    Another rabbit in C. Dolan's hat?

    I don't think something is brewing...I wish it was. If something was in the works...all of this shut down stuff could be explained by Cablevision's desire to avoid lawsuits...from stockholders and Echostar. Part of Dolan's deal with Cablevision may have required that he have a gag order...

    Another rabbit in C. Dolan's hat?

    I wish he did have a rabbit somewhere....it seems unlikely...I think it has gone too far. I have signed up with basic cable just to see how things shake out. I'm not going to sign a long term contract with Dish or DirecTv until they change their stance on HDTV. I would suspect if we hear...

    I was hoping VOOM was different...but they aint!!

    Let's see, you're past due and you want free service. That makes a lot of sense. For 3 months you didn't know that your credit card wasn't being charged? It sounds like you thought you'd be able to get by without paying. If you're for real, you're part of the reason Voom went bust. 40% of...

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

    Unfortunately, neither Dish or DirecTv have enough HD content to justify the equipment cost....plus there is that whole pesky switch to MGEG4 which will render most (if not all) of the existing receivers obsolete. Cable seems to be a safer haven right now...Cox serves my area and their HD DVR...

    If you cancel VOOM please post here

    I don't know whether to pull the trigger and go ahead and get Dish or Direct. Neither is really an attractive option. I already have a Dish HD Receiver (6000) but would like a 942 or 921..that's $549 or a lease. Direct wants $299 for the HD received and $999 for the HD PVR. neither has the...

    Rumor: VOOM/Echostar Deal?

    I thought it was already reported that Charles left Charlie's house without a deal in hand and that no deal would/could be made because Charlie was standing firm that he didn't need Voom or anything associated with Voom except for the bird?

    Is VOOM really worth the money?

    Get the VaVa Voom package...with the recent addition of the SD channels....Voom is an attractive buy. I left Dish and the only issues for me are 1) crude guide 2) no dvr and 3)no Superstations

    Billed for my Voom Install Today

    Yes, I dropped Dish earlier this week. If Voom fails, I'll get DirecTv. I was a Dish Customer since Dec 1996...Charlie ran me off with his attitude towards HD and new channels in general. I like Voom but I miss my DVR and Superstations package.

    Vava Vroom

    As a new Voom customer (as of yesterday)...I do have to admit that the pq is disappointing. I can say with certainty that the pq of the SD channels is primarily less than that of Dish. I would also say that Discovery HD pq is better on Dish than Voom.

    Voom Finally Installed Today in Eastern NC

    Forgot to mention...the installer told me that he is doing 10-15 installs for Voom each week in just his 80 mile service area....I think that's pretty encouraging.

    Voom Finally Installed Today in Eastern NC

    After a couple of missed installs by the original installer, I finally had my Voom installed today. The installer (a contractor for Structure Wiring out of Wilmington) did an excellent job and was very accomodating. The basic antenna allows me to receive ABC, CBS, NBC, PAX, and UPN...

    I think Voom is in a great position to grow fast

    They're going to have to do better with installs if they want new customers

    I think Voom is in a great position to grow fast

    I think the key for mass acceptance (or at least greater acceptance) is to be a one stop viewing shop. I think it will be hard to convince people that they need cable or Dish or DirecTv AND VOOM. My installation is scheduled for tomorrow. With the recent channel additions, if VOOM is able to...
