    The thank you letters should be sent to Mr. Dolan before the board meeting if possible. At least he might feel a little better when the sharks starts gnawing on him.

    Mid Sunday ad for VOOM national tv

    IMHO, Voom must continue to provide service pending the fcc decision. What if the fcc says no to the sale of the satellite frequencys? That bird wouldn't be worth much by itself if voom was already shut down. But, if Voom is still growing, it could possibly attract some investors.

    Thank You letters to VOOM and Charles Dolan

    January 30, 2005 Dear Mr. Dolan As a VaVaVoom customer since June 2004 with three STB’s, I have enjoyed the Voom satellite service. I have had my 65” HDTV for about two years now and like most others, was limited to less than a dozen HD stations before Voom. Not only is the video quality...

    Current Issues with VOOM's PQ

    I would do it all over again. I really like Voom. There are some occasional PQ issues but at other times the PQ is simply amazing! I had digital cable before and the HD PQ was pretty good, SD PQ was poor on lower analog channels. Overall Vooms PQ on SD and HD is pretty good, they still have...

    CEDIA-2004: VOOM

    I hope they have re-considered self installs. If Voom insists on sending an installer to deliver the DVR they would be wasting a lot of time and money they could use else ware. My guess is that many of you are like myself and installed your own STB's while the installer assembled the antenna...

    New info in SEC doc filed 9/2

    I'm hanging with voom till the end. What's the big deal about jumping ship early? It's not like there won't be any choices left to go too if Voom doesn't make it. Voom has the best bang in HD for my dollar. I pay $127/mo for VaVaVoom and 3 box rental. I still have cable for the internet, but...

    VOOM Receives Prestigious CNET Editors' Choice Award

    I caught the last part or Crusoe last night on one of the Cinema 10 channels and was an awesome transfer. No noise in the picture, awesome color depth and clarity. I wish they all could look as good.

    I see it on my 65" Toshiba RPTV. I haven't noticed the micro-studders though. Almost sounds like a 3:2 pulldown issue. --Steve

    Component Cables Supplied by Voom

    Installation was June 22. I got 2 DVI cables for 3 boxes, no other cables, not even phone, no welcome package nada. The installers were not very knowledgeable. I fixed everything after they left. They put a 3x2 multi-switch on the roof at the dish and ran 3 cables down to my basement into a...
