A couple of days ago I got my LG LST 4200A HD ota receiver. I pulled the plug on Voom on Friday night and I will not even watch it this last day. Today I called and cancelled cable. So no cable bill, no Voom bill. I am enjoying fewer channels, but they are free and I am actually watching a...

I am going strictly ota post-Voom and so 66.6% of my channels will be HD, although that is really only 4 out of 6 stations.

Well now there are only 4 days and a few hours left. I never realized or appreciated the extensive technical expertise that the posters here possess. Keep up the good work because we need something to smile about.

I'm glad to be of service, but no need to stop on my account--there are still 6 or so days still left. I wouldn't turn down a working ota receiver even if I am getting another one. Maybe the receiver will still work if they plasmorize the reflective tribblewonky. Or maybe that is why it may...

Ok. It is interesting to read some post that they are sure it will or will not work for whatever reason they cite. It's a moot point for me since I do not intend to depend on it. So either it will work, or it won't work, or it will work for awhile, or it will work for some, but not for others...

That's a reasonable answer. So how about a simple yes, no, or maybe? It does not really matter to me because I am getting another receiver. I guess what is funny is the absolute certainty that some post that it will or will not work.

I'll take your word for it that the receiver will receive ota. It has been amusing reading the "yes it will, no it won't" posts here for the last few weeks and longer. Along with the in depth explanations as to why it will or will not work. Most people probably want a simple yes or no. In...

This is why I am grateful I will have an LG 4200A HD receiver next week so I can get my ota channels regardless of what happens to the Voom receiver.

This is why I have already ordered a new HD ota receiver. I have no intention to put my faith in an unsupported receiver that might or might not work. As far as a definitive answer goes, when in the last 4 months have we ever had a definitive answer about anything other than the most recent...

Amen to that. I made that decision a week before Voom announced its shutdown. Voom's future constantly being up in the air allowed me to do some serious thinking about my tv viewing. My personal decision is that I watch too much and pay too much. I have ordered an LG 4200a HD ota receiver...

I see that the same old will it work/will it not work/ will Voom send a kill signal for ota debate is still going on. Considering how things have gone the past few months with Voom, why should they definitively let us know about this now? After all, there are about 10 left until shutdown. As...

If you want contradictory info, you have come to the right place.

I think I will stick with my original premise. People see hdtv all the time at places like BB and CC and they can see that it looks better, but if they are not in the market for a new tv and are satisfied with the programming they now have, then I cannot see them just shelling out hundreds of...

This is exactly where I was for nearly 2 years before I got Voom. I had a hdtv for viewing my dvds, specifically, I bought it for the release of the first Lord of the Rings movie. I knew about hd, but I was satisfied with what I had. With Voom I could get nearly all of the sd channels I...

It will work, it won't work--evidently, the most baffling and unanswerable question of our time. Ultimately, it cannot be both. It can work for awhile, then not work, but in the end it will need to be one or the other. As for me, I am not going to count on an unsupported receiver to get my hd.

This article was spot on. My family, friends, and coworkers are mostly working class people and none of them have hdtv or plans to get one. Although one of my friends is a graphic artist and probably has nearly $10,000 of computer and av equipment at home, his family still watches tv on a 10...

I've decided that I am not going to count on Voom's receiver to keep working after the 30th. In a couple of weeks I will get myself the highly rated LG 4200A and so I won't depend upon an iffy ota receiver that cannot be updated, ugraded, or supported. If it works fine, if not, well I'm...

This same question as to whether the Voom receiver would still work for ota after shutdown was raised months ago. Still no definative answer. Yes it will, no it won't. Can't be both.

It could be that they knew there were going to be losses, but could not stomach them or did not have the commitment to continue enduring the loss of millions of dollars. Maybe they were clueless. Charles Dolan was the one with the vision for Voom, but it was not an altruistic venture for him...

As much as we make not like their actions, the board at CV is under no obligation to provide us with hd services at the loss of millions of dollars to their company. They are, however, under an obligation to their shareholders who want their stock to make money and not pour money down what they...

Five bucks, wow! I once got a class action suit settlement with a credit card company for a dime. Five dollars is 50 times that much!

Well, either the receivers will work allowing ota, or they won't. With all of the knowledgeable people out there, the tech types, and employees, somebody must know. I refuse to believe that this is one of the top 10 dark and unreveilable secrets of the universe. Enquiring minds want to know...

Well I certainly want to know exactly what the deal is, including the invisible fine print. Will it cost just $5 for each extra receiver or not? Will the cost go up after 6 months? Is it a deal or not, or just a come-on. I was thinking about adding a second receiver in order to be able to...

I think this is a good idea, but it should have been done months ago. I, personaly, will get no benefit from it because I do not know anybody else with a hdtv or anybody who plans to get one. Also, the people I know are perfectly happy with cable. To top it off, those that have heard me talk...

what about content? If there are many old tv shows and movies that I enjoy, do I just give up on ever seeing them until if or when they are in HD? I like HD as much as anyone here, but until there is far more HD programming and content then there is now, I refuse to become an HD elitist and...
