Goober says he's real sorry for mispellin' my name all this time, and that he won't ever spell my name wrong again. -- Gomer

Goober In Negotiations With Hollywood Bigwigs In a rapidly developing story, GooberHD Networks declined to comment today on whether they are in "big time" negotiations with a number of "Hollywood bigwigs" regarding the planned introduction of GooberHD, the highly anticipated high definition TV...

GooberHD Update My friends are real excited about that GooberHD idea. But they think we need to add "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Golmer Pyle, USMC" to the lineup. I always liked "Peticoat Junction", "Green Acres", "HeeHaw", and "The Buck Owens Show". I been talking with my bookkeeper, Billy...

Goober-HD? Shazam!!! Wait till the boys at the barbershop hear about this.

High Definition Tractor-Pull Network Planned? Some fella at the barbershop said that they was planning on starting a 24-hour high definition tractor-pull network. He said that they was gonna have monster-trucks too, all in high-definition TV. Has anyone else heard about this? I wished they'd...

Me and Golmer was watching the NFL professional football game last night on my new high definition television set when we thought we saw some of that mosquito noise that I heard about in this forum. Well, we called the station up at Mount Pilot and they said to try spraying some "Off" in our...

Technical Question I wasn't sure which Forum to post my technical question to -- Goob

Technical Question If the Olympics is shot in HD, why can't VOOM put Bravo 502 in HD? Not enough bandwidth avialable? That's what I mean about bandwidth waste. I would much rather see the Olympics in HD than an old John Wayne Western, even though he's my most favorite movie star.

Please, Vurbano, don't give them any ideas. I want my VOOMTV.

Dvlos, you need to brush up on your ciphering...Does anyone else offer near as much HD content? Seriously, your points are well taken, but VOOM still offers their original content, which is really their claim to fame.

I wish VOOM would put their Arts and Croissants content on 502 and the Olympics on BravoHD. But the picture quality on 502 still appears better than normal standard definition. Now if NBC would only consider an HD Fishin' Channel...

My sentiments exactly. I would never watch a lot of the programming that now is consuming alot of my normal "checkers time"

I just discovered late last night that Bravo's Olympic coverage is on channel 502. All this time I've been wondering why Bravo was showing Circus de Soleil and their normal Arts and Croisaints content when the Olymics are going on. Thanks VOOM and NBC. Shazamm!

I tried walking like those fashion models do, and it's not as easy as it looks. But it's fun to watch. Shazamm! Seriously, I love watching this channel...Those gals sure are cute.

Okay. I agree. What I really meant is not to waste HD bandwidth on movies of questionable merit. Actually, some of VOOM's B&W are some of their better movie content. Some of VOOM's Cinema movies could really be in standard definition without any noticable loss in observable picture quality --...

As I said, VOOM's not perfect, but at this point in time they're offering the best HD content in the marketplace. Give them a little slack, they're blazing some new territory here. And at the risk of sounding like a broken record, their original content is a fantastic example of what the HD...

Shazamm!! Anyone with any taste knows that Ed Wood's "Plan 9" is admitedly one of the premeire classics of the "Bad Science Fiction" genre. And "Robot Monsters" is equally "bad" (meaning funny). I urge you to watch both of them again and report back to this forum regarding your opinion of them.

I agree that VOOM's far from perfect, but right now it's currently on its way to owning the "High Definition" position in consumers' minds (see Ries, A. and Trout,J. (1981) Positioning, The battle for your mind, Warner Books - McGraw-Hill Inc., New York, 1981, ISBN 0-446-34794-9). I also agree...

Vurbano: Do you have a good signal and a good TV? Anybody that does and doesn't realize how great VOOM is needs to have their head examined. Just the Michael McDonald concert that's on RAVE right now is worth the price of admission. I've seen it five times now, and I'm blown away every time I...

"Robot Monster" or "Plan 9 From Outer Space" would be good too.

Dear VOOM, Me and Miss Krump would sure like to see "Mystery Science Theater" on your MonstersHD channel. Thanks, Goob P.S. Golmer says he'd like that too.

In spite of the Olympics fiasco (which admittedly is not VOOM's fault) VOOM is without a doubt the premiere source for HD content, PERIOD. Most all of VOOM's original content is AWESOME, particularly the Auction Channel, Equator, Ultra, Rave, Rush (okay, I'm not crazy about all the soccer on...

I ain't leavin neither...VOOM beats the new picture show in Mount Pilot any day.

Since the closest NBC affiliate is 60 miles from my house, I am unable to receive any NBC HD signal. Since the local affiliate has given me a waiver, I want to try one final time to resolve this issue by contacting NBC. Anybody know the appropriate deppartment (or, better yet, phone number)to...

After making a bunch of phone calls, I was able to get a waiver from my local NBC affiliate who is 60 miles away. I called VOOM to have them flip the switch, and after being put on hold several times so they could confer with VOOM management, I was told that now I needed to get approval from NBC...
