    Return of Equipment

    As much trouble as I had getting the equipment installed and waiting around for no-call / no-show techs to do OTA upgrades, if Voom wants their equipment back they can give me the date they are coming out and that morning the equipment is hitting the street,. All I can say is they had better be...

    Just got off the phone with a CSR

    Just called to upgrade to VaVaVoOm. Also let the CSR know I haven't been getting my locals eventhough they did an antenna upgrade. He said he could send someone out next Tuesday morning. I told him they have just put in omni-directional antennas when AntennaWeb say's a medium directional is...

    DirectTV and 1500 HD channels?

    I have my D* channel guide setup to display only the channels I am interested in watching. Once you weed out all the shopping, religion, cartoons and porn, the guide list is shorter than you'd think. I have held off setting up the guide for Voom in a similar manner because I was waiting to see...

    DirectTV and 1500 HD channels?

    The ankle is improving. I got the cast off last week and am wearing a brace and taking physical therapy 2 times a week for the next couple of weeks. I figure I'll be back at work in a week or two tops. I know my boss will be happy to hear that. I just wish I had been more mobile than I was then...

    Dolan has to raise financing by Feb. 28 for Voom buy-out

    Voom is not Charles Dolan's first business venture. He knows he will have to give up something (possibly his part of Cablevision) to get the backing he needs to keep Voom afloat. But, that is one small hurdle compared to the big one he will have in addressing the numerous installation problems...

    DirectTV and 1500 HD channels?

    I am a D* installer. I only install D*, not E* nor V*. I have V* on my only HD ready set for 2 reasons. #1 I didn't want to pay D* $300+ for a new receiver and off-air antenna. #2 I didn't see the benefit of paying and extra $10 a month for 5 or 6 HDlite channels. I almost didn't go with V*...

    New Software version 7.37

    7.37??? My receiver hasn't even done the 7.33 upgrade yet. Just wondering, if I do a hard boot (unplug the receiver for a few seconds then plug it back it) if it will force the download of the new software? Or do I just have to wait my turn?

    VOOM AMC-6 Status

    Have you considered that maybe they are not planning to upgrade subscribers equipment to receive the different signal type coming off AMC6 but are instead planning to offer Voom HD programing as a package to cable providers and transmit the programing to them via that sat. Others have suggested...

    MORE BREAKING NEWS: Cablevision files SEC Form 8-K

    Not only did E* not buy the programing, as far as I have heard they didn't buy the STB's or "soon to be release" (yea right) HD DVR. They just bought the up-link center & satellite. I have read so many "what if..." or "could it possibly be..." posts in the forums in the past few days it boggles...

    Reality Check Observation!

    Okay, try this one on for size... As has been said over & over Voom has space rented on another sat, and a second uplink center being built so there is a chance they could move operations over to them and continue to operate. But to continue service they need operating capital and to reduce...

    The End of VOOM?

    What a hoot! I think we should re-name the thread "Open Mike Night at Voom's Comedy Club" and just post jokes from here on.

    The End of VOOM?

    Let me try to explain this very simply. Here is a current list of E*'s satillites in orbit and their locations as is listed in a program I have (SatFinder v4.3): EchoStar 3 61.5W EchoStar 6 110.0W EchoStar 8 110.0W...
