    The sun seems to be in another direction than the dish is pointing. It is still freezing intermittently.

    CSR says Voom is down nationwide?

    VOOM satellites dead? My satellite stations just went off. No signal. Just me? There are no heavy clouds. They froze a few times first and then went away. Let me know.

    ***** Big Big Changes for HD Cinema*****ALL MOVIES in OAR all the time

    Mainstream VOOM VOOM is already aimed at the minority viewer right now. When my installer installed my system, he asked if I had an HD system and said that it would be a waste of time without it. I have added it to the upstairs tv (SD) and last night watched Smallville in widescreen (my bulb...

    Voom 2nd box cost, big boo boo?

    If you are not smart enough to know that you are not losing but gaining with the black bars at the top and bottom, get some cd's from the library of old radio shows and listen to them. Then you don't have to worry about picture shape. Just my 0.20 cents (2 cents with inflation) worth.

    Cinema 10 - Why did Voom pick these movies??

    I agree with OAR. Even 4x3 if that is what it was originally done in. HD should be a process of quality, not shape. It is not up to the exhibitor to crop portions of the original vision (many times at random).

    SCI-FI to start Tues sept 7th (Channel 523) (Already up and Running...)

    I posted this in an earlier forum. Looks like some things are happening. I don't agree with watching any "yellow dog" that is in HD. SD still has enjoyable programming. I would rather watch a good show in SD than a bad one in HD. It would be nice to have one service that could provide us...

    Disgusted With Cropping

    Maybe it has already been doen, but this would be a good topic for a poll. Which do you prefer? Cropped Stretched (Shrunk) OAR By the way. Most HD receivers will do stretched for you and it does not have to be broadcast this way.

    Disgusted With Cropping

    HD broadcasts should be a method of converting the original material in the best possible manner to its original intent. If it was originally shot on film, it should be a quality transfer process. Not a shape. Fit the original shape inside the box provided. Mine will be 48 x 64 or 40 x 85...

    Disgusted With Cropping

    I do not want the aspect ratio of the original exhibition to be altered. Some people quote "intended" as if they know what the director intended to do and didn't. I have seen a petition to change the original 4X3 of Night Gallery to 16x9 for the DVD release. I want to see every inch that was...

    So what are the main stations Voom is missing in their programming?

    I don't agree with watching any "yellow dog" that is in HD. SD still has enjoyable programming. I would rather watch a good show in SD than a bad one in HD. It would be nice to have one service that could provide us with the choice of what we want to watch in both worlds. There are a lot of...

    Gotta Cancel VOOM!! On principle Only...

    I called for service call with VOOM. The VOOM rep said it would be two weeks before they could come. I called back the next day to find out who would be making the call. They gave me their number. I called them and they scheduled an immediate service call and showed up when promised. After...

    Me too! Billed for *free* install and billed again (but Great PQ!)

    I honestly thought that the people with this type of problem were planted by marketers for the other services. I still believe some of this may be true. Mine was not. There needs to be a way to discuss problems with the people making the decisions.

    VOOM charged me for "waived" installation fee.

    Resolution Wilt intervened and I received a promise in writing (e-mail) that the charge would be credited back to my account. It is a shame that customers have to go through this just to get what is right. It is also a shame that Wilt has to get involved with a matter that should have...

    VOOM charged me for "waived" installation fee.

    A reply from Wilt I received a reply from Wilt. He said he would look into it ASAP. I hope for a speedy resolution and not just false hopes. I do not want to change services again.

    VOOM charged me for "waived" installation fee.

    Why does Wilt answer some people and not others? Wilt did not reply. I will dispute the charge. I am extremely disappointed in a TV service that I thought was just what I wanted. I read the complaints in this forum with a grain of salt. Now I have eaten the whole canister.

    VOOM charged me for "waived" installation fee.

    Promised day I was told that even though I was promised the fee would be waived, the person who promised it was in error and the charge would not be reversed. The person made a mistake. This mistake cost me over $200 but that was because an employee was in error. Wilt will not answer...

    VOOM charged me for "waived" installation fee.

    Even worse I have not heard from Wilt. On 8-4 a supervisor read the notes on my account and said that on 6-25 I was promised a free installation of a second receiver. He read this from the notes on my account. Today they tell me that the escalation department said that there was no such note...

    It must be further than that. I can talk to Brazil.

    VOOM charged me for "waived" installation fee.

    :( VOOM told me they would waive the installation fee for my second receiver since that was the only thing that was keeping me from cancelling the other satellite service. I had them install it and cancelled my other service. VOOM charged me $200 for the installation and put it on my credit...

    To Diplex or not...

    I improved my OTA signal quality by removing the diplexer. When the installer came out to install my second receiver, he showed me that the original installer had not put the amplifier in the OTA antenna. That is why my signal improved and I received new channels when I removed it. He put in...

    Voom False Advertising??

    Picture quality Just got my second receiver installed upstairs. Will be disconnecting the other service. The first thing my wife said when she saw the picture was that it was so much better than the other satellite service. I also switched the two downstairs from one to the other and you...

    How does OTA Scanning works in new software?

    New scale on new software I received the new software on a second receiver today. On the old receiver with the original software, my FOX station fluctuates between 28-42. While scanning with the new receiver and software scale, I got a 92. On both receivers, my S/N was better on FOX...
