we have been in contact with our rep. they said hold off on all sales and installations we are in a hold pattern with anything with voom. they are getting back with us later on in the day. However all the retailers not being released from service. She also said there are many changes coming and the service for new customers and old customers will not change.... I hope Chuck has something up his sleeve. but it sounds like it to me he does.. just wish i knew more..

Just called a CSR and asked her about what was on the website and she confirmed the news about the service being discontinued on the 30th...but the said something VERY strange...she said "KEEP CHECKING the website for more information on what to do about future service..."
...now WHY would she stressed that? and I do mean she stressed checking the website in the future....

This just in from HDNews channel.....
On HDNews they're reporting also that the Cablevision board voted to shutdown Voom last night. This must be serious this time because they didn't report on anything about this issue from February up until now. They also said that the company may consider to sell the programming as a package.

What to do, what to do? I am lost now .. but I do believe this is the end. I may just go with the TimeWarner digital/hi def package, it is no worse than the satellite providers .. at least you dont have to buy the hd dvr, they offer a lease option. It is a sad day .. but not unexpected.
Looks like i'm going back to Mediacom's lackluster HD. They also have a leasable dual tuner dvr with i-guide.
this has been like a death watch, i am kind of glad there is some resolution at least. i am a consumer, not a techie like a lot of you .. but i enjoyed this forum and all the work every one does immensly .. best wishes to you guys.
and to the person with the upside down longhorn: HOOK 'EM

What about the leased transponders?
What is to become of the leased transponders on AMC-6? Are they gonna be sold off to some programmer or could they be used to facilitate the 21 channels of Voom to allow for Cable and satellite access to the channels?

Just spoke to a CSR also, he stated that they received a memo today, the 8th, at 9am that stated they will actually be shutting down at the end of April and that no new orders are allowed. I tried to upgrade to Va Va and was told that they could not even do that at this point. He didnt say anything about a transitional period. When I asked him about that rumor, he said, "You know, its all just speculation. We have been seeing new channels added every week so we think something is happening, but there is no official word other than the shutdown memo"
I will remain hopeful, but I am honestly worried that I may loose my VoOm.

I think I am going to cry =(. I think now that reality has set in and it looks like the inevitable is going to happpen, when voom goes I think I am going to stop watching TV permanetely. I may go to the local sports bar to watch my sports or watch a movie on dvd, but that is it. I just cant picture going back to any other service.
everyone needs to get a grip, its not the end of the world! i too love vooms hd but im not gonna lose sleep over this! charles did his best, and i give him alot of credit. also i say thx for showing us the future of tv! you are truley a visionary!
Just want to add my two cents here. I think its real unfortunate that a couple of senile people over at Cable's LackofVision are causing this to happen. I hope there is some plan in the works, but don't have my hopes too high. Lets face it, Cablevision sucks! Well maybe Charles Dolan has a plan where he'll provide his exclusive 21 HD channels to both cable and satellite providers.
FYI:
SatelliteGuys has been notified this morning that VOOM will be closing on April 30.
We are also asked to remove VOOM ads, which Scott is going to do later today.
The shutdown process is under way...
