Oh, my gosh, another go at the coaster. One more time from the top.riffjim4069 said:Yikes! Four continuous months of ups-and-downs; it's much like a never ending roller-coaster. My pancreas can't take too much more excitement.
Hey, the coaster is a bit lighter and faster because lots of riders got out before the end of the ride!
Hang on to your hats and pacreases, folks.
The guy who played Dr. Smith lived on our street when I was a kid -- Woodland Hills in southern California. I never met him, but I watched him drive home from work. He gave me the same disgusted gaze from his car that he gave others on that show.riffjim4069 said:

Yep...it's something I've preached long and loud...I just don't practice it too well!! Come on Scott, GIVE!!! Vickigutter said:
I was not in any hurry to switch services until the end and see what will really happen and who will provide the best deal. I am glad I did. In my area cable is not a choice. Adelphia with 3 HD channels and none of the major networks in HD. None. So I am content to see what really goes and will adjust accordingly. Patience is a virtue and also can save you from making a costly commitment.
Why not just make Dish run new lines...or have you already cancelled VoOm?whtsantafe said:

Mediacom out by me doesn't have ANY HD at all. They suck even worse! Every town around me has Comcast and I'm stuck with Mediacom!chrem88 said:
What are you talking about leaving customers hanging?
They've already told you what is going on. They are shutting down the service on April 30th. They have it posted online, on the phone, through e-mail, SNAIL, the online guide. They all advise you to switch to another provider. There is nothing else going on for you to be sitting around waiting for something else to happen. The voom DBS service is going away on May 1st at 3AM EST

</B>well i guess there are some of us that belive in something.Seems to me that you have a lack of balls to voice you ideas and thats and are one who runs from a fight.I enjoy voom and will have to say that it a product that is worth fighting over.I know i will be shut down on my 01 3.00 am EST.
Have you ever enjoy something that is what you wanted and then are being told hey we are not making the money thatw e wanting so we are shutting it down and go f**k yourself and by the way how does you ass fell.
Well for once i think that we could defend voom and stop running away and just hope that it will work for us</b
Ouch

I never said you can't watch it while it's still on and that you have to run away.
I was simply correcting your statement about voom leaving customers hanging and that there is still more they need to tell you when there isn't.

I hear ya!
I am in the same situation with Charter. Every other town around me has Time Warner with HD of course. Charter has been giving me the run around about when they will be getting HD for the last 18 months much less a DVR. I might see it in September.
I feel your pain.

VOOM as we know it, will cease to exist in a few days time.
Some or all of those VOOM21 channels will continue production during May, which indicates that Cablevision is serious about delivering HD content to other service providers.
I've already signed up for Charter cable for the HD-DVR and what few channels they offer in HD -- cable seems the best place to wait out the storm until the sat providers get thier MPEG4 act together (end of summer -- at the earliest -- through spring of 2006). By the second qaurter of next year the sat boys should have much more HD content and updated boxes. Until then, I'll hang in my cable cave until the SD nuclear winter blows over.
I plan on watching VOOM until they pull the plug or someone picks up the VOOM21.
