    VOOM "Shutdown" schedule anyone?

    So for me it will be 9:01pm on April 29 - blue screen. :no At least I wont have to stay up till midnight to watch it go away. I think I will be in shock for a while after seeing it happen.

    How many out there.......

    I got cox cable back. Do we know if Voom will continue through the end of the day on the 30th? Like midnight on the 30th and no more signal.

    I am going with Cable, what about you.

    Re-Subed to Cox yesterday. Their HD line-up is as follows. Discovery HD Theater TM ESPN HD INHD 1 INHD 2 HBO HD Cinemax HD Showtime HD Starz! HD CBS HD PBS HD ABC HD NBC HD FOX HD Pretty pathetic in comparison but better than nothing.

    Starship Troopers!!

    No. Caddyshack II is the dumbest movie every made. And if you like SciFi you would love Starship TROOPERS, not Troppers. :D

    Starship Troopers!!

    Was watching it last night on SHOHD. First, I absolutely love that movie. Second, it was one of the best PQ movies I've ever seen from Voom on my Panny. I must have said "look at that!!" to myself a dozen time. Then I kept saying to myself I cant believe we're loosing this. I hope whatever I end...

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

    Maybe all the CSR's are told to say positive things to keep people from not paying their last bill.

    VOOM ........ Revamp your marketing scheme.

    They dont get ANY exposure at Sears! I was there looking for it and found a tiny little display over in the corner on the bottom shelf not even near any monitors with dust all over it. All it said is ask about our installation package and it was so outdated it still had the original installation...

    VOOM ........ Revamp your marketing scheme.

    That's why they need to have it displayed in a store where lots of people will see not only what HD looks like but will also see the source. Thats how I got into HD was by seeing it at Circuit City or some store like that. Voom wasnt around back then but if it was I would have sub'd to it at the...

    VOOM ........ Revamp your marketing scheme.

    That was a good post. I think added to that they should put the product on the shelf at WallMart and let people see it in operation on a calibrated monitor, buy it, take it home and if they can, install it themselves. I think thats why the other big 2 have so many sub's because its so easy to...

    My Caller ID appears to be working correctly now!

    Considering Voom, a little worried

    DirecTV has so many thousands of people subscribing and un-subscribing every day that they no longer care if you un-sub. They know that in your place 10 others will sub so it doesnt matter. And you wont hate voom. If they knew how to market their product they would be up there with the other 2...

    Considering Voom, a little worried

    Welcome to the forum. Your dish will probably face E/SE and low on the horizon. No DVR yet. Around in a year--??? Once you get it installed correctly you WILL like it. I like it alot. I have no problems with it except I wish the locals were on the sat instead of OTA but I still get...

    My Theory For Why The Program Planner Misfires!

    That is why I dont even bother using it. Even if it were adjustable, if they cant keep the time correct it wont be any good. I only record two shows during the day and they are on locals which I have on cable going into the DVD recorder. All of the timer settings are stored on the disc and not...

    Voom, Installs Inc. & Digital Entertainment Plus

    Yepp, that's a bad thing. Lucky your still alive. I go up about 20 feet to reach mine and have nothing but concrete directly below me. I had an escape plan though. I thought to myself if I start to fall, try to make a leap for the pool. But it's behind me so I'd probably hit the edge instead of...

    Trouble with Voom's website

    I paid my bill there last night. Worked fine.

    CRT vs LCD vs DLP vs Plasma on Voom

    I have a 52" rp HD Toshiba 4:3 downstairs and a 50" LC Panasonic upstairs. They both have great PQ but the Toshiba automatically stretches all HD content and there's nothing I can do about it. That gives it a slight grainy picture. The panny does edge out the Toshiba with the DVI input not to...

    Voom, Installs Inc. & Digital Entertainment Plus

    Do you have access to your dish? Mine was working great till one day--no signal--so I looked up at my dish and it had blown off course. I got up there, realigned and tightened down all of the finger tight bolts the installer left and all is well. I knew it would take over a week for Voom to get...

    Goodbye to Voom (long)

    I agree. Aside from my dish coming loose and needing realignment, which I did myself, I couldnt be happier with the service. Havnt had to call anyone since I've had it and I never get lock-ups. I do wish the caller ID would work.

    A theory about some installers.

    My install went very well. The guy was wearing a Direc tshirt and said he was a loyal DTV installer. He started bad mouthing Voom but when he left everything was working. Then a week and a half later it was very windy one night and I lost all signal. The dish was pointing almost into the ground...

    Is Voom Even Listening About Lousy Installs?

    With D* you can buy a STB and dish from Ebay for almost nothing and install it yourself and call them up and they will activate you. I'm not sure but I think you can still walk into Walmart and buy a D* system off the shelf and install and activate. I did it a couple years ago. Twice. If Voom...
