    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    I'm Adelphia-bound. They have 13 channels of HD here (including locals) + an HD DVR. I just hope the PQ is good. I'll post my findings in the cable section once I have it installed on the 30th.

    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    All I know is that we're going to have to learn to live with reflective tribblewonky-lite after the 30th. :mad:

    POLL: After VOOM, who will be your provider?

    No specific announcement from D* but plenty of speculation in the HDTV Programming forum on AVS. Its all based on the new mpeg4 capable sats going up over the next few months. Its rumored to be a 2 or 3 year transition. So I guess I should've said that D* HD receivers are likely to become...

    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    Hey elocs, thanks for throwing cold water on our debate. ;) It sure was alot more fun debating which new channels were coming. Anyhoo, I'm getting Adelphia cable hooked up on the 30th but I'd still like to have an OTA receiver in case their local feed PQ is bad. (fingers crossed)

    Listings of S.G. member’s predictions for future:

    Verizon will be using Microsoft's IPTV as well and I think they are the most likely candidate to pick up some or all of the Voom 21's. They aren't rolling out IPTV until the end of the year so I'm not sure what would happen if those channels were dark for six months. Of course this is all just...

    Voom 21 programming ends at......

    BFG, that means that there will be no programming on the 30th. Is that what you meant to say or should it be 12:01 AM May 1st?

    POLL: After VOOM, who will be your provider?

    I'm going with Adelphia cable. They have all the locals in HD (except Fox), HBO, SHO, Starz, Max, HDNet & Movies, InHD1 & 2, ESPNHD & 2, Discovery HD and NFLnet HD. Thats a total of 15. They also offer an HD DVR for $6 or $7. Plus no commitment in case something better comes along (Verizon...

    Voom promises of 50 channels, price reduction, etc

    Most likely its your TV. It takes time for it to process the HD picture. I have a receiver that lets me delay the audio to get it in synch.

    Cablevision Chairman To Use Cash, Stock To Fund Voom

    When I first heard about them meeting that was my impression as well. AMC6 was said to be needed to add channels anyway so a complete move to it would not change the plan much. The problem is that Dolan needs Rainbow 1 for a few(several?) months for a transition to AMC6. It has plenty of...

    Are you willing to pay extra for your local sports channel?

    I'm not that concerned about RSNs anymore since my local one, Empire Sports Network, recently turned off the lights. Also, there's no hockey.

    Malone Voices Skepticism About Voom's Chances

    Something came to mind when reading Vicki's post with emphasis added. If Malone was making these comments while discussing the results of his company with analysts from around the world, he may just be trying to distance himself from Voom so as not to negatively affect his stock price. Just...

    New Channels Added: - Discoveries & Fox Movie

    I find it pretty funny that people that were perfectly happy with Voom are now pissed that some channels were added but are only available on VaVaVoom. The fact is you are still paying the same amount for the same channels as before. I also find it unfair that people portray it as the...

    Need the Following information From Voom Subs

    This may be a dumb question but... What about OTA channels? I think Fox transmits in 720P so should I set the Voom receiver to 720P for less scaling?

    Letter from Inverstors to Chuck: (Voom/Echostar merge?)

    I think "continue to provide service to its current customers" refers to providing programming. No ones Voom service has been turned off, just the website.

    voom.com...Alive!!

    I agree with Philhu on why its back up but disagree that it will go away on 3/08. If Dolan Sr manages to pull this off he will purchase the voom.com domain name as well. Why would cablevision want it anymore anyway? My guess is that he put up the voomllc.com and newvoom.com sites because cvc...

    Would everything fit on AMC-6 in MPEG4?

    Although it might be better to move to a more centrally located satellite it would also make it a lot more complicated to convert current customers. R-2 can be hit within a few degrees of R-1. Installs can just swap out the dish and LNB at the current location. Whereas a satellite further...
