my proximity to downtown and that I live in an apartment building, i can get all stations with a little tweaking of the antenna for some stations. so, although a bit ghetto that I am out there moving the dish around to pick up 24 or the...

    Voom Billing

    I think it is something to do with their system, i was "overdue" after being a customer for about a week, but I wasn't prompted to enter my CC, nor would I. But, i am still watching so i guess i am kosher...

    PQ has improved it seems or did it?

    Many of the SD stations are better PQ, Gross Point Blank on TBS last night looked pretty decent and the HD stations, some are better, some aren't but that might have more to do with the signal they are receiving. Not a bad fix and I am sure they will continue to tweak it up and improve it.

    Sorry to say but I won't be Vooming anymore! (Edit: Totally Back)

    Despite all of the PQ problems, I will be sticking with V* (unless it goes drastically more downhill). I am a firm believer to stick with a new business if you believe in their mission and product. They have shown a dedication to resolving major issues and have been transforming their company...

    Sorry to say but I won't be Vooming anymore! (Edit: Totally Back)

    I didn't think I had experience much of a PQ difference recently until today. Watching the Masters OTA in HD was just about the most amazing sporting event I have seen. I switched over to Rave and it was good, but not like the OTA. The exclusives are neat for showing off or if you have a...

    Voom ads on FoxNews

    This just could be their advertising agency picking the demographic up, not necessarily that V* is adding FoxNews anytime soon. Interesting, but advertising is different than real life!

    Voom is definitely a niche service

    This is a great topic...Voom is definately an earely adopters dream come true. Lots of HD (programming is a different topic, but i have been able to impress many friends and family with the PQ on a few channels so far). Your car analogy is a good one too; there are lots of tv's being sold that...

    Is Voom Worth keeping for 1 Channel

    I like the HD soccer matches that are occasionaly on and their HD programming, from the premiums to Bravo to Discovery are awesome. Playboy HD is a nice touch. If you don't really care about the HD choices, then why did you sign up for Voom? sounds like you have some serious early adopter...

    Espn Poll

    Get rid of some of the other exclusive content and add ESPN. V* can't be a serious contender until they get it, so when they are ready for the real time, they will get it. By the look of today's antics with the update, they have a whole lot of time before they are ready to get their 25,000...

    Told me the download would restart, and it looks like it is, i am waiting until it completes, or 45 minutes, whichever comes first. so far we are at minute 10 of d/l V* tech received a memo explaining the software update, probably what Wilt sent out last night.
