I still can't believe they're gone. I'm stuck suffering with adelphia cable. If dish ever picks up the full voom21 then I'll sign up with them. Until then, dish really sucks, dtv is a joke, and adelphia is sadly the best option out of a bad bunch. It's kind of like picking the best...

That's more or less the situation I'm in right now. After today I'll know for sure if my condo board will allow satellite dishes, but even if they do, I still look at it the same way you do. I'm paying adelphia 80/mo for everything including a dual tuner HD DVR. The HD selection is pretty...

ahahahaha!! Thanks, you made my day!!! Good stuff!! :D :D :D

heh...good luck. Read my experiences in the adelphia forum here. They sucked years ago and they still suck now. They are currently the cheapest though. I get the full thing with all the premiums and the HD pack (a measly 13 channels) for about 81/mo, and that's with an HD DVR. I chose...

I've read that eventually they plan on moving the channels off the 61.5 sat or possibly moving the sat itself. Anyone know how soon this may happen? I'm that much closer to getting dishes officially approved in my condo, but if they do get approved, they will not approve more than 1 dish per...

hrmm....I'm sitting here watching cable from a company I despise. I also don't like dish, their "special offer" is nothing of the sort, and I probably couldn't put up a dish from them right now even if I wanted to. I lost about 25 HD channels in the process and have no real prospects for...

Well that would be interesting. I could keep cable, and just use the voom dish for the voom channels if dishnet lets me get just those channel.

The more of these threads I read, the more i"m reminded of why I went with directv instead of dish when I first got into satellite. I never really liked dish's marketing schemes and pricing packages. They were just too freakin confusing.

Well, that pretty much rules it out for me. I might have been able to get away with the one 61.5 dish I already have up from voom, but there is no way in hell my condo board will let me put up TWO dishes!!!! (and no, I'm not covered by the fcc rules. I don't have LOS from my exclusive areas...

right. If it's a powered antenna it will need to get its power from the voom box. (I think)

Exaclty my question this morning. Now that it's past 8:00 can anyone confirm exactly what the "special" deal is? As of last night it didn't really sound all that special. Also, is the voom box completely useless now besides OTA? Am I safe in throwing it in a closet?

So are discoveryHD, espnHD, etc.. also coming in from the 61.5 dish or is a second dish needed to get those?

six of one....half dozen of the other... they charged you a 250.00 setup fee no matter how you look at it.

Yes, I'm a little confused about this too. Should I stay up late tonight to see voom go dark, or is it not going dark until tomorrow night?

hrmm...the dishnet offer is starting to sound less and less enticing the more I learn about it. I hope other companies follow along and add the voom programming too.

techweb, I may be wrong, but the 250.00 for the 942 dvr is not a purchase. It's an up-front fee to just let you lease the box. You still have to pay a monthly lease fee for it and ultimately you do not own it. Pretty lame if you ask me. This is my understanding. Can anyone else...

Just remember when considering if you should jump now or wait......the early bird gets the worm.....but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese.

Does their top 180 include the premiums? If not, how much extra are they?

Yep, I agree. I got adelphia at a fairly decent price for 16 months, and until everything shakes out, I'm sticking with it. Since adelphia is listed as a carrier for monstersHD on the monsters website, maybe it's a sign of good things to come.

I would wait a few days until the smoke clears and the dust settles. It seems every csr has a different story. I've read posts from reliable people that the programming will be on 61.5, and there have been other posts from equally reliable people that it will be on the other sats. I've heard...

Because voom made a very public announcement and explicitly told us to!! This programming deal was a done deal weeks ago. Why do you think C Dolan just folded so easily and voted with the board to shut voom down after fighting with everything he had to keep it running? This is just...

All I've seen is speculation about the 942. Everything points to a 250.00 up front fee that simply gives you the privilege of renting one. It's not even a purchase!!! If this is the case, that's not such a good deal. Although if the programming price is right, I would probably consider...

well, if it helps anyone figure things out, I'm paying adelphia 81/mo for their complete package with HD, all the premiums and an HD DVR. This is a discounted rate of 25/mo off their regular rate. I have it for 16 months. I wonder if the dish deal will be able to match this once it's...

Personally, if I could get just the voom10 with the 61.5 voom dish I have up right now, I would be happy. I would keep cable with the HD DVR that cost me nothing up front and only 9.95/mo, and pay the extra few bucks for the voom10 from dish. My ideal scenario right now would be for...

I'm happy about it too although given the recent developments with how much they are going to charge, I wouldn't exactly say they are "rescuing" the voom customers. What I'm not happy about is the fact that they waited until the very last day to let people know, meanwhile for the past several...
