I have two memos on my PC that were sent out to VOOM employees. Do not know if I should post them or not but I am reading them now.
Voom can be closed down in 30 days. Is it really dead this time?

If VOOM isn't dead I would guess it is the programming and channels they are talking about. CVC will probably try and use the VOOM brand to sell it as a channel or channels to other providers like Comcast or DirecTV or Time Warner Cable. It will probably be like another HDNet or INHD type of situation.
CVC can still monetize this asset.

Voom HD LLC is the new company that signed the letter of intent to buy Rainbow DBS from Cablevision. All of the facts in the press release are accurate.kex63 said:

Voom Customer Service
I love it, I have a special circumstance, where i have a contract with voom to recieve 6 months of free service due to services that where performed for Voom. After reading that press release, i wanted to call Voom to see what was going to happen to the months of service that I will be unable to recieve after the service has shut down. According to them, they are not going to be bringing down the Voom service, and the proceeded to read a press release from february 10th, stating that a letter of intent was filed by charles dolan to aquire the assets yada yada ya ya we've all read it. So then i proceed to ask, ok what about the press release that was issued by Cablevision today, stating that an agreement between CVC and Voom HD LLC, was not reached, and that today was the deadline for the letter of intent. Obviously they had heard nothing from this press release. While on the phone one of the customer service reps mentioned, hold on, a new release is coming through right now, and it has the exact same wording as the press release on february 10th, stating that a letter of intent has been filed by charles dolan, etc etc. LOL
Can i please have another ride on the voom rollercoaster?
just for the hell ofit, i proceeded to ask about the channel rollout tomorrow, and was told that they were never given a release date. They are told sometime in march, but haven't been given the exact date. Ummm, how many customer service reps have said march 1st to me and everyone else? 100000000000000000000000
i realize that the customer services reps don't know sh*t, but i still must vent, how any company the size of cablevision can make these decisions, make press releases, without notifying the people who are taking the calls from customers is beyond me. I guess 26,000 is to small of a number to worry about. God for bid we actually get a company that looks at what it is actually doing to its customers, how few they are, instead of thinking in $$$. This is the problem with corporations. There's no humanity, only $$$
i'm still not leaving till i get something in the mail from voom, and my signal is no longer giving me a picture, since i'm only paying equipment rental costs, but f**k it pisses me off.
god i wish cablevision would update there page with this press release then i can call yet again, and when asked where i see this from, I can say "the f**king cablevision website"

Maybe this is all hardball tactics. Some major arm twisting between billionaires. Anybody think of that?
Sean, can you summarize the two VOOM memos you got??
Some way to generically spill the contents without divulging anything too private?

If sean's got hope then maybe we should too.

I'm so proud of you

The 1st time we heard VOOM was dying, the rumor lasted ~1 month. This time it only lasted ~1 hour.
