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.)
