    Attention VOOMers switching to cable!

    I have the 6412, and it is a bit hit or miss on the firewire out. Sometimes my JVC D-VHS will lock up and not show or record the firewire signal. I was all set to get the unit replaced when the "tech support" person mentioned something after setting up the service call. That was unplugging...

    Notes on buying a used VOOM box. At this time, only VOOM boxes that were activate and not deauthorized at the time of VOOM's demise can receive free OTA HDTV. The 8VSB module must be installed in the back of the unit to receive OTA HDTV. The module is a gray box with an edge connector on...

    ***** Big Big Changes for HD Cinema*****ALL MOVIES in OAR all the time

    Is VOOM selling subscriber data to direct marketers?

    I did opt out. I received the subscription come-on the very same day that I received my first VOOM bill. (Which incidentally did not include the credit for the Sears "kit.") When I called VOOM about the credit, and a service related issue, I asked about the direct marketing. The CSR...

    sears- package problem

    I did the Sears route because it helps out the local salespeople. Well, they had all the info, ie cert # etc. I received my 1st bill last week, and they did not credit me the $49.99. I called VOOM. The CSR looked through the system, found I was due the credit, and that the cert had not...
