    Couldn't VOOM free up some bandwidth by deleting SD channels with HD couterparts?

    I know that SD channels don't use even close to as much bandwidth as HD channels, but wouldn't deleting or combining redundant channels help to make room for other unique channels or increased PQ (decreased compression)? The movies channels all have an HD feed and an SD feed for example. ESPN...

    HDNet Moves Into OTA Market

    I've actually been getting HDNet programming OTA via a sub-channel of a local independent station ever since I have signed up with Voom last March. However, the Voom program guide is always completely wrong for it (says it is playing HDNet's Live Coverage of the Republican National Convention...

    New Channels 340 (FSFL) and 341 (FSFLHD)

    I'm getting the "Call VOOM to Upgrade" message on both 340 and 341. I'm in Pennsylvania, not Florida. How can I tell if I am eligible for these channels? I don't want to assume I'm not just because I don't get them now (I missed out on the first two days of Olympic coverage because I assumed...

    Lack of OTA main reason for high Voom churn rate and low signup numbers?

    I know that, in my area atleast, almost all of the Voom customers who are leaving are doing so because of the complete lack of available network programming over the air. In fact, when I first signed up, the installer called me before coming out to warn me that he was "removing 9 out of 10 of...

    Voom said I was not eligable for SD Oylmpics, I called NBC, now I have 321,593 & 594!

    I was so disappointed when I saw that I was not recieving live Olympics coverage on 593 or 594 (you might remember my angry post from the other day about having to go into work early just to watch the Olympics live). I don't have any OTA NBC coverage so, other than the few sports shown on CNBC...

    So what the hell is going on???? re olympic feed

    I had to go to work early today just to be able to watch the live coverage of the US vollyball and swimming events. I have no SD coverage. Voom had assured me I was eligable for the SD channel from Conneticut. They told me the same thing this morning when I called to complain about still having...

    I had to go to work early just to be able to watch the Olympics!

    Yeah, my cable company was the first one in the country, so they have better service than most other cable companies. In all fairness though, the 21 HD channels include 14 that are HD feeds from local stations. They have a monopoly in this area, and they act like it, so I hate the idea of...

    I had to go to work early just to be able to watch the Olympics!

    I had to go to work early today just to be able to watch the Olympics! Another dedicated Voom customer losing patience. I have no network OTA channels available to me. I never have with Voom. That means no ABC, CBS, NBC, or Fox programming. I've had two upgraded antennas, with no luck...

    So what the hell is going on???? re olympic feed

    I'm confused. I get channel 321 no problem. But channel 593 and 594 both still show the upgrade message (no picture). I live in Allentown, PA. My local NBC channel is in Philadelphia, which I though was listed as one of the markets allowed to get the SD feed. I'm always out of range for my local...

    Anyone else notice show listings for channel 321 last night?

    I was surfing through the channel guide just after midnight last night and noticed that channel 321 had show listings. It listed "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", "Late Night with Conan O'Brian", "Days of Our Lives", and "Passions". There were long gaps between the shows with only "Off-Air"...
