    Voom's Dead

    Sorry Darrell, don't agree with you. Voomin was not just watching the 21 originals. You will now have 10, better than nothing. But it isn't Vooming unfortunately. Just 10 channels Voom was also carrying.... And I will miss your Voom posts!!

    Voom on Dish isn't Voom

    I am very sorry and don't understand the excitement of Voom21 on Dish Network. It's just not the same. Some of the SD channels on Voom looked much better. Examples were WE, Fox Soccer Channel. Then there were SD channels that are not on Dish. CNN International and ESPN Desportes by...

    Who's staying up until Zero hour tonight?

    I will try. Haven't planned anything, bu my 2 little ones took the energy out of me. But I will try with a few Heinny's around. It will be a sad, sad night. I already had E* (in addition to Voom) but my heart was with Voom. And I just wish that they would have made it as a full service provider...

    Marathon Voom (IN) !!! 4/30 Till RAINBOW1 GOES OUT!

    in a way, Grundig had to. Philips decided no longer to go with v2000. And, as you know, it was a co-development effort. Later Philips stated they're biggest mistake was to underestimate the importance of the video rental market (I don't remember if there were even titels available, but if so...

    Marathon Voom (IN) !!! 4/30 Till RAINBOW1 GOES OUT!

    T2k, I am surprised you mention V2000. Was this even launched in the US? It for sure was the best format out there.

    VOOM "Shutdown" schedule anyone?

    Scott, are you still planning a 'farewell Voom and see grownups cry' chat during Vooms last hours Friday night, Saturday morning? (BYOB?)

    How many out there.......

    Still have Dish for SD only for no reason other than never cancelled and till a few month ago, Noggin for the kids. Will I get their HD package? Nope, capital N and exclamation mark. Didn't watch HD channels outside the Voom21 enough to justify their newer HD receiver, even the cheaper one...

    Too Late...

    Similar story happened to me Sunday night. After mowing the yard, was talking to my neighbor. He wanted to switch to Voom, due to the fact he was buying a new HDTV. Currently he had E*, but heard great things about Voom and had seen the infomercials. And was asking me on how to get it. So, I had...

    Common sense says VOOM/HD Select is not dead!

    I think you are speaking with your heart. Fact is that Voom will shutdown April 30. This is confirmed by the SEC filing, Voom Customer Service and the website. All other is speculation!!

    C. Dolan Fork up another $10mil and refund bow ownere

    You're not the only one, trust me. I am disappointed in the shutdown, too. And yes, most of the frequent visitors know you loved and praised Voom. That's why your initial post surprised me.

    C. Dolan Fork up another $10mil and refund bow ownere

    Ken, that is just a little low. You bought the box, didn't take their offer for the credit back and conversion to the lease plan. So, now you're blaming them? And it's not April 30 yet. Maybe they surprise us, as boxowners with a partial refund. CVC will have to book large write-offs. A...

    Same Story As Last Month

    So, because he fought but unfortunately lost teh battle, he screwed us? He didn't. He just tried but you can only try so many times and sometimes you just have to give in. Maybe not the happiest moment for him either, but sometimes the only 'wise' choice you can make.

    What happens to us customers?

    In the early days, november and december 2003, that wasn't an option. But you don't hear me complaining about it. Bought my box, but as others stated, it's a risk you take. A calculated one, but a risk. But I had a great time using it, watching Voom, once I got a replacement box. It was a...

    Wgn?????

    Do you have any info that you can share on what other channels were/are being uplinked and not shown? And were all channels already duplicated on AMC-6 that you know of?

    I guess not even E* is safe from HD Lite

    They really have to do better than that to get my money. If that's in addition to what they have, sorry but OTA will be enough. I really will miss Voom21 and if they are not bringing on some of them, they can forget me subscribing to their HD tier. I still have their AT150 or whatever it is...

    Voom's PQ Is Lousy

    Guuter, you're right. Last night it really looked very good. Much better then it was for the last 2, 3 months.

    If you cancel VOOM please post here

    Sorry to spill all your fun, but I just upgraded to VaVaVoom. Got the 2 month VaVaVoom for free (of course till the end of April). So watching all channels for rmy old price.

    Just got a call from Voom in which I was told Voom won't end at the end of the month.

    Nothing different as in the redirect of the website. Did I talk about the board meeting? short answer: No! Just read the post and look at the context before you comment.

    my schedule installation is next wed, what should i do now?

    Are you talking the $1.00 commitment? If so, just do it, if they will install. Worst you will be out is $1.00 plus a month of programming. And not even the month, you will get programming for as long as it last. And if vOom will go dark, you will not need to pay for service. That's how simple it is.

    Just got a call from Voom in which I was told Voom won't end at the end of the month.

    Voomllc was redirecting since the on-off episode in february. Nothing changed. So, don't read anything into that. Nothing different as a month ago. It always was redirecting after the Chuck-Jimmy 'website' fight.

    Don't bother calling VOOM

    I am not sure if one customer leaving will make or break voom. But the 'no DVR', no 'RSN' is getting old. If you really can't wait, you just have to switch to another provider. You know that when you sign up. And for broken promises, had Directv, had Dish, and not often one kept their promises...
