LUCKY....it's bad enough we all THINK this is the end...we really don't need ya to throw salt on a wound that started as a cut in February and grown into a gash in April....

Considering everything said and done since Feb. nothing short of fuzz on the screen will signal the death of Voom. However, I do wish the story would have said, will transfer, instead of shut down.
Now to watch every second of my Voom 21 before????

Do you think i will still be able to have my system installed which i am currently waiting on.TYORK said:
Exactly - both "official" news releases and their own website have proven wrong in the past. And this story is per a "source". I think my optimism finally turned to pesimism tonight, but after all that has gone on the last 3 months, no one outside of that board room can know anything for sure at this point (if even they know). If we see an official release, then my optimism will nearly vanish, but at this point we're speculating on a "source".txdude said:
If this experience has taught me anything, it's that things are not always what they seem.
Not trying to be overly optimistic, but why would Chuck and Tom vote for shutting Voom down? (it said unanimous)
The new channels, the website is still up, Scott's cryptic message (fwiw), no dealers notified. Anyone talk to a csr yet?
I must say that if Voom goes black, I will end up with less HD, but I will have my local sports, which Voom has been unable to provide.
I for one, am tired of the roller coaster. I will ride it until the end, but I will try to stay away from looking for news that will jerk me around.

Okay, with out going to far on anything. Yes there are changes happening in the world of VOom, but why don't you wait for the rest of the story.... the saga will continue tomorrow. A little birdie told me so
If the meeting was just tonight...I don't see how they could have notified anyone including installers, employees, etc.
I wish it looked better, but I will withhold judgment until we hear from Voom.
I do find it odd that Newsday is the only carrying this story so far.

Well normal busnesses would persue a shutdown in an orderly and managed way. The previous one was done with emotions involved so don't use that as having the same pattern.
If it is happening it is being worked on by lawyers and managerial consultants. CV is probably caculating timelines and preparing investor relations.

I wonder if we'll see a joint venture...with Voom selling Dish Network and Dish Network selling Voom...must like Dish's deal with SPRINT???
