Its kind of amusing reading these posts...I remember all the complaining, whining, and bitching about how bad everything at Voom was while it was on the air, and now that it is gone, some folks are sad about its demise.. Funny, how you don't know what you've got till its gone!!:D

Sounds to me like I made a good decision going with Comcast till all this stuff gets sorted out..MPEG4, etc... Funny, I get a call from Direct TV telemarketers almost EVERY day now; As soon as they say who they are, I tell them that unless they are giving 3 hd recievers for free, with free...

I am so glad I went to Comcast after the Voom demise; even though they are a pain in the ass to deal with, it sounds like the dead scappings of Voom, that so many of you couldn't wait to sign up for, are nothing more than that..Dead pieces of old programming... so happy I didn't waste my $$$...

who the hell wants TWO dishes on their house to get stuff that every other provider has been able to offer with only ONE?? This deal is still nothing to get excited about...

mine have been put back in the box since last week when Comcast got installed.....

Amen to that...Can't imagine why ANYONE would do anything else now, unless they have no cable option, or if they have any other Cable cariier other than Comcast, Time Warner, or Adelphia..

I agree with you completely; insted of gettting excited and all crazy over a chance just to see 10 of the old VOOM channels in "HD LITE", people should wait a bit and see if a REAL HD provider comes along, insted of signing up with "E"..I mean, if you are in an area that has Comcast available...

Yes, I remember it well..and, you are showing your age!!!

I agree with that man...I for one actually enjoyed alot of the "stupid" stuff on the VOOM 21...Monsters, Rave, Equator, and yes, even TANK!!!

Pardon me for asking this, but didn't most folks on this board complain about MOST of the stuff on the VOOM 21 Originals and how totally lame they were? (remember the uproar over the Three Stooges on Mars, TANK, and so forth???) And now suddenly, with the prospect of them going away for...

I agree 100%...I am in the Chicago market, and I have the Digital Platinum pack..PQ is fine, HD offerrings are BETTER than Dish or Direct, and there is no commitment whatsoever. Direct's offer to me sucked(over 100 per month)Dish offerrings are even worse, so its really a no-brainer moving to...

well, the popular decision isn't usually the correct one...Didn't Bush win the popular vote last year?????

I have too owned BOSE speakers, and they are ok for alot of folks...I don't like the way the sell their products; sort of "fair traded" retail pricing, which, I thought was against the law in the USA since 1978...If they catch any of their quthorized dealers selling stuff less than their...

what is everyone gettting so excited about? Voom is CLOSING IT DOORS on May1st; why would you even think about cancelling your Cable install? Even if there is "another" reprive of a day or a week or a month, its obvious that the VOOM we have all loved so much will NOT exist after that date...

According to the "poll", it looks like most folks are jumping to cable... I know the PQ varies by location, but I am pretty satisfied with the signal from comcast outside of Chicago.. Just one question; I have the Moto 6412, and the PQ is fine on the HD channels and the stuff that is...

I thought VOOM was setup as a LLC; that way, their liabilities would be seperate from the parent company... Oh well, who knows, but I do agree it would be much cheaper to give the poor souls who bought recievers some sort of compensation, to avoid the nightmare costs of fighting it in court...

I would disagree. MP....once VOOM ceases to exist, I can't imagine any court trying to force Cablevision to "honor" the warranty of their defunct division..thats why VOOM LLC was formed, I assume, to keep things "seperate".. I hope for the folks who made the mistake of buying their receiver get...

Unless the warranty SPECIFICALLY states that it remains in effect if VOOM goes under, you folks who purchased would have no legal recourse; there is no "implied" codicilles in the warranty; read it closely and I am sure there is a disclaimer about "implied warranty".. I have gone through this...

I have the same DVD player...best deal out there, and the picture IS awesum!

But Ralph, you INVITED VOOM to come over to your house; I assume they did not telemarket you and sell you on their service that way...You CHOSE VOOM, and agreed to their TOS, and, I assume, even though I haven't read the "fine print" lately, that there is a mention in there about returning their...

"leasing" means you get to USE something, by paying a monthly fee, until the lease period is over. I guess the "lease" period is over on 4-30-05, so, just like a car lease, when its over, you have to return the car, and, I assume, we have to return the box.. the car dealer DOES NOT pay you...

So, if the # of households more than doubles again this year, which I am sure it will,maybe THEN someone will realize the Total Available Market for HD is growing incredibly fast, and try to take advantage of that group of folks... If only Voom could hold out another year or so....

Well, lets be honest here about the short term future for a HD provider... Event though I don't have hard numbers, based on what know there are TONS of folks who are jumping on the HDTV bandwagon now; just go to your local Best Buy/Tweeter/Circuit City or whatever, and observe where all the...

remember, 1500 HD channels means 300 cities will be able to get 5 HD channels each... Obviously there aren't 1500 "unique" HD channels out there...

do people actually think that when you pay an additional $40, all you get are those 6 new channels? ALL THE PREMIUM CHANNELS ARE INCLUDED FOLKS!!! I agree, those 6 new ones should have been given to everyone, since there is nothhing "premium" about them...
