Does any one have anything positive to say about Voom? All that I see is complaints. I am
thinking about unsubscribing to this forum. Did anyone bother to investage Voom before
they unsubscribed to the service. Lets find something positive to say and help Voom thru
their birth. We can be a force of good insted of negativity. Lets post question instead of
statment of how thing may suck. How can we get thing fixed should be the question.

complaints, complaints, complaints!!!!!!!!! how depressing.

Re: [VOOM] Re: Too many complaints

I am mostly very happy with VOOM, however I HAVE made a few comments that I would call constructive criticism instead of complaints. I, for one, really hope VOOM survives for the long term, agree with their concept and am delighted to have so much HDTV material. I just wish they wouldn't act so much like a cable tv company at times. Is that a complaint?

I quit VOOM but want it to succeed. It wasn't for me because I need
closed captioning on the HD channels, and it's not there yet.
That's a problem with the other HD providers too, unless it's OTA
locals. But I liked the customer support, and the picture was
fantastic.

[VOOM] Re: Too many complaints

Here is some positive feedback.

1) VOOM has the most HD anywhere
2) VOOM has the most HD variety anywhere
3) VOOM continues to get better every month
4) There is more variety on RAVE than ever before
5) There are great movies on the Cinema 10 channels
6) The "new" categorization of channels, i.e. FU, Pixel etc.. is
great
7) My kids really enjoyed the Flipper Marathon this week
8) Animania just got 3 more programs on it; kids couldn't be happier
9) Where else ca n you get 2 feeds of HBO, SHOTIME and Starz from a
single provider
10) What other provider gives you The Movie Channel in HD
11) What other provider gives you Encore in HD
12) What other company gives you all the programming for 79.95
13) What other provider has Wilt working for them

If VOOM fails, Sattelite TV will never be the same. There are tons
upon tons of good things about VOOM. I get A LOT of HD channels OTA.
I have Direct TV HD for NFL Ticket, HDnet, RSNs and the Outdoor
Channel. Other than HDnet VOOM's PQ is superior to that of Showtime
and HBO on DirectTV.

I think VOOM has made it through the technical issues; My system has
been totally stable for months now. This month will be 1 year with
VOOM for me and in just one year this company has pull through on
everything they promised.

I only have one complaint and that is I need Fox Sports Arizona in
HD and the Outdoor Channel.

VOOM is by far the BEST Sattelite provider for those who need HD in
their life. Adding just a a handful of channels and VOOM will become
the main choice for Satellite and Direct can be used for the extra
provider for Sports Packages.

[VOOM] Re: Too many complaints

I concur. Love Voom (and I was with D* for 10 years).

I think the issue is that complainers are always "louder" than the praisers. And those happy
with Voom are probably watching it, instead of sitting at their computer writing about
watching it.

Voom is freakin' great if you want lots of HD variety. The D* people are incredibly excited
about getting BravoHD and maybe TNTHD (next- maybe) and we've enjoyed both and
many (better?) HD channels not available on the other Satt providers for a long time.

I didn't buy an HDTV to watch SD. Voom is the only choice. I would hate to go back to any
provider that offers only a relatively few HD channels.

I hate to say this. However, I have had VOOM since May and I haven't had one, zero, nada problems. The signal is far better than *D.

The only thing I lack is some means for recording off of VOOM. I have a JVC HD30000 recorder and a company called 169time converted a Toshiba receiver so it could have a IEEE connection. This allows me to record off of *D. When VOOM gets their recorder I will have two pieces of equipment to sell and I will drop *D.

Go! VOOM!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.
