    Idea: DVR Early Sign-Up

    Voom didn't give you DVR, Dish Network did!

    For what it's worth...

    Since the transition to E*, I really haven't seen the overwelming endorsment that I thought I would for the Voom channels. Guess everyone is realizing that those channels are cool for about 7 minutes then you want something with some real content on them. Sorry, but I'm starting to think...

    I wondered why Voom Died, Now I know!

    Everything I heard from this site said it was business as usual at the Voom channels, so I don't see the transition as an anomaly. Repetative on movie channels I can see like the same movie a few nights in a row, but not every 2 hours. As to the comment on Universal HD, I would love to see...

    I wondered why Voom Died, Now I know!

    I've been following the Voom saga for quite some time now. I previously made a lot of negative comments without much basis behind them. Now that I've been a Voom Customer for a few days now - on E* of course - I understand why Voom died as a DBS provider. I now also understand why there...

    Maybe they meant 10 years behind in subscribers?

    VOOM owes me $58.16

    Couldn't care less if they owed you $5800.

    26000 In September But,,,,,,

    Regardless of the number of subs, it doesn't make much sense for E* to pick up the remaining subs. Better off just letting Voom shut them off and wait for the 50% that pick them over D*. On a side note, other than the 50 or so VERY vocal Voom subs here, what percentage of Voomers do you...

    I've heard that it's less than 26,000 by now.

    So what should I do with my Sat provider?

    I'm not sure they know how to tell 26,000 people that there TV is going dark. Imagine causing 26,000 people calling at the same time to yell at you. Imagine preparing your CRS's to handle the outrage. You think it was hard to get a CRS before!

    Just having trouble understanding why the last 3 months of hype were not lies!

    I'm having trouble understanding why there are so many of you that think Voom should continue losing money to keep few people watching TV.

    I Have a Replacement STB Coming Monday

    DarrelP- Don't reduce your screen size. Be proud that you have a bigger screen than 99% percent of the people out there. Although you trump me, (92"), I wouldn't give up any of it. If you're not happy with the picture, that's all that matters. Voom won't be around that much longer anyway...

    I Found The Secret To My Short Guide Data

    If it is like all the other satellite services, the guide is only spooled on one transponder. To get the guide, the box has to tune to that transponder. While your box is on, it can't get the new guide so it ages away.

    Voom Sink or Swim

    SonicRob - Does the period key work on your keyboard? I feel like I have to take a huge breath before I read your posts just to get through the tremendous run-on sentences you post!

    Voom Sink or Swim

    While my modest 92" screen isn't quite as big as DarrllP's, I have to agree with him. It really bugs me to see video that isn't as good as it could be because of overcompression and low bandwidth(sat) or a poor transfer(dvd). To me it looks like the trend in HD tv's is they keep getting bigger.

    Voom Sink or Swim

    When HD is done correctly, it will look good no matter the screen size. Sounds like you have screen envy. :p

    Will Voom Survive?

    Almost everyone posting here is willing to ride it out as long as it lasts. I commend you for that. But honestly, look at it as if it were your money backing Voom. Would you keep throwing money down a bottomless pit? Doesn't it bother you that as an individual you are able to be heard? I've...

    Did Voom damage or help the HD future?

    I'd have to agree. Most people I've ever asked have never heard of Voom. A couple of the funnier replies have been "What's Zoom?" :haha
