    anyone pickup voom as a self install?

    I installed 3 of my 4 boxes. I will move the service myself when I get a new home, too. They can take that relocation installation service charge and try and figure out what to do with it.

    What is GRDVOOM?

    I have CHARTER Active on my account and I own the equipment. No GRNDVOOM listed. I also have FREMULT Active and I don't get charged for multiple boxes, which is nice, as I have 4 receivers.

    Rainbow Media May Have Financing Problems (VOOM)

    Voomvoom, InHD and HDNET can charge wahtever they want because they are not service providers. At least that would apply to HDNET. InHD might fall into that category because of their affiliation with many cable co's, but from what I gather, they are not shutting the door on DBS providers. Why...

    Rainbow Media May Have Financing Problems (VOOM)

    Just because Voom/Rainbow owns AMC doesn't mean it is guaranteed to get it first. Voom has room at the moment for 39 channels of HD. If they fill up, we will have to wait until October to add more channels. In that interim, I seriously doubt that Rainbow Media would turn down a reasonable offer...

    recent VOOM article in "Fortune" magazine

    That article was apparently written a couple months before it was published. I think they planned to "be able to offer 53 channels of HDTV" rather than they will have that much. At the current moment, there are not 16 more channels of HD for them to add now or in the next 6 months that we can...

    Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water

    rudolpht, the most cost effective Odyssee system is not the platform system, but rather their integrated units. Their new Odyssee 2.22Vi retails for $15,000 and includes the Controller, Actuators and two Fortress recliners. For a little more, you can get them in leather with motorized recline...

    Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water

    People keep going on and on about resolution. How about adding 3-D with polarized glasses and dual projectors so there is no color problems like the red/blue glasses and no flickering like with the LCD shutter glasses. Then add full motion simulation, a technology that is already here...

    New Sat Scheduled to Launch in Oct, x2 capacity

    Yes, because other satellite providers deliver as promised/speculated. Now, should I switch to Dish Network and get their PVR-921 to hook to my D-VHS deck via firewire and have their new Super Dish system, or should I switch to DirecTV and get their HD-TiVo, which should be in plentiful supply...

    New Sat Scheduled to Launch in Oct, x2 capacity

    Hey, a few degrees is HUGE when you are low on the horizon. The DirecTV triple LNB dish can get 101, 110 and 119. That is 18' of range. Grab a protractor and look at the horizon and compare. You will find that extra couple of degrees will add a lot of clearance. If I were Voom, I would move...
