Considering upgrading to VaVa?

  • Server Issues.

    We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. As of 12:05 PM ET our provider has moved us to a new server.

    Things seem to be running better on this new server. However in trying to diagnose the issue (before finding out it was a hardware issue) we made some system changes which we need to undo. So if you find any issues or errors please let us know in the Operations Center Forum.

    Thank you for your patience! Sorry for the issue!

Hmmm... we need an extra option in that poll... 'Yeah, maybe, but I'm still waiting to see what happens'.

I don’t think Voom is currently charging for TAX. At lease in my area, so you can subtract the $14.97.

This is a state issue. Some states, I suppose, don't charge sales tax while others do. There are some that charge a DBS tax. Florida is one of them. We pay 7% sales and what amounts to about 5.55% DBS tax as well. Voom has correctly charged this since day one. Since it is based on the sales as a % then to figure cost differences one has to consider the total with tax.

I will add Va Va Voom based on what I posted. Sorry CharlieE., you lose! You offer no more than a #4 position for HDTV here. Even Comcast now has you beat!

When the DVR arrives, I will add that too and reduce E* to even less, whatever I can to just have the HDNet pack and my CBSHD waivered channel.

TV is just not worth that much money to me. Heck, it could all be HD and I would not pay it.


You Have a 9 ft diag hd screen and hd channels are not worth that much to you?


I also have a dlp projector on a 10 ft screen and love my hd tv. I find it a great value and i don't even watch that much tv. I have 250 hours on my projector in a little over a year.

BTW my favorite channel is equator hd. on a 10 foot wide screen is amazing. I am hooked. I do not even watch sd Anymore. (that is for the small tvs)

I upgraded to Vava just before the first set of new channels came out. I wouldn't upgrade to VaVa just for the new channels but if you look at what you get for the money, it really is a good value. Even if they do end up offering a middle tier (and I think they will), that tier plus one premium will end up costing about what VaVa does.

I went to VaVaVoom both to support Voom through hard times and to take my HDTV to it's full potential. It still feels crazy spending over $100/mo for TV but I'm happy with Voom.

Personally I like the Military channel. The Blue angels special was even cooler when it was shown on Discovery HD Theater in HD :).

No, they are not. I currently pay Voom $64/month for about 5 hours of TV/month, is that economical? Not to me. OTOH, I pay Dish $10/month and watch about 40 hours/month.

Even if Voom had PQ equal to HDNET, I would not pay them a dime more per month than I currently do, I just don't watch that much TV. :no I'd rather spend my money on other fun stuff, like taking my daughter to the Zoo or somewhere else cool. :yes

I know I'm blocked: " But get real you must have the worst equipment in the world to made such a statement : maybe you're screen is to large for any "HD" , How is you're Local's coming in?. and What channel does "E" have better ????."EDIT" I forgot to add, 5HRS, I watch over 100hrs of HD this month," HDNET, is on DTV, E, and all cable companies, maybe "VOOM" has the answer.
