I can't imagine how much money Mr. Cuban is losing at that price so charging less isn't likely to help him out any. I would say UHD is priced about right and provides value to me about equal to what I am being charged. I would pay more than I am paying for the two HDNet channels which provide...

I don't think maintaining the existing customer base has anything to do with it. The goal is millions of subscribers and other than maintaining good relations with the insignificant number of current subscribers just for the purpose of goodwill and positive word of mouth, this can only mean he...

My 6 months of the HD package for free just expired. Does this mean I can get it extended 3 months or is this just for new HD package subscribers? Chris

Of course you are right, getting new subscribers is all that can make VOOM a success. All of the money lost in the last year will become irrelevant and a plan for the company to move forward and become profitable based on what is being done now and in the future is all that is relevant. I...

The 1024x1024 ALIS plasma displays are getting cheaper, not sure what you want to spend or what size screen you want. I sure like the picture of the few I have seen. Chris

It is true with TiVo or D-VHS, you can only record SD from VOOM. JVC did make a W-VHS VCR that was capable of recording analog 1080i using component video. That is the only way I am aware of so far to record VOOM HDTV. I have a W-VHS VCR and when it was the only way I had to record HDTV, I...

I have been recording Dolby Digital 5.1 SD DirecTV using firewire to D-VHS for 5 years and recording HDTV with DD 5.1 this year to D-VHS. The HDTV version requires an expensive modification to the receiver adding a firewire port. Most digital cable services have working firewire now and all...

The three movie channels HBO, Showtime HD, and HDNet Movies are all crammed on the same transponder now and are not truly HD by any stretch of the imagination. Hopefully after the NFL season is over, DirecTV will no longer have to do that. As the above referenced link indicates all are...

I am getting MLB in HD on 88 and 89. I have a waiver from the Fox affiliate in Springfield, MO and this can't be an O&O market. Thursday nights game was on as well and everything looked good until the rainout last night so I am hopeful I will be getting all the games as long as DirecTV shows...

The point is the LG built receivers, including the Sony HD300, are still available from retailers and it is in response to a post here and is also accurate. Seems very relevant to me. Chris

I will be keeping it regardless but as the others indicated, that is moot since more channels should be part of the package before that decision would have to be made. Chris

The Sony HD300 and Hughes HTL-HD are both made by LG and are basically the same other than the RF remote capability with the Sony. I have seen nothing that would indicate the tuner in the Sony is anything other than the exact same LG tuner that is also in the HTL-HD and LG LSS3200A, despite...

I hope DirecTV doesn't dump TiVo but as long as it is supported I will continue to use it regardless. The additional HD channels rumor may be the offer that nobody else can meet. Dish Network and cable already have low price non-TiVo PVRs so that may not be it. DirecTV has a large base of...

There is nothing wrong with choosing Voom for HDTV since Voom offers more channels than DirecTV. I am happy with DirecTV HDTV programming and will soon be getting the HD TiVo, at least I hope I will since it is supposed to ship today. Showtime does show a lot of OAR HDTV, I don't know the...

You do have to have firewire connected to record or playback HDTV recordings with the Mitsubishi D-VHS. JVC makes D-VHS VCRs with MPEG decoders that can playback HDTV through component video outputs but can only record HDTV through firewire input. Chris
