Is there any chance Dish is going to purchase the current Voom STB's, and flash them to dish? Instant subscribers? Just a thought. roland

Look what comes up on a Google Usenet search about Satellite Country: Seems they used to spam fax people! Newsgroups: sac.general From: usbc...@my-deja.com (John Bartley) - Find messages by this author Date: 24 Jul 2001 12:54:48 -0700 Local: Tues,Jul 24 2001 12:54 pm Subject...

I told the people at Satellite Country (Voom Conversion Center) to not call me on the phone, in email, and on their website. They continue to call. I am on the do no call list. Also, every call is logged with my voip service. I will file a complaint against these scumbags for each and...

I am taking a wait and see attitude - see what happens in May. If I don't have TV for a couple of days, that is no a problem. roland

I talked to a very rude person at Satellite Country in Texas. He answered the phone and identified the company as Satellite Country. (I called the phone number in the letter.) I asked him straight out where he got the names from. He said he got them from Voom. Now how he aquired them, I do...

I managed to get out of the State regulated phone system. I switched over to VOIP. This was not with out problems. I had to put DSL filters on all the phones, and get 900mz cordless phones. The 2.4 and 5.8 gz cordless phones had trouble. There are still some excise taxes, but a lot of the...

This company, Satellite County is in Austin Texas. You can fiile a consumer complaint with the State of Texas: http://www.oag.state.tx.us/consumer/complain.shtml Hope that helps! roland

I received snail mail from these guys today. The name of the company is Satellite County. There address is 1714 Fortview Road, Ste 106 Austin, TX 78704 I just called the number they listed. The guy on the phone is very rude. Burn these guys. roland

The HD-DVD and BlueRay DVD's are not going to take off. People are set up with DVD recorders to record in SD. The current generation of dvd players and recorders will read DVD's, VCD's, and SVCD's that you burn on your computer. To jump to the HD or Blue-Ray DVD is going to be a huge...

There are a couple of things you can do - If you are married, have a room mate - put it in the other person's name. Or ... what we did, we put Dish in a hibernate mode. We were not sure about Voom, and talking to Dish they said this was the best way to do it... it cost $5 a month, and...

The Voom Website is still up. It looks like you can still order Voom. My guess is - something is about to come down about the future of Voom. Just what is anybody's guess. roland

I have avoided posting my thoughts about if Voom will survive or not. My gut feeling is Voom will survive one way or another... just how much money and if the Dolan's family relationship survives is the question. The FCC is going to take 6 months to figure out what happens to Rainbow 1. Ok...

I am one of the new installs. I was installed in Feb. Now I knew the company was having a little bit of a shake up when I installed Voom, but I figured with the $1 install if they closed up, I would not be out much. roland

It is a government agency. They might not work on the weekend. We may have to wait until Monday for it to be updated. roland

I am not sure how the FCC is going to read the comments. It just says brief comment on their web page. It is most likely best to out and out state you are against the sale. After that you can give your reasons... like you enjoy voom, it is the only HDTV satellite service available...

Should this be linked to the Yahoo Groups Gateway? Or will that just make someone upset? roland

I had commented on this. I pointed out that this might be a violation of the Taft-Hartley and Sherman Anti-Trust Acts. Roland

For those of you that want a middle tier package - you could order the Voom package and add a plus pack for $20 like the Starz plus pack. I think the Starz Plus pack includes some other channels besides Starz. Not really sure. roland

The Va-Va Voom package should be HD. The SD channels belong in the Voom Package. Voom should be looking at the price of packages of other providers. Dish is selling the Top 180 package for about $45. This includes the channels they just added to the Va-Va Voom Package. Besides, these...

Hopefully Voom makes BBC for all subs! roland

I am using an AKAI 55 inch rear projection TV. I have the Voom receiver plugged into the DVI input, and it is set as 1080i. The installer set it to 720i, but after reading the manual for the TV, it said the TV would take a 1080i input, so I changed it. The PQ is a lot better. I guess the...

I have a Dish 500 receiver. We purchased it in 200. I just installed Voom a couple of weeks ago. The picture quality on Voom SD channels is marginally better on my Akai 55 inch HDTV then the Dish Network channels. This is mainly because the Voom receiver is plugged into the DVI input and...

My wife just check, no new channels. Did you have to reset your receiver? Leave it on? Are the channels on the Voom package or the Va-Va Voom package? roland

Zap2itcom The tv listings are run by a sub company of tribune news. There is a link to them from one of my local papers, the Deseret News. It actually shows local tv, Dish Network, Comcast, and Direct Tv. The link is http://tvlistings4.zap2it.com/tvkit/zipcode.asp?partner_id=S9W Hope...
