I have a purchased receiver that is warranted to work for another 9 months. Do you think VOOM will give me my money back if the service stops?

Technically the receiver still works. LOL

The other day while watching American chopper they took the Expedition and were running over stuff with it, and I thought too bad I don't have to some to run over. Well I guess now I do? That's about all it'll be good for...lol

I called VOOM earlier this morning and they said they were not even shutting down. Maybe I will try again later.
 
I just got off the phone and the csr said they were shutting down. They also said because I bought the boxes, I am stuck with them.

Maybe I some artist would want to make something out of them. They were the wave of the future.
 
the antenna and the dish stay unless you ask to have them removed! they give you these because they dont want to repair your roof! this is from a csr
 
So if those who bought the system don't get a refund, do those who rented theirs get to keep it too. No that it really makes any difference, unless the OTA still works.

Also wonder if it would be compatible with the Dish system once Dish starts using Rainbow 1.
 
I'm also calling for info... if they say I am stuck with them with no refund, I will sue Cablevision. It's not an idle threat. The legal precedent already exists. And frankly I'm sure I would not be the only one.

Ok... just talked with a CSR (*sigh*). He said they had been provided absolutely NO information about what box owners should expect, and that he had heard something would be coming down in the next couple days on it but wasn't sure what it would be. He said to give it 2-3 days and then call back. So while I remain annoyed, I will have a small amount of hope that they do the right thing by us.
 
Many cable companies will give you $400-$500 for a box if you switch.

No need tell me hell with cable! It's might be a viable option for some...

Dig up the precedent, post it here for scrutiny. Sounds completely far-fetched. A warranty on a piece of electronic equipment is for the hardware - are you claiming that there is an implied guarantee for the continuation of a broadcast? That's nuts!
 

Voom goes dark!!! (And comes back)

Channel 207 not working?
