  Voom – A New HDTV Satellite Service To Compete With DirecTV and Dish Network
Voom’s first priority is to HDTV programming and it comes out of the gates with 21 channels including some unique channels produced by Cablevision as part of their $39.90 per month plan.
The traditional channels found on Voom are still sparse at this point and will leave TV enthusiasts wanting to keep their existing digital cable or satellite provider so that they can have a more robust choice of non-HDTV programming.
A representative from Voom claims that Cablevision is feverishly negotiating to add more channels so that they compete better with the other satellite and cable providers – even their own Cablevision cable TV product.

 Voom Gets a Reality Check
Dolan persuaded Cablevision to launch Voom in October 2003, but it has failed to generate more than 50,000 subscribers despite a lineup of approximately 40 High-Definition TV channels.
As I stated in October 2003, when Voom was first launched, there is simply not enough room for three satellite TV services in the United States.
Voom won't suddenly generate more subscribers just because he starts a new company to run it.

 Ultimate AV: Voom Gets Reprieve
To recap our story so far, in mid-February, Cablevision agreed to sell the Voom satellite and FCC operation licenses to competitor EchoStar for $200 million, a transaction that is apparently still under regulatory scrutiny.
He also put up a new Voom Web site to solicit new customers, much to the consternation of his son James and other industry analysts.
The agreement allows Rainbow DBS to remain in operation and to continue to provide its Voom service to subscribers while Charles and Thomas Dolan seek to arrange an alternate transaction that would avoid a shutdown of Rainbow DBS.

 Home Theater: VOOM and Gloom
January 24, 2005 —; Cablevision's recent announcement of the pending sale of the VOOM satellite (along with other assets related to VOOM) to Echostar Communications Corp. (DISH Network) should cause a twinge of sadness in the hearts of all HDTV lovers.
Furthermore, they opine, it was virtually impossible for VOOM to catch up to the near-insurmountable lead in total subscribers (and thus profitability) held by DIRECTV and DISH Network.
Finally, there is the feeling that in the "post-Enron financial climate", the board of Cablevision was unwilling to continue absorbing the huge losses VOOM was racking up for fear of investor lawsuits.
