I'm in the same boat. I currently have D* as my main provider, and of course I'm hooked on Sunday Ticket. I subscribe to only the HD package on E*, but it's kind of a waste since the only thing I watch is an occasional movie on Monsters HD. So I'm going to drop E* completely. I'm debating...

I agree. What a complete, utter joke. It's like someone lost all their integrity when being in the company of celebrities. Also, the implication that you can't tell the difference between 1280 x 1080 versus 1920 x 1080 on lower resolution TVs is also false. Even on "ED" (480p) projectors, the...

In my opinion, they still looked much better when Voom broadcast them, even at lower resolution. Of course, I'm using a Dish 6000, but they've never looked the same to me after viewing them over Dish. I still use my old Voom receiver for OTA, and the picture is SO much clearer than when I'm...

Sean, thanks very much. I like watching all those trailers, though I wish people used the "discuss" option to talk about the films. That has the potential to be a cool movie forum. Looks like MonstersHD is picking up a bit. I'm glad I've held on to it. At times I've thought about just...

Where do you have to look at the site to find that? I've gone over it several times and couldn't find anything. Thanks

I'm still using a couple of my Voom receivers for OTA, and they actually do a better job of pulling in signals than my Directv Samsung HD box. I'm also still using my Voom dish to pull the 61.5 Voom channels from Dish (I bought a used Dish HD receiver and just subscribe to the HD package)...

After looking at the listings for the next couple weeks on zap2it, they're finally mixing up the content on MonstersHD. They'll be showing reruns of course, but at least it's movies we haven't seen in a while like Inseminoid, various old Monsterama episodes, etc. I just can't handle seeing any...

I'd give the edge to Dish as well. Voom was also better than D*. I have both Dish and DirecTV but I'm finding less and less incentive to hang onto DirecTV at all. Hopefully things will change for the better when the new sats are working, I'm just tired of waiting because it seems like for years...

This is a surprisingly entertaining movie. MGM released it as part of their Midnite Movies line, and it's nice to see it appear in HD.

I'd love to see The Creeping Flesh in HD! It's not even available on DVD, and I've wanted it for some time. Peter Cushing stars in it, and it has a really nasty, creepy monster in it that sort of reminds me of the Alien/human hybrid (Ripley's offspring) from the finale of Alien Resurrection...

I'm using 2 Voom dishes (one pointed at 61.5 and one at 110) and an SW21 switch to receive just the HD channels. I bought a used 6000 receiver, and it's working fine. Right now I'm just paying $15/month for the 16 HD channels (it'll go up $5 about 5 months from now). I'm actually considering...

Currently, my 6000 is working fine at 720p. I had to adjust the picture to the left about 5 clicks, but after doing that it's looking great. On my setup (Optoma H31 projector) it actually looks superior to 1080i. That's only because of my PJ though. Most people will probably find 1080i to be better.

Stacy, thanks very much for the info. You were right, ajusting the picture to the left did the trick. I think I moved it 5 clicks to the left and now I'm having no trouble using 720p with the 6000. Thanks again!!

I recently picked up a 6000 HD receiver and subscribed to just the HD/Voom package. Overall, I'm happy with it except that most of the channels look horrible over 720p with my receiver. 1080i is much better. The problem, though is that my projector (Optoma H31) puts out a much sharper picture...

I'm not paying the extra $99 for the exact same thing I had last year. That's just nuts. Yes, I can afford it, but it's the principle of the matter. I know some people will gladly let DirecTV get away with anything and happily accept it, but I'm not one of them. I'm going to cancel my ST...
