New advertising or there might be hope for VOOM!

[SeattleVoomer1]

Received Nov/Dec issue of The Perfect Vision yesterday which included a "center fold" (read: insert) with a VOOM "interactive CD" which introduces potential customers (and current VOOM subscribers) to the wonders of VOOM and directs one to their website to sign up, of course. Hey, they are reaching out. Now if only they would get out of Sears and into independent and big box shops maybe, just maybe they can grow the customer base they so despertly need.

Includes a page and a third ad on each side of the insert. There are several references to VOOM in th mag as well including "VOOMing It Up Here, Boss" which states: "HD movies are here, now--in abundance. All you've got to do to see 'em is call you local VOOM satellite-service provider." Hmm..."local satellite-service provider"?

GIll, you still don't have a bigger dish? What's the holdup?

Hey, Darrell, don't know what the holdup is.

About 2 months ago we were told we were in the "right zipcode" for an "automatic" update. We've been spending most of our time with VOOM's techs on our inability to get our PBS 9-5 HD.

Do you have a 24" antenna?

Still watching HDTV (except 9-5) under cloudy Seattle skies, Gill

P.S.: Nice area down in Woodburn. Have been thinking about retiring somewhere around Eugene.

Sorry to hear about the holdup Gill. Yeah, I have a 24" dish, I installed it myself for my Dish programming and used it for Voom since Dish moved their HD to the 110 satellite.

Keep bugging them, you'll need the bigger dish now that the wet season is here.
