    1:20Am 2/01/2005 Voom is Dead? No.

    You confused them. Thats a big no no. They cant handle two things at the same time without disastrous results. If you want voom back, I'd pretend you were a completely different customer and get new service. If you try to get back on with explaining what has happened, they'll probably turn you...

    How's that PVR coming along?

    Its quantity, thats what I've learned. I dropped voom because of ongoing billing errors. Went to cable and have their hd dvr now, but I miss voom something awful. Cable has hdnet, hdnet movies, discovery hd, hbo-sho-strz hd, so thats like 6 or 7 hd channels. No east-west either, just one hd feed...

    Pro-Voomer Dropping Voom - Sadly

    Well I'm canceled. It will be interesting to see what they "think" I owe now. They will probably try yo bill me for the equip that is to be picked up tomorrow. The voom lady ask why I was leaving, I said messed up billings and still no dvr. She never said anything about my billings comment, but...

    Pro-Voomer Dropping Voom - Sadly

    "You are probably correct here, but at least cable can deliver on what I'm looking for. The HD DVR being the most important thing right now." That was it for me too, besides the billing mess, was now actually getting a HD DVR. THATS what I've been wanting ever since I got a HDtv. Directv HD...

    Pro-Voomer Dropping Voom - Sadly

    No troll here! You must be one of the lucky that hasn’t had a screwed up bill, and had to deal will vooms cs dept. If you did/had, you'd understand totally. As far as my math, I'm comparing mediacom to vooms massive over charge they bill me EACH MONTH!!! Like I said, I'm paying $177 for...

    Pro-Voomer Dropping Voom - Sadly

    I guess I've had it with voom billing. They have over charged me for the last 3 months by $60 each month. I went from basic voom to vavavoom a few months ago, and that seems to have completely confused voom's billing dept. They charge me $177 each month since I went to vavavoom. When I talk to...

    Is this True?

    I just wish they'd get my account right. Since I went from the basic package to vavavoom, they charge my card $162 each month. One for vavavoom and then also for the basic. I've called them 4 times, they see the error right away and say they will turn it over to billing (something like that)...

    Trying to cancel D* but they don't answer!

    Enough with "if" 's and "when" 's, I got Voom NOW!

    Dropping D* - Finally!

    I'm (still) convinced people like ZubinH don’t even own a hd tv set. Nor do any of the other "trolls". Maybe we could start a fund raiser, "HDtv sets for the trolls". And give them a free month of voom. You can't appreciate electricity if you don’t own a lamp.

    Dropping D* - Finally!

    I had D*'s hd package once and I wont call it hd-lite, I call it hd-nothing! So you got hbo and sho in hd, yawnnn. And all hdnet had on was stupid unknown sports talk shows, or reruns of the swim suit contest in Hawaii. Oh, and Discovery hd, maybe the most watch able channel. That’s it! Then...

    Dropping D* - Finally!

    Finally, that nasty D* contract has expired. Now I can drop D* and become an exclusive Voomer. I’ve ordered an second voom receiver (coming next week), and went to the vavavoom package a couple weeks ago (and it is great!). D* is like a annoying speck in the eye, with its awful PQ and all those...

    Lets just say, voom calls it quits, what happens?

    I'm just going by those forum posts back then. Satellite tv has certainly moved way ahead of cable tv. Our cable compny is choking here and if not for their highspeed internet, they'd be dead. Back then, there were many "the sky is falling" posts concerning D*, or people were afraid D* was going...

    Lets just say, voom calls it quits, what happens?

    All I know is I remember when the D* forum worried D* was doomed in its first years. And that Tivo was doomed after its first years. It took tivo a long time to catch on, but even Oprah and Ellen have tivo's now. I'm not worried about Voom's success. Even Wal-mart sells HDtv's now...

    New VA-VA-VOOMER!!!!

    Yea, and like if Bush wins, all the Domocrats will die and go away, or vice versa. Vooms a winner, they were smarter than D* as to HDtv, and they "do" have plans too. BTW, I'd highly recommend you get a standalone Tivo until vooms pvr comes thru. Tivo's are only like $50 (after rebates)...

    Direct Is Starting To Fight Back

    Voom wont die, neither will Dish or cable companies. They'll just have different cuts of the share. This sat tv business is here to stay and you cant say one guy will win and all the others will die. Some will like vooms offerings, some more sports so they'll do D*, and then some will even do...

    Mark Cuban says NO to VOOM again

    I once had D* hughes HD receiver & D*'s HD package. Hdnet was just worthless. I dont/havent missed it one bit. And the same with their movie channel. This whole subject is WAY over blown.

    Why stay with voom? Get HD DirecTV Tivo!

    Oh please! You cant compare D*'s, what, 4 or 5 HD channels compared to vooms massive selection all in HD. And I'm not even talking the vavavoom package, which is worth every cent. D* "may" add "some" HD channels, but most if not all will be sports themed. I'd rather have vooms commercial-free...

    Sweet talking Voom into vavavoom?

    Yes $89 + box does seem to cross the line. And they also now charge $199 to current voomers if they want a second box for install..."install???", "current customers???", just a little self destructing for voom in letting voomers get more out of the service. Almost like they are trying to...

    So what are the main stations Voom is missing in their programming?

    Dont get me wrong, I'm 100% voom. I also have D* (since 1997) and want very badly to drop D*, so I was checking to see what sd channels voom is missing. I will be dropping D* after that wonderful D* contract expires (on Sept 3rd), but since "I" could be happy as a lark with only vooms hd...

    So what are the main stations Voom is missing in their programming?

    So what are the main stations Voom is missing in their programming? I see Scifi isnt part of voom. What else, as far as sd channels (compared to D* programming)?

    Sweet talking Voom into vavavoom?

    The new pricing is definitely firm and voom cs wont budge. Voom cs did say that there was a short "grace period" for customers who came in on the “basic $0 upfront” package, where they could upgrade to vavavoom for the old promo price of $79. However, that was only during their "grace period"...

    Sweet talking Voom into vavavoom?

    I just finally called and the cs was hard headed. Just short direct answers: ME:I got voom at the promo price and could I get vavavoom at that promo price? CS: the promo ended, vavavoom is $89. ME: so theres no way I get get the older price if I go to vavavoom. CS: no! ME: will another...

    Sweet talking Voom into vavavoom?

    Speaking of DREAM LOVER, they redid the ending. Originally, it ended with him out of the loony ward, walking with his daughter. His daughter asks "what was mommy like", and he says "she was a wonderful woman" (something like that), then the movie ended. They now cut that last father/daughter...

    Sweet talking Voom into vavavoom?

    Too bad Voom ended their vavavoom $79.90 promo. Many (me at least) reluctantly got into VOom with their free-install promo and took the basic $39 promo package. Now that I am 100% sure I love voom and will keep it, I'd be willing to go to the vavavoom package. But now its $89.90 + the $9 rental...

    Hey! I'm not leaving!

    I love movies, I love HD, I love voom. Watching standard tv is very very painfull now. Like throwing away your CD player and going back to a 1960's am transistor radio. I want a voom pvr, but not having that would not make me drop voom. Some on the D* forum bought the new HD D* Tivo, for around...
