I just don't see why people who claim to love HD and want more of it are so hell bent against VOOM. They are the ONLY provider who is providing this many HD channels and seem to be the most committed at adding more. There is no point in posting on every positive VOOM thread just to say a...

How can they let you keep it and still stay in business? It probably cost them $400 just to get my upgrade (four installer trips and antenna) and then they just let you keep it? I love VOOM but I don't see how they can do this and stay in business. The last guy who did my upgrade took my...

Yes, this is what I assumed. First the Olympics and now this, I think I need to move. kaw

Looks like two more channels I won't be able to get. Oh well. kaw

I have been wondering also what the de-installer will leave should I be forced to give up VOOM. The guy who did my antenna upgrade put up a fairly large antenna mounted on a 35' pole he put in the ground, I am wondering if they will go through the trouble to get that bad boy down. It would be...

Lets see who can come up with the best lie to tell VOOM. How 'bout I call up and say "Hey, when I signed up I accidentally gave you my billing address instead of my physical address where my service was installed. Anyway, I realized today when it said that I could not receive the Olympics the...

If VOOM bought that story then they are dumber than I thought :D . I guess it is a good way to get what you want but I think I would feel kinda bad making up a story like that. Anyway, I guess it is good to know it can be done, thanks for the info. kaw

This reminds me of why I left Dish Network. I signed up for a year and they said I could get a Dish PVR for $100. So I called back after a year or so had passed to turn my service off for a few months and they said they would send a box out for me to send my PVR back. I told them I bought it...

I don't know how well this would work with VOOM since moving your service would require a re-install by VOOM of your equipment. If you actually did move and they had to come out it would probably show up in your account notes. What I am saying is if you called and said you moved and it did not...

I guess I should have thought before I said antennaweb is completely wrong. It CAN be right for your area but alot of times it is not correct. The best thing to do would be check other sites as well such as the one mentioned in this thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=23635...

Antennaweb is not very accurate at all. It lists my address as being able to get one digital station, KTVE, that station is not even broadcasting digital yet. Ever since my antenna upgrade last week I am pulling in three ABC DT channels out of Shreveport (75 miles away) and sometimes CBS HD out...

Thanks for the heads up, I will do that. kaw

I would welcome the NBC-HD feed. My local station is KTVE out of Monroe/El Dorado (45 miles away) and they do not even broadcast their DT signal powerful enough to receive outside of their parking lot due to "financial reasons". Even when they do I doubt they will transmit HD. So I am stuck with...

I think it is safe to say no matter how many times we try to explain to people that NBC (more specifically local affiliates) is the problem they are going to continue to blame VOOM. As I mentioned in an earlier post, VOOM has no obligation to provide the olympics to ANYONE, they are doing it as...

People can say it is VOOM till they are blue in the face but the fact is NBC will not let you view it unless your local channel is owned by NBC. Do you really think VOOM would just screw half it's subscribers for the hell of it, they are following the guidelines layed down to them. If it was as...

Why does everyone keep blaming VOOM for all this olympic drama? VOOM is not NBC, they have no control over what NBC decides to do or broadcasts. If you are like me and your local NBC does not even broadcast in HD but they won't authorize VOOM to carry your market then we are just out of luck...

I don't think you can view it in HD on Dish and DirecTV for the same rules. I don't know this for sure but I believe it was posted earlier. kaw

I just spoke with VOOM, I will not be able to view the olympics on VOOM :( . Of course it is not VOOM's rule, anyone who's local affiliate is not owned by NBC will not be able to watch it.This is NBC's rule and as usual I am getting screwed because I live in a rural area. As I pointed out...

I have the channels listed also, I think everyone does, but the way I understand it is that if you do not live in one of the markets listed on the link that was provided, you will not receive the feed. I cannot say this as a fact but that is what it sounds like giving the information that has...

My opinion is that if you do not care about HD then that is part of the problem and not the solution. I have been fed this SD crap my whole life and I am tired of it. The sad part is until people start demanding more HD (which I know is easier said than done) the networks and local stations will...

Yeah, this kind of blows. I live in the Monroe/El Dorado market and I do not see myself on the list. The problem is our local NBC does not broadcast in HD so it is really a waste. I hate to be teased like this, lol. Last night I was looking at the program guide and it showed Leno in HD, I would...

Good luck, I am sorry VOOM did not work out for you. As for me, I will re-evaluate things on January 1st. I pay about $126 a month for VOOM now, which is more than I can really afford (especially when they freeze twice that each month in my checking account), but I really like where they are...

I think that is a very good point, it scares me sometimes when I see the media and their bias. I am glad VOOM is letting people see the information and form their own opinions, of course this really only applies to those who have not made up their minds yet. Thanks again VOOM. kaw

The way to sell VOOM is to get it in Wal-Mart. My local store just put in a large display of HDTV's (plasma, lcd, crt, projection). They now have an HD loop on them apparently made by Wal-Mart. I know it would never happen but I guarantee it would sell alot of TV's for Wal-Mart and add a bunch...

Well, something has to be causing the signal to fade, it should not be that bad with a signal that good. Maybe it is a bad box? Anyway, I guess it doesn't matter now, I am glad you found a good deal and hope that works out better for you. My cable company in Ruston (Cox) is the devil, they don't...
