Finally....

Hey thanks for the new input on VOOM Sean. Any info about the return to full HD resolution yet?

I wish I could tell you something but I haven't heard anything about that.

Awesome! Keep the new content coming. i sure wish they had a better website though with more info on it.

Hoping and praying that they get back to full rez by the time they show the Bond films!

What's with the stupid smiley faces?

Nice news, but aparently that means they're blowing off April and May like they did Feburary and March. I noticed yesterday that Film Fest was still showing the "program" for Janurary in their bumpers. (Although they weren't actually showing the same movies.)

Summer got hotter. More to look forward to.
Voom again makes Dish worth all the problems.
:D

Oh yeah, and a big shout out for the CFL.
The perfect pairing, the bigger wider football game and Worldsport.
Thank you Voom. :up

It's refreshing to watch professional football at this level without all the showboating and antics of the National Felons League. Gray Cup!!!

So is WorldsportHD going to use their own truck here in Canada or are they just using someone elses feed?

I doubt VOOM has capability to roll their own truck across Canada...especially for only a couple hundred thousand Worldsport viewers. I don't see a press release, but I would assume someone like CBC will provide VOOM with the HD feed. Sean, do you have any information on this?

At this point I do not but I will ask...

What's with the stupid smiley faces?

Nice news, but aparently that means they're blowing off April and May like they did Feburary and March. I noticed yesterday that Film Fest was still showing the "program" for Janurary in their bumpers. (Although they weren't actually showing the same movies.)


Which smiley faces? :)

About April and May, not necessarily. They have being airing lots of new stuff in April and May, well, we can't say yet.

Excellent news! CFL in HD, Bond in HD (we already knew about this one for a while but it is nice to finally find out when), more Jools Holland (some excellent bands in there!).

I hope they go full resolution soon but more importantly it would be nice to see more bandwitdth allotted. With my new 1080p tv (upgrade from 540p x 968 projector in the basement) I notice that Treasure HD is sometimes not give a lot of bandwidth.

Oh man, the James Bond films in HD. That is just fantastic.

Just so that our PUB MEMBERs do not go crazy and say where did the June Press Release go, I had to take it down from our Voom Forum. Apparently, it was sent to us by mistake and the only thing that has not finalized is the contract with the canadian Football League. Everything else is ok. It pays to be a PUB MEMBER.

Some June Highlights also in first post....
