[VOOM] Voom Help with Phoneline

The reason one would need a phoneline connected to the back of the
DSR550 IRD unit would be because Voom is incapable of building
quality products that don't freeze or glitch during software
downloads without the phoneline plugged into the back of the box.

Their customer service department is specifically instructed to
basically shade that fact by telling the customer who may call and
ask this question that the phone line is simply needed for ordering
pay-per-view and receiving new channel upgrades: unfortunately this
is not the case!

The Motorola DSR550 was built as a rush mechanism (which is why they
have released 2 different sets of the same model; neither of which
work well) in order to launch Voom and the product. This cheap IRD
unit is not worth the $499 they ask for as a purchase price (where it
used to be $749!), and the expected release of the DSR580 is how Voom
expects to dig themselves out of the faulty-box-grave.

Because of this reason, the IRD needs to have the phone-line plugged
into the back of the box in order for it to function properly; if a
customer is experiencing having their box freeze periodically (or
frequently) it is most likely because the box is not doing the report-
back nightly like it has to, via the phone line.

Poor Cablevision! Voom is a company that is averaging 200
cancellations every day because they refuse to fix their contract
with Installs Inc. and because their equipment is lacking sturdiness
and durability that is expected. I've had the pleasure of working for
them since their launch date back on Oct. 1st 2003 and have stuck
around simply to see if the company will, in fact, flounder on it's
belly.

If you have questions, ask! I am more than happy to guide any
customer to the TRUTH about Voom, and their HD evolution!

If you're so willing to enlighten us all with your version of The Truth, why

Tee Hee... Why do you post such a nonsense? Do you are going to convince anybody with the type of nonsense that you wrote?
 
[VOOM] Re: Voom Help with Phoneline

Jeffery is right on. I have had VOOM since early December, 2003.
My experience has been excellent. VOOM replaced the initial
receiver due to the previously reported problems and I added another
receiver in January when the first one was replaced. Both
receivers, since then, have been connected to a land line. I have
not needed to reboot either receiver since then. No problems, good
service and excellent info from CSRs and VOOM management.

I may just be lucky.

VOOM....Fire him....but fix the box too. I don't think it as bad as was said. I have a phone line plugged in and still get freezes. But that is a Motorola product. That I can agree with him on. But his venom on VOOM is way overdone.
 
RE: [VOOM] Voom Help with Phoneline

Okay ya'all, let's all say this together ...

"D i s g r u n t l e d - - E m p l o y e e", and a cowardice one at that.
If you have something to say and can stand up for what you say, write your
real name.

But of course you won't .. you're just a loser. Sucks to be you, huh?

RE: [VOOM] Voom Help with Phoneline

Tee hee,



Something about your post does not make sense. The report-back telephone
number is currently disconnected. No VOOM STB is currently capable of
contacting VOOM at any time..much less nightly.



So how is VOOM correcting STB problems via a phone number that is
inoperable?



Safari

"if a customer is experiencing having their box freeze periodically (or

I had my Voom installed 7/19/04. I asked about the phone line. The installer said he never hooks it up. So far, it's not a problem
 
Don't worry about it. At this time there is not need for the box to
call out
