Having had DirecTV and HDTV programming for a few years I am about to
call it a bust and declare that High Definition programming in America is
dead. DirecTV offers very little in HD programming. The HD Discovery
Channel is comprised of the same re-runs over and over again. Their HD Net
Movies are usually pitiful examples of movie-making, with the same rre-runs
over and over again. The other HD channels seem to be nothing more than
sports or trash programming. Showtime HD is a joke, so I just cancelled it.
HBO fairly good if you can get around the sports and sex trash specials.
VOOM supposedly offers about 30 HD movie channels, even a horror movie
channel. But nobody seems to know much about VOOM and cannot answer
my questions. The Sears outlets near my home have and sell VOOM but, so
far, don't even know how to set it up and can't even receive it in their show
rooms.
I have called VOOM outlets several times and, so far, nobody can even
answer one single question of mine, such as: DOES VOOM BROADCAST
LETTERBOXED PROGRMMING, ESPECIALLY WITH MOVIES? I am a
letteerboxing aficionado. I love wide screen movies.
Huh?
Can anyone answer these questions?
How does VOOM work with TiVo -- or does it? I currently have a Hughes
DirecTV TiVo unit and know that you ordinarily can't record HD on a DVR, but
I am at my wit's end with the failure known as High Definition Programming.
