VOOM HDTV Satellite TV Service Reviews

By Ian Bell May 7, 2004

Quote from one of the user reviews:

“My husband and I signed up for Voom last week. It only took us 3 days to quickly start getting really frustrated with the lack of experience, organization, and professionalism of the people working there and from the installers they work with!

First, the installers were 4 hours late, showed up with no tall ladder to get to the roof and tried to charge us $50 for some put the dish and antenna on the roof when it was supposed to be free. After installing the equipment (we helped then get to the roof from our deck), we weren’t getting the local channels. We call Voom and spend 2 hours on the phone doing reboots and getting instructions from them but still it didn’t work. We call Voom again and set up an appointment for the installers to come back to replace the antenna with a bigger one. “

T-Mobile’s TVision live TV streaming service starts at $10 a month, with a catch

T-Mobile TVision

Cord-cutters will soon have yet another option when it comes to ditching their cable or satellite subscriptions: T-Mobile is launching TVision, a live TV streaming service that starts at just $10 per month, with special bundles for live news, sports, entertainment, and premium channels. It launches November 1, but unlike competitors such as YouTube TV, Sling TV, or Hulu + Live TV, you must be a qualifying T-Mobile subscriber to sign up for TVision.

If you are a T-Mobile customer (or you become one), the company claims you can save up to half of your regular cable bill. "A TV package on the average cable bill costs $156 — and that’s before add-on fees," according to the TVision website. Your actual savings will depend a lot on which TVision package you choose, but there's no doubt that you can spend as little as $10 per month if your needs are minimal.
