DarrellP???? You must be joking!:confused: One could get a more informed opinion about Dish from Ray Charles - not forgetting the fact that Ray Charles is not only blind he's also dead. :D :eek: :rolleyes:

Internet forums tend to fill up with people that want to voice their opinion and most often it is negative. Not many seek out a place to voice their praise, just a place to bash someone or something. So, here we've had a ton of whiners chime in with whatever they hate about Voom which isn't at...

Actually I made my prediction over a month ago, check it out here.

ME TOO! I Win! :) I predicted that some dickhead would claim to have predicted Voom's shutdown. God, I'm so fantastic! Yippee! :)

Did you mean 'grammatic' ? ;)

Good point, I think a lot of new subscribers may have missed the behind the scenes issues that drove the early going. Voom had to start broadcasting by October of 2003 or they would lose the rights to the frequencies they had reserved. This was cool for us early subscribers as Voom treated us...

Are you saying she's a man, baby? :D

Death of Voom: we just weren't ready By Molly Wood, senior editor, CNET.com<O:p</O:p Tuesday, April 12, 2005 <O:pI confess: I helped kill Voom. When I visited the Voom booth at CES 2004, I stood, transfixed, through demos of stunning HDTV programs, networked photo sharing, and channel...

You got it, looks like we're all going to be driving clunkers. HD Lite - oh boy. I think its going to be cable for me.

"It's only a flesh wound!" This thread is reminding me of the black knight in the "Holy Grail" getting hacked to pieces. At some point we must ask, "so what are you going to do bleed on me?"

Wow, even Chuck voted to shut it down. :( Well, I'm glad I had Voom. I will miss the La Liga games more than anything. Telling my son that we can't watch the games together anymore will be the hardest part...damn.

No idea but just the interst on 16.5B could have kept Voom running for years. :mad: Adelphia is the only cable operator in my area, somehow Charles Dolan is going to keep getting my money.;)

Now you are just being lazy. I'm not going to do your legwork for you but I suggest you explore the TV listings for these channels yourself! Here are a couple of clues for you: Sopranos The "L" Word Six Feet Under

Check this one out.... So I check out the SatBiz news site here. and found the following text: WEDNESDAY MARCH 23, 2005 Ergen Not Target of Probes Accoster Communications Corp. added 430,000 net new subscribers in the fourth quarter of last year, bringing it in line for the first time in...

It appears to me that many Dish and DirecTV subscribers want Voom to fail because they think it proves that they made the right decision when they chose a DBS provider. They want to say, "I'm better than those poor schlubs who thought that Voom startup was going to succeed." Journalists appear...

It would be far too ironic if Voom goes dark only to have the FCC subsequently rule that the sale of Rainbow 1 cannot go through. How much borrowed time do we have left? This is getting me depressed too :mad: I think I'll go watch something in HD.

I, too, am waiting for some official word as I'll likely add a few receivers.

Where does it say they won't? Are you suggesting that the FCC set up a web site, hired staff including attorneys, created review boards and wrote and published rules and regulations for proceedings specifically to solicit public comments with the intent to throw them away without consideration...

I'm in.

This offer doesn't strike me as a move that would be made by a company about to shut its doors. However, since Vurbano hasn't chimed in yet I'll await his decree on why this new offer is somehow bad news and spells doom yet again. :p

Hmmm...I guess you don't see the irony in your post and my tag line.

New channels added Yes, I have them all and all are broadcasting now. I have Va Va Voom if that matters. New channels can only mean one thing - lots of bitching, whining and complaining today here in the forum - sigh.

To be objective about this debate regarding the recently added channels (in dark gray horizonal bars below) and whether they should be included in the basic Voom package versus VaVaVoom I checked out the other DBS providers and put together this snapshot of some of the channels and some of the...

Get a hold of yourself, man! You'll take away all of the things to complain about if you keep making good suggestions like that.:D

Andrzej: How about this: As a VaVaVoom subscriber I am very happy that they added six more channels to my lineup at no cost to me. Now I get 42 channels more than if I had bought the basic Voom package. Way to go Voom! How is that? ;)
