Finally got my last bill with my $400 customer loyalty credit plus an odd little $7 credit for Va Va Voom. *shrug* When I get the check I'll be happy. Thanks for doing the right thing Voom.

Probably the charge for the final 1/2 month of service or whatever...

Indeed ;) It's almost like Christmas! Hardly paid twice though, the boxes only sold for about $115 together. -MP

You will receive one.

New info developing for box owners... http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=68011?

I just called... and it's TRUE! Or at the very least, I have a positive credit on my account currently that equals what I paid for my boxes minus what I owed them for my last month. Hallelujah! If this holds and I get an actual check, then I am MORE than satisfied. -MP

I think when HDCP was turned on, it affected all channels. They claimed they did not have a method of differentiating the output. And yes, it was very much turned on.

THat was not the case previously. I had my box unplugged 45 days and it worked fine. So it would have had to be a change in the program.

When I sold my 2 to a fellow Satguys member, I included a promise that OTA will function for 2 months. If it doesn't, I'll take them back. Beyond 2 months, I wash my hands of Voom and their boxes.

As noted in another thread (and told to me today by the CSRs) we will receive a letter in the next three weeks outlining what Cablevision has decided to do for box owners. But the CSRs claim to have no idea what the letter will say. With any luck it's a coupon for a free PPV movie on Dish ;)...

Whoopee. I'm waiting on my letter from Voom. It will be interesting to see what they say. If they continue to offer warranty service on the boxes, I will concede my argument is probably moot and drop it. -MP

Which doesn't address the box owners issue ;)

That's frankly baloney. Even if they want to get the boxes, there's no way they are going to go around and collect the antennas. Just run the wire to your new box. Official line from the CSR today: "We are sending you a letter in the next three weeks which will outline our proposition in...

I've already tried to fight this fight, and there was little interest. So I sold my boxes. Yes, there is a warranty. No, they are NOT honoring the warranty (they have ceased all service calls, so if your box breaks you are screwed). Yes, you could probably threaten them with letters to their...

I got the same email. Nice to see.

Rumors are that D* deal will be done. As for PQ, D* compresses their current HD to 1280x1024 which really frags some people off. I went with D* after Voom because I long for Sunday Ticket in HD ;)

The other cool thing about the 6000 is that it is easily mod'ed by 169time for firewire extraction ;). Bad part is that with the OTA module, it sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

Don't Ebay them. Find someone who understands their value and cut a deal. It's what I did, since CVC can't get their head out of their ass long enough to tell those of us who bought boxes what the hell is going on.

As I have said... I left my receiver as OTA only for 45 days from November into December, and it was still ticking away fine. I think we're all safe as long as you didn't call Voom to deactivate.

Frankly, that's disapointing. It's worse than some people were originally getting offered.

Dear lord, you can't really complain if that's all they are charging for it. Really, that's not a lot of money.

Unfortunately this means absolutely nothing to me, and I am still screwed with these boxes. I'm happy for those of you that have or will get Dish. As for myself, I continue my struggle for a refund.

Called yesterday, no change in the company line. They have no idea what they are going to do about the receivers, they are very sorry, etc;

Hehe, they tried to make the fact that they screwed their consumers with this Locals nonsense a GOOD thing? Yowsers.

Voom LLC was established but the transfer of Voom itself was never made to it. Voom remained a Cablevision asset to the end.
