    Penalty for early cancellation?

    I’m keeping Voom til the lights go out. No, CSR has stated that no penalties would be applied if you canceled at this point. But why would you want to cancel early? :confused: Just enjoy Voom until the lights go out, and chances are you wont even be charged for this last month. Personally...

    va va voom upgrade

    VaVa Voomin til the end... I was able to upgrade to the full package earlier today and have been enjoying VaVaVoom and Playboy all day, and to top things off, I got an e-mail from voom stating that I will not be billed for service for this month. So not only will I have the full Voom...

    May 1st where will you be? Dish, Cable or DirecTV?

    VaVaVoomin’ til the end… I just did… And now I’m VaVaVoomin’… And all locked in at the grandfathered rate, as stated by the CSR. The funny thing is that the CSR mentioned the six-month commitment and early termination charge. And when I asked about the Web Sit and the “shutdown notice”...

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

    A small hope… Reports are coming in all over the forum about Voom CSR claiming that everything is business as usual and NOT to consider the Web Site just yet. They keep stressing a Transitional Period! I have an upgrade scheduled for this Tuesday and CS assured me that it would take place...

    Who Will Own Rainbow-1 after FCC Rules on Sale of Rainbow DBS Licenses?

    Funny Option... Glad to see I was NOT the only one who wanted to see the fireworks display when the meteor destroys the satellite. :D

    VOOM. FIrst impressions

    Welcome aboard. Although the PQ seems to be improving, it does vary from one channel to another and even from one day to the next, so keep watching for a few more days before making your final determination. :) Amen to that. :D :D P.S. Welcome to Voom and to the Forum. :wave

    why I cancelled VaVaVoom

    Nice show of support... Yah, but all that wax from the candles might get a bit messy, and I don't think you could get caller ID to work with the cans and a string? elocs's main reason to cut back was to spend more time with his daughter and spend less time in front of a TV. I think he should...

    Poll: What Screen Size do Voom customers prefer?

    Funny you should ask... dankgus, If the poll QUESTION was NOT (what screen size do you watch?), then just like you pointed out, you’d vote for a 60+ screen, and I think you’d be in the majority. We would end up with a lopsided poll, with 100% of the votes for *over 60* defeating the purpose...

    why I cancelled VaVaVoom

    elocs, we have something in common. I’m an avid cyclist and have been steadily increasing my ridding over the past couple of years to my current rate of about 3500 miles a year. I applaud you in your decision to cut back on television and setting an example for your daughter. Anything taken...

    why I cancelled VaVaVoom

    Good Luck... elocs, it sounds like you are trying to convince yourself that you made the right decision, more than trying to inform us about it. Looks like you have been struggling with the TV, trying to take back your life for some time, and finally took the first step, although a small one...

    So Where Do We Stand Now?

    Keep up the good work… This forum is not a spelling or grammar contest, and as long as you can get your point across, that is all that matters. And you do a great job of getting your point across and making yourself understood, so you’re right, it’s not that bad at all… ;) P.S. I have an...

    Poll: What Screen Size do Voom customers prefer?

    Interesting results so far… In doing the research for the poll options, originally I was not going to include an option for HD in the 4:3 Aspect Ratio. I though HD implied “widescreen” and figured the option would be wasted. But to my surprise, a few members actually use Voom with a 4:3 HD TV...

    Poll: What Screen Size do Voom customers prefer?

    Since its been an eternity since we had a poll around here, (at least three days :)) I figured I’d start one that would give us an idea on what the average “screen size” Voom customers prefer? I’m not too concerned with the type of screen. (projection, plasma, LCD, etc.) Perhaps if interested...

    Vava Vroom

    And just imagine how much more amazing it will be when we get it back to the level it was before all the complaining started. :) That’s why there is so much disagreement concerning PQ lately, because once you see the True HD we used to have first hand, you simply can’t go back. :no

    is it safe to sign up voom now or should I wait until 4/1?

    Go for it... smallghost, you have nothing to loose. Even if you called today, your install date will be well beyond the 4/1 deadlines, so you would be safe in that regard. ;) Voom did make an official announcement (sort of) to some of its members. A letter was sent out promoting the...

    Dividing Lines… The true PQ controversy... Most of the disagreement regarding PQ, stems from the fact that new subscribers, especially those that have come aboard in the last couple of months, have not been exposed to the same level of HD that some of us longer term subscribers have. Second...

    What will you do if VOOM goes under?

    Just in case anyone was wondering… That sports bra is on pretty tight… I looked at it carefully and not once did anything come loose… As for the Voom question? I honestly don’t think Voom is going under, at least not in the next few weeks, so I’m not going to make any plans prematurely...

    New Pricing options please! Stop the madness

    I must have missed the announcement. richard_rd, your post is the first time I have heard about an increase in rates, and I was wondering as to how Voom made this announcement to its customers? Was a notice mailed out or include in one of our bills or posted on the Voom web site? Please...

    New Pricing options please! Stop the madness

    Been burned a few times? Well considering that the new channels are not slated for any package or tier, at least in the near future (according to the CSR), the pricing issue is a mute point. That being said however, I don’t think the CSR would make such a statement about pricing if it...

    New Pricing options please! Stop the madness

    Curiosity killed the cat… I guess I’m a curious type of guy. I called Voom and asked if adding any of the current packages being offered on the web site would change my current basic price from the $39 and was told by the CSR that as long as an individual package was added my basic rate...

    New Pricing options please! Stop the madness

    I guess we will find out if and when the new channels are offered independently of VaVaVoom. If a new tier is created, then the pricing increase can easily be worked into the cost of the new tier, but if they are offered as a package at a fixed amount, (say $10/month for XYZ) then I would...

    New Pricing options please! Stop the madness

    My Two Cents… My personal experience with other companies has been that although they do raise prices to cover added cost, fees, etc., these increases are fixed amounts assessed to all customers and NOT a change to your pricing plan, unless you call to request an upgrade of some sort. This...
