After 2 cancellation of the installation on my VOOM and 3rd appointment that I got from VOOM Customer services that set the install date on Dec. 18th witch it last Saturday. than I decided to gave VOOM one more chance. On Friday the day before the install date I was waiting for the phone call the installer name ADANT Wireless Inc. for the confirmation on the installation. until 3PM no phone call was made and I decided to make a phone call to VOOM to make sure they will come to install the VOOM dish this time... they(VOOM) said they usually call if they can not make it.. if it is no call that's means they will come... I was so happy at that moment... I had to cancel my doctor appointment that on Saturday morning... just to wait for ADANT to come and install my dish...
4PM on Friday .... the bad news was started... ADANT called to cancel the installation with the same bull sh*t thing reasons... I not even said a word... just hang up and piss off as usual...
Called to Comcast to see if there is any special deal going on right now in my area and Yes the do! witch it very good deal right now... $49.99 for Platinum digital package for 1 year with no contract... plus Free new DVR/HDTV box up to 3 boxes(but I took 2) ... free Installation with next day installation. So I decided to take the offer from Comcast and set the appointment for next day witch it Saturday ...the guys from Comcast show up for Installation on next day as they promised and get it done within 2 hours.. now I had Comcast HDTV with HBO and Showtime for that price... F**k the VOOM... I am not even call VOOM to cancel the Service I'll let them wonder why my account is still on pending... I already canceled my Credit card account that I used to sign up with VOOM... and no way they can charge me for that ... if they(VOOM) call me for that I will tell them to keep their systems and s*** in their A**
All I have to do now just enjoy with my TV with Comcast HDTV witch it the quality is very good and all Digital Locals are in with no need to get the antenna or worry about the distance from the main antenna…no rain or snow problems…I can play with the DVR features on the Comcast box. Well BYE – BYE VOOM… I give VOOM 2 years the most before they will going down or sell to some one else if they not improve their services… So long ! Adios ! good bye DOOM!
By the way I am in Chicago area!

you better read to the Comcast website see where they are right now... Local HD in Chicago are in there and this one you don't need the Antena to get it... nice and clear in the snow and raining day! here is the list of Comcast HD that I have:parrothd said:Funny,
I just got my Voom service installed last week & cancled chicago Comcast. The voom installers cancled my first install and so I had to reschedule, plus Voom gave me a $25 credit. I called the installers several times to verify they were coming, the squeeky wheel definately gets the attention..
As for Comcast in chicago, it sucks, you only get a few HD channels(1 Hbo, 1 sho, 1 max in HD), and they don't carry all the local HD channels. With VOom I get all HD local stations, plus all the other 30+ channles in HD that comcast doesn't have....
Not to mention the COmcast guide/menu system drize you nutz, you can never find anything, and darn thing doesn't let you access the guide and watch tv at the same time...

I was thinking the same. I'm in Baltimore, and Comcast only offers a few Baltimore HD channels, and no DC HD Channels. I'ld loose the 'Skins in HD! Can't have that!!!
But my biggest beef with Comcast is the $65/month fee for *BASIC* cable. Ouch.

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
I went into the Tools menu and requested a Guide Update. I'll try looking at it after the update completes.
edit — I now have the 148-01 4KFox events for Saturday, but not anything for 148-02 or 148-03 which don't even show as available channels. I do have 148-04 4KUSA.
As I recall you have the Flex package. Do you sub to multisport? -02 is FS1 and -03 is ESPN. -01 is Fox so you would get that if you sub to locals.Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

For quite a while now, people with a VIP211k have been losing their recordings on their activated external HDDs... even when there's nothing physically wrong with HDD. I believe this is an intentional and underhanded tactic that Dish is pulling in an attempt to force users away from the VIP211k.
They are obviously regretting that they ever let users have a "non-dvr" dvr in the first place. You would think they would be happy charging you a $40 one time fee... and then be happy letting the customer be the one responsible for HDD failures.
Dish clearly hates the 211k bitter-clingers. This recording deletion problem is intentional (IMO), and I think it is just one more tool that they are using. Hopper and a 2-year agreement... that's what they want you to have. Think about that... a 2-year agreement... with a company $30 Billion in debt (that's with a B). What happens when all that debt causes them to drop the channel that may have been your whole reason for having Dish in the first place? Guess who's stuck with a service that no longer suits their needs... for the remainder of the 2-year agreement.
On top of that, they don't want you to install it yourself. I purchased and installed all my equipment myself. That used to be common. Now, they lie to me and tell me that my dish must be updated to use a Hopper. Funny thing is... they don't even know what dish I have because they didn't install it, and I didn't tell them. If you ask what type of dish/LNBs the hopper needs... good luck getting an answer. All they know is that whatever you have needs to be upgraded by an installer.
It is quite apparent to me that they care much more about staying in their box, than they do working with the customer. That's too bad, because it hasn't always been that way. It's like they are totally unaware of the current business environment that they are trying to compete in.
I have been a customer since 2010. I will be cancelling my service before the next period. Yeah, I know, my $1,200 a year won't make a difference to them. It just seems like they have forgotten who needs who, especially when you consider the competition in today's streaming world. But hey, they will have succeed in forcing me off the 211k.
