[VOOM] Re: Echostar Communication Buys Ranibow 1

  • 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!

Same here - I'm planning to get one, but I don't have one yet. PQ and
audio is better than the local cable for about the same price.

If Voom croaks, it will be because of bad marketing. Most people don't
even know that it exists.

------------------------
 
I mean the reason why ESPN2 HD was not added on 01/06 was probably
because of the pending sale to E*.. Up to date VOOM has added every
HD channel on the day it was launched except this one. What do I
know, just a thought

[VOOM] Re: After reading through all the posts here and satguys, those I feel sorry...

Just a quick note on the continued use of the recievers as OTA tuners

The recieevers need to recieve an authorization on a continual basis to
contine working, usually every 2 weeks to a month or when you change
your programming

This being said, if Voom dies, (and I am still hoping that ther old man
pitches a fit and kills his kid and the board) then within 2 weeks to a
month, the authorization on your reciever will expire, and the OTA
portion will no longer function
