    Anyone else a little bit pi$$ed about the voom/dish thing?

    With Directv you either return the equipment OR you have an early termination of 150, not both also the 150 termination fee is prorated by the number of months left on the commmitment

    Interesting story in the SKY Report about VOOM....

    if the organization i successful in stopping the sale of the sat, which i believe the chances are zero, all that would be accomplished is screwing echostar/dish users that might reap the hd the new sat would allow. in a sense your organization would strenghten dtv and while i hate to call it a...

    Cablevision agrees to end Voom

    I would hope you would watch closely, but in the end the retailer would be the last 2 know, i hope voom stays alive but i would go talk to D or E and see if you could line up some work, in fact i would have done that a few months ago. I would be willing to bet there are not many dealers out...

    Rainbow Spin-off is dead

    and if they made the same 600 % improvemnent between now and next december they would still have too few subscribers to sustain another dbs provider, thats just plain fact. Voom really needs to get on the ball if they are going to try and be around long term. 30.000 subs is way too small for 13...

    Quote by Calikarim: Economics 101 guys, this is what capitalism is all about. You build a better mousetrap and they will rush to you. No matter not capital, ideas are capital. Good ideas attract capital. Voom would maybe cost $250 million , a drop in the bucket for so many billionaires and...

    Rainbow Spin-off is dead

    Quote of bbrukx This is a quote from earlier post, but he is wrong. D* and E* have 20 million subscribers. There are 250 million people in the US almost 90 million homes that will be the potential market in a couple of years, as HD sets become more prevelant. That means 70 million more...

    Rainbow Spin-off is dead

    i dont think this is something that will change quickly especially with the need for an antenna, Is Voom going to offer locals ? if not they have just closed the door on a large part of the market. Most people dont care about HD, we all do here but thats probably the reason we found this forum...

    Rainbow Spin-off is dead

    2 % of the market now might be ok but in the long run 2% of Saturation is way too small a number to justify the outlay of cash they need to compete with cable, directv and echostar. All of the other providers will eventually catch up to VOOM especially if voom sits at 2 %. At that number voom...

    Wrong Wrong Wrong, Millions of dollars in startup costs were saved by using existing lines, Cable was already in millions of homes before they even thought up cable modems, as for being like Voom yes in one way they surely are , @home was the original provider of the cable modem service for...

    \ I agree for the most part but the big question still remains, are there enough of us to support a company like Voom especially when a lot of Us are being turned off by the business practices of Voom. My guess is Voom would rather be loved by the masses than JUST be loved by US, simply...

    Rainbow Spin-off is dead

    If thats true, it is way too small a number for voom to last. as for value to another provider it wouldnt be extremely valuable at that figure either. especially considering what some have reported here, that half of the sign ups are cancelling. so 50 to 60 a day customers even at the vavavoom...

    I suggest no such thing in fact i go on to say i wish my experience with voom was as good as vurbanos. I also said in effect i wish i had his outlook, but to suggest all that this stopping of the spinoff is a good thing (stopping a planned spinoff of any compnay has never resulted afaik in a...

    that is certainly not the case according to all the documentation in the sec filing. they are hemmoraging cash at an alarming rate . no matter the size of the company thats never good. they have no shot at making money now. a non early adopter doing research would not take the voom route, i...
