    Netflix Raises Fees for Blu-Ray...AGAIN!!!

    I'm on my 2 week free trial, but I am totally satisfied. I just got a new 50" plasma and a Blu-Ray player as well a a Roku set top box. Yes, my Netflix is $2 more for the 1 dvd out at a time, but as it stands now I can get up to 3 dvds a week since they go from the post office in my city to...

    New Poll: Where are you going?

    A couple of days ago I got my LG LST 4200A HD ota receiver. I pulled the plug on Voom on Friday night and I will not even watch it this last day. Today I called and cancelled cable. So no cable bill, no Voom bill. I am enjoying fewer channels, but they are free and I am actually watching a...

    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    I am going strictly ota post-Voom and so 66.6% of my channels will be HD, although that is really only 4 out of 6 stations.

    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    Well now there are only 4 days and a few hours left. I never realized or appreciated the extensive technical expertise that the posters here possess. Keep up the good work because we need something to smile about.

    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    I'm glad to be of service, but no need to stop on my account--there are still 6 or so days still left. I wouldn't turn down a working ota receiver even if I am getting another one. Maybe the receiver will still work if they plasmorize the reflective tribblewonky. Or maybe that is why it may...

    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    Ok. It is interesting to read some post that they are sure it will or will not work for whatever reason they cite. It's a moot point for me since I do not intend to depend on it. So either it will work, or it won't work, or it will work for awhile, or it will work for some, but not for others...

    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    That's a reasonable answer. So how about a simple yes, no, or maybe? It does not really matter to me because I am getting another receiver. I guess what is funny is the absolute certainty that some post that it will or will not work.

    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    I'll take your word for it that the receiver will receive ota. It has been amusing reading the "yes it will, no it won't" posts here for the last few weeks and longer. Along with the in depth explanations as to why it will or will not work. Most people probably want a simple yes or no. In...

    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    This is why I am grateful I will have an LG 4200A HD receiver next week so I can get my ota channels regardless of what happens to the Voom receiver.

    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    This is why I have already ordered a new HD ota receiver. I have no intention to put my faith in an unsupported receiver that might or might not work. As far as a definitive answer goes, when in the last 4 months have we ever had a definitive answer about anything other than the most recent...

    VOOM Fade to Black and Farewell: T-Minus 9 Days and Counting...

    Amen to that. I made that decision a week before Voom announced its shutdown. Voom's future constantly being up in the air allowed me to do some serious thinking about my tv viewing. My personal decision is that I watch too much and pay too much. I have ordered an LG 4200a HD ota receiver...

    Voom Box is DEAD and no OTA

    I see that the same old will it work/will it not work/ will Voom send a kill signal for ota debate is still going on. Considering how things have gone the past few months with Voom, why should they definitively let us know about this now? After all, there are about 10 left until shutdown. As...

    May 1st where will you be? Dish, Cable or DirecTV?

    I, too, subscribed to Voom last May. At that time I had a hdtv for a year and a half without any hd. I bought the set specifically for the improved picture quality to watch dvds as compared to my old analog set, NOT to watch hd. So renting a hdtv in order to receive hd content might be a good...

    I am going with Cable, what about you.

    It is a wonderful theater. I have a 25 year old niece that I took there when she was 3 and she would talk about how she though there was a princess inside the doorway atop of the stairs attached on each side of the theater inside. All kids are entralled by it since it has "character", unlike...

    Anyone recording for posterity? In hidef?

    Hd programs that I have recorded on my Panasonic dvd recorder look great, nearly hd. I had recorded Silence of the Lambs when it was first on and my recording of Help! looks as good as the one I bought. I have also recorded some Equator, Rave, and DiscoveryHD, along with some from Monsters.
