Thread: VOOM Rules!!!

In spite of the Olympics fiasco (which admittedly is not VOOM's fault) VOOM is without a doubt the premiere source for HD content, PERIOD. Most all of VOOM's original content is AWESOME, particularly the Auction Channel, Equator, Ultra, Rave, Rush (okay, I'm not crazy about all the soccer on WorldSports, and the melting popcicles are of limited interest to me). I also love the really bad Japanese science fiction movies on MonstersHD. Now, if VOOM could just do something about getting the NFL Network in HD, and maybe do a deal with the Travel Channel ...
Keep up the good work, VOOM!

yeah! what he said!

Nice to see such an all-out endorsement! I agree!

Hes new. lol. I thought 6 HD channels on D* was cool for the 1st 6 months too. LMAO

Meet vurbano, our resident Party Pooper.

Vurbano:
Do you have a good signal and a good TV? Anybody that does and doesn't realize how great VOOM is needs to have their head examined. Just the Michael McDonald concert that's on RAVE right now is worth the price of admission. I've seen it five times now, and I'm blown away every time I see it. Maybe you need to consider an equipment upgrade...
Thanks again VOOM. Please don't go away.

Will he be saying that the Michael McDonald concert is worth the price of admission after he has seen it 30 times!!

Voom is on its last leg with me, double charged yet again this month.

I agree that VOOM's far from perfect, but right now it's currently on its way to owning the "High Definition" position in consumers' minds (see Ries, A. and Trout,J. (1981) Positioning, The battle for your mind, Warner Books - McGraw-Hill Inc., New York, 1981, ISBN 0-446-34794-9). I also agree that VOOM does certainly tend to repeat itself, and that some of it's content reeks (like the excessive soccer coverage for instance), but it's picture and sound quality is unsurpassed. And isn't that why you (and millions of other consumers) spent exhorbitant amounts on your HDTV? Give VOOM credit for making HD content like theirs available to the marketplace. If not VOOM, who else?

Unsurpassed PQ is a bit strong for a overly compressed signal. While it is very good it does not compare to OTA HD at this time. WM9 or MPEG4. I also have a very large screen HD system and have had a pro calibration. But I still would not give up VOOM. Where else can you get as many HD channels in one place. Now if they just up the bit rate.
