Does anyone know if/when they add ESPN2-HD and/or TNT-HD if they will be in the MPEG2 format - i.e., I'll still be able to use my existing hardware to view it? I assume that whatever the other x many channels that are supposed to be coming later will all be MPEG4. Can anyone clarify?

Well, in my neighborhood, there used to be two Voom dishes (mine and some other guy's). Now, there are none. Voom will likely get me back if/when the DVR finally comes out (and they have ESPN2-HD). We'll see about my neighbor. ;)

They will get me back as a customer if they add: 1. HD DVR - especially with a lease option 2. ESPN2-HD In order for them to succeed in the long-term, they need to: 3. Allow self-installs 4. Properly train their installers 5. Get into BB and CC What I'd love to see: 6. Ability...

It's live on D* - FYI ... channel 90. But only two programs a weeks - Wed and Thurs night. Two different "Games of the Week." Maybe I'll set the HDTivo and check it out. ;)

I just switched from Voom to D*. The only reason was to get the HDTivo. For the record, I would have preferred to stay with Voom if both had DVR options. A lot of their HD exclusives are worthless fluff, but a lot of it is pretty cool stuff. I already miss WorldsportHD A LOT. But, fact...

You're not getting the "real" HDNet. That's why the program guide isn't accurate. My local Fox affiliate also shows this version of "HDNet" during the day on weekdays instead of simulcasting the regular Fox programming. HDNet provides this collection of old shows to affiliates OTA. That's...

Thanks!

Well, my HDTivo arrived and my new dish is installed (the V* one taken down). But when I called V* to cancel, they offered me a credit to "wait and see." So, I'd like to put the Voom dish back up - at least temporarily - does anyone know the appropriate coordinates? FWIW - the CSR I...

So, you're argument is that since Voom's PQ is consistently lacking, that's better than D* because there's is only lacking some of the time and on some of the channels? Ok. Got it.

Yeah, might as well say Voom has their 21 Voom exclusives and 2 Voom excludeds ;)

That same message has been posted in various forums WORD FOR WORD for the last 6 months.

Well, I don't agree with either of these things. 1) I'm not waiting for D* to add any channels. I don't subscribe to any movie packages, so I'm not missing anything there. The only things Voom has that D* doesn't (in the Voom package) is TNT-HD and the 21 exclusives. I get TNT-HD via...

WOW! Good point.

This is one of the funniest things I have ever read in this forum. ROTFLMAO!

You see the same complaints here. In fact, I suspect that's what your "up the Bandwidth, Voom" on your signature is all about. ;)
