[VOOM] Re: Why The Yahoo VOOM Forum Connection To VOOM Supported SATELLITEGUYS.US?

You're right... it's a conspiracy. Put on your tinfoil hat and pray to Zorgon that this time they mate you with something that doesn't have spines.

Good response. Voom is not some kind of global conglomerate that's out
to get anyone here. They are doing business like anyone else, and if
they advertise on the webforums, more power to them. My previous unsent
response to the original poster about how voom sucks because they don't
have a dvr was a little more to the point. Basically I wish they had a
dvr and am a little unhappy about it, but at the same time I bought into
this thing and I knew what I was getting. Asking how many times they
lied is a stupid question though. I guess if they announced something
and never produced it, you could call them liars, but the original
poster inferred kind of that voom was holding out their dvr for some
nefarious purpose and that's just frankly silly.

My second or maybe initial post to this forum raked voom over the coals
for other reasons which were somewhat tainted by my appreciation for the
TiVO interface, which I still feel strongly about. In this day and age
the guides these STB's have (Comcast, Voom, even DirecTV's non tivo
stuff) should be flexible enough to search for stuff in the future, and
the days of only 4/5 channels per a page because of crap video are kind
of over. I was especially disappointed in Voom, given their service is
touted as an almost boutique like HD service.

3 months into my Voom service, I have to admit it's grown on me. I
still dislike the guide and it's scrolling bugs, but I'm totally into
the content now. I spend a lot of time watching shows on Rush, and the
other channels. At first glance it seemed like it was mainly B movies,
and that is probably the best assessment of them, but there are jewels
in the ruft occaisionally, and given my scarce viewing time because of
work, I've not been bothered by the fact that shows are replayed on the
channels throughout the day, and in fact kind of appreciate that given
the lack of a DVR. I've also noticed that I don't watch any SD channels
anymore. Sure I make a point in watching Battlestar Galactica, but the
good stuff is on the HD channels.

I totally agree about the web forums as well. I know they are just a
means to get advertising dollars for the hosting provider, but I find
them difficult to navigate, search and basically slow. avsforums are
annoying as hell as well, but I've not spent any time to determine if I
can't get those via email.

Yup me. :)

Simple fact is some people like forums, others like email. We made the Yahoogroups available to SatelliteGuys members who did not like Yahoogroups cluttering up their mailboxes.

The SatelliteGuys Yahoo Gateway was online and running long before VOOM ever became and advertiser.

No matter which interface you like you can always stay on top of VOOM news and happenings.

Doesn't the term "conflict of interest" come to anybody's mind?

No.

Thank you Scott and I appreciate it. It is much easier coming here and seeing the newsgroups than running all over the Internet.
 
[VOOM] Darn you, Scott, you would come along and post...

the real reason for the tie to satguys. Now, no more speculation. And the # of postings
were up over the past day! Oh well, back to the truth. Hurts.

Still enjoying HDTV under increasingly cloudy (rain promised!) Seattle skies,

P.S.: The original accuser of VOOM virtually owning satelliteguys.us is no longer with us.
Sad but true.

To add further, by posting the Voomahoogroup postings over here you only to go to one source to see both postings. Ever heard of convenience?
 
[VOOM] Why The Yahoo VOOM Forum Connection To VOOM Supported SATELLITEGUYS.US?

So no takers on this question?

Why the Yahoo VOOM forum connection To VOOM Supported
SATELLITEGUYS.US?

I wonder what that means? hmmm.

One thing it does mean.
SatelliteGuys will have to put up with VOOMdayers until they stop
this silly combining of posts between the two. Guess they never
thought of that before now.

btw
Who is the REAL moderator of the Yahoo VOOM forum?
Could it be S.G.?

Re: [VOOM] Why The Yahoo VOOM Forum Connection To VOOM Supported SATELLITEGUYS.US?

Whitepintorider,
What kind of crap is this? Since your posts accomplish absolutely nothing
and they demonstrate your ignorance let me tell you that if you don't stop
these time wasting posts which I consider to be more worthless than spam, I
will remove you from the forum if you don't like it or think we have a
hidden agenda. I am a co-moderator and have absolutely no connection to the
Satelliteguys.us other than to occassionally visit their site to see what's
up over there.
This forum is so that people can discuss VOOM issues and take care of their
questions and that is what it will be used for. It will not be used for
personal gratification from running an ad-hoc and pointless political
campaign. Please refrain from postings that waste all of our time or expect
to be excused from this forum.

Re: [VOOM] Why The Yahoo VOOM Forum Connection To VOOM Supported SATELLITEGUYS.US?

Sorry, but as long as posts from this forum automatically go to VOOM supported SATELLITEGUYS.US then there is a connection.
Whether you actually visit SATELLITEGUYS.US or not is a mute point.

VOOM will start packing up its bags on April 1st, so this forum won't be around much longer anyway. IMO.
