    We Really Had It Great With Voom!!

    I followed Voom to Dish. But finally even Voom lite with the meager Dish HD offerings is no longer really cutting it. I want ALL my HD. We had it great as Voomers. If offered a Voom DBS, all the HD currently available on the the planet including national HD feeds for the masses with my OTA...

    Voom Originals in Best Buy

    Bitter sweet to see this promo now everytime I go into COSTCO about a year too late for the "real" voom. Will we ever see new content let alone all the channels back? :(

    I Got My Refund Today !!

    Mine came today. Charter member with check in hand. 2 receivers and VaVaVoom all the way. Everyday I still miss what was. At least we saw the future and it was great. Limping along with Dish.

    Last VOOM Statement

    Still don't understand. I'm in the same boat as you. Two purchased receivers in December 2003 and I too got a refund last year. Again the CSR's keep telling me no refunds or buy backs for receivers. So I don't understand all the reports to the contrary. Are these subs later buyers or...

    Last VOOM Statement

    I bought mine and after three calls I was told three times no buy back or refund. just keep the receivers but I will get a refund for the few last days of no service I was billed. I don't get who and why some are saying the've got hundreds of dollars coming back.

    Last VOOM Statement

    No rebate or buy back of the receivers. I just got off the phone with Voom CSR, I was a charter member and own two stb's, my balance is a refund of $6.xx for the last month's service. I was told all rights for the boxes are now the owner's but there is and will be no buy back or refund for...

    Last VOOM Statement

    Since we've all been calling and getting the check's in the mail line, I thought it would be helpful for all of us to find out when someone actually receives their notice. So lets keep each other posted for concrete developments.

    One last Voom statement?

    I just called 800-GET-VOOM and was told all final statements will be out by the end of this week. Some were sent last week and the rest by this Friday. The CSR said it would explain about refunds etc. So it didn't sound like "the check is in the mail."

    Are You Vooming Again On Dish Yet?

    Duhhh. That was not my point. Do enough people really watch them, are they there to proove something or are they there so Dish can say it offers hundreds of channels?

    Memories! Use this link to go to old Voom Cust Service questions

    Wow Wow a company that offered what I wanted and gave me the same answer every time I called. Thanks for the links. They worked for me as well. I did like the 2003 version of the website best but the last one was still good.

    Are You Vooming Again On Dish Yet?

    Vooming again Well I negotiated the Dish CSR rapids and with the help of and a local retailer I am now linked to littleVoom now. I've an 811 and 942 with all my locals as before. The Voom large dish and OTA Channel Master were re-used. Now to learn the new systems and remotes. Not as...

    Zap-it Guide Gone

    I still had everything. My entire VaVaVoom lineup listed until last night. I kept up on the Voom-10 channels through the guide. Still as of today down to only my locals. It still gives me better info than my Dish guide etc. How? Who knows why? It might be my sacrificial offerings or...

    Zap-it Guide Gone

    Well it's final. I've been using my Voom zap-it guide to get my ota info. There was some comfort in scanning the old guide to see what I was missing. All the info was upto date. But tonight the Voom web site changed and so did the zap-it guide. All but my local info has gone away...

    What about us Charter Members!

    I'm glad this has come up. I have mixed feelings but if anything is to be done it seems clear a class action would be the only practical option. Los Angeles, Charter subscriber since 12/03. I bought everything knowing Voom was a sart-up and there would be risks. But because being an...

    VoomHD+free install=$100?!?!?!

    Always looking for the edge of the envelope. Willing to take risks BUT I do require straight dealing. If we consumers want the market to improve we've got to do our part and say no to scams. Can't be lemmings.

    VoomHD+free install=$100?!?!?!

    Voom DBS was a great concept, a quality, value based, HD focused, DBS with its own ground breaking original programming. But business wise??????... What part of free installation equates to $100 for an extra antenna. Rainbow in an agreement with Dishnetwork advertises on Voom.com that Dish...

    Anyone know what the real Dish/Voom deal is?

    Every call is a $5 and up difference is price. The Voom.com promotional as stated does not truly exist. At best there seems to be a $100 switching/surcharge/extra dish fee, as well as montly box fees and also of course a one year committment. So no matter what you call it more money than...

    Voom's free switchover offer to Dish far from free...

    I think all they meant was the call is free. It's more like the $100 Voom surcharge/switching fee. VaVaVoom just went way up and the content way down.

    Different Answer Everytime

    I made three separate calls with three different results. Each had their own math about which extras, box fees, HD paks fee etc with different outcomes. None had a straight forward answer that matched the Voom screen. I think I need to shower to get the slime off. WOW is right. I gotta...

    Dish?!?!?!?!?!?

    So how many dishes does it take with E* to get HD, movies, locals and the cable favorites? My neighbor has 2. I see some with 3 plus around our block. Where is E* in regards to mpeg4? Which boxes work will, which will need to be replaced and which are upgradeable? So many providers...
