R.i.p Voom

[ROLLZROYCE]

You will be missed, I will have a drink in your memory

Bye for now, hopefully in a few years technology will finally catch up and be where you have been for years. A sad, sad day in the world of HDTV.

I think we should boycott SD programming.

Join with me and "Just Say NO to SD"

I WANT MY VOOM BACK!!!

I just signed up with Dish for the Voom10, so they do live on, at least partially. I am not yet receiving any programming though.

Voom lives on, hopefully when I wake up, I will have it on Dish.

Voom DBS is Dead. Long Live Voom Programming.

Voom's Final Moments

I ran out of gas and went to bed before finishing my death watch. It'll be interesting to see what developes. I had such high hopes back in January.

I went to bed at 1:30AM EDT (after unplugging the 3 stbs (just in case)). I just happened to wake up at 2:55AM and could not resist reconnecting the bed room TV to STB. Then watched HDN news (loop). Just before it went black, there was commercial for the Voom originals and I thought it would go black but then it went back to HDN news and a report (very old report) about trains.....then it went black. I switched to local channels and all was fine. (Except for no Voom )

I did just about the same thing.......

I didn't disconnect my cable, but I pulled out my smartcard. After tossing and turning for a while, I managed to look up at the clock and decided to make the best of my insomnia. I put my smartcard back in and watched HDNews. It was 2:00AM and no shut off, so I flipped around and flipped back just in time to see no signal at 2:01 CDST. I then proceeded to check my satellite signal meter and it showed 0% quality, but it does show 64 on signal strength. That could be microwave interference from a cell tower just east of us. It was good while it lasted.
