    Last VOOM Statement

    I called in on April 27 to make sure everything was taken care of, and that I was paid up through the service cutoff. I was told that I was. Now, two months later, I get a bill with a past-due due date??? F*ck that. If they insist on pursuing me for collection of the $34.87, I'll UPS them...

    I'd forgotten how horrid the Dish 811 is...

    *bleagh* Compared with the Dish 811, the Voom box was a veritable engineering marvel. Now that I've been forced to endure the 811 again for a few weeks, I'm just ready to punt the damned thing down the street. Spend too much time watching locals... it locks up. Try accessing the guide at...

    What about us Charter Members!

    Yup. I was an early adopter for HDTV. Had a 1st Generation Toshiba 4:3 HDTV. Compared with what is now available, what an overpriced POS. Same thing happens with computer equipment and all consumer electronics. For what you paid last year, you can get this year at half the price and better...

    new voom message on the screen now

    *bleagh* I've had E* for my locals for the last year, so I'm ineligible for any promotional deals. Haven't been under contract for several years, and still have my old 811. I even tried the "I'm a Voom customer and am planning to up my programming from $15/month to $90+/month, what can you do...

    VOOM Shutdown Update

    Got you beat by one fewer channel. Insight cable is even more lame than mediacom. Here are their HD offerings: ESPNHD DiscoveryHD HDNet HDNet Movies HBO HD Showtime HD UniversalHD and none of the local channels are available as HD. I'm going with E* for no other reason than I...

    current dishnetwork and directv offers

    Buy, you folks with Comcast are lucky. Here, it's just Insight, and their packages are outrageously expensive and HD offerings are absolutely dismal. Putrid. Looks like my only option is E* (I still have an 811 lying around from when I was a customer). Bleagh.

    Just got off the phone with a CSR

    It took me about 10 minutes on hold to get a human; considerably longer than usual. We ended up chatting for about 20 minutes. I asked him point blank about the message on the web site and he read me a press release that he had been given when he returned from lunch. It was standard boilerplate...

    Missing Channels like TNTHD, UHD, etc... Read here!

    Tuned in to TNTHD to catch my Law & Order reruns, and I get a screen telling me I need to upgrade in order to get this channel. WTF???

    The End of VOOM?

    Why wouldn't they? I signed up with Dish in January of last year. I was one of the lucky few that got in on the free 811 Receiver deal. At the time it was free installation and a free HD receiver with 1-year commitment to the HD pack and Top 60. Granted, they pulled that deal after only a...
