Activate voom receiver

This is quite possibly the stupidest policy I have ever seen and maybe even illegal based on consumer and fair trade laws!!! Apr 11, 1. Click to expand Indy SatelliteGuys Pro. May 13, 23 Indiana. I emailed bidders on ebay for weeks when the boxes started to show up to warn of this policy.

I even emailed the sellers. Sad but true, it is a boat anchor and nothing else. I guess Voom figures they pissed off a couple of thousand people but in the whole scheme of things they figure they can take the bad PR and keep the money, screw the buyers and the second hand buyers. For once in my life I am happy to have waited and not jump on for a ride too early! Renting a box and not regretting it!

Two possibilities: 1 We already know about the first generation boxes that were swapped out due to technical issues. I doubt if VOOM wants a wave of those surfacing to be re-activated. They have enough "irons in the fire" as it is. It suits me fine that they are making folks follow the rules.

Anything that helps VOOM's security helps us all. Content providers are going to be a lot more willing to sell thru VOOM if they feel it is a theft-free outlet.

That should eventually be reflected in the rates, if it is not already. Apr 19, 0. I would think that this is illegal for VOOM to do. If they can validate the SN on the box I would think that you would have a court case. Just my opinion.

According to the customer agreement, the access card authorizes the service, and the access card is tied to the box serial number. If somebody wants to buy a receiver, they can't activate the service without an access card, and the access card is always the property of Voom--even if you own the STB.

At that time, it was the ONLY option. There are a few people who never switched from purchase to lease, and I'm one of them. Connect ID. What is Connect ID?
