| | | I'm missing VOOM too, but my D* HD channels look great. I think there is some psych stuff with some folks. They have convinced themselves VOOM is the best HD to the point no other HD looks as good. VOOM was the best HD because it was the most HD. Let it go. D*, and I'm sure E* HD is just fine. There's just not enough of it.

| | It's really hard watching NBA playoffs on TNT SD. If they could get TNTHD, I'd be happy to wait awhile for them to aquire the Voom stuff. I've seen most of the Voom programming already (I'm not much of a World Sport fan) and with their repetition factor, I don't think I'd be missing much for the next few months. The Nationals/Mets game looks great on ESPNHD and I'm completely enjoying my HDTivo. |

| | Sad everyone was moaning about Voom's PQ, a while back and I admit it was bad sometimes, but I had gone from D* to V* and I thought Voom looked hot. I think everyone sucks. |

I never said V* looked bad. If "everyone" did not like V* PQ as you say, then why did V* have any customers? There were some PQ issuses but they were issuses. Also if you look at the other forums under D* and E* I seem to recall many of them looking at us Voomers with envy and now many of them are jumping up and down with the addition or soon to be addition of V* programing. They also can't wait until the new sats or m-4 gets up and going to gain what we had in PQ.

| | | I can 2nd that.
A couple of weeks ago I had both Direct TV and Dish.
Direct TV HD looked bad compared to Dishentworks 942 recevier.
Many say Direct TV downconverts or compresses HD |
