Like most of the responses in this thread, I miss Voom tremendously. Sadly, the only time I get to use the two Voom boxes is when the HD signal from one of the local channels is weak and the picture starts to breakup. The Voom box does not have this problem and the PQ is a bit sharper as well...

Should work, I still have my phone line connected.

I have had TWC for about 3 weeks now. The HD DVR is great and easy to use. However, there are just not enough HD channels. I really miss Monsters, World Cinema, FU and Universal HD. Overall, the PQ is a mixed bag. The lower local channels are very inconsistent, sometimes watchable...

This is great news! I had TWC installed over the weekend and compared the local channel HD PQ from cable with the PQ from the Voom receiver. The picture was clearly better with the Voom receiver, quite significantly in fact. This will give me the option of using the Voom receiver instead...

I asked Dish about this same thing ($250 lease fee) and they could not guarantee that I would be able to get the mpeg4 DVR without incurring another fee. As a result, I am getting TW cable instead. I will wait for everything to sort out until committing to another SAT company. With no...

Are there any Voomers that are going with StarChoice Satellite? Anyone Voomers out there with any experience with this Canadian Sat company? I understand that certain areas of the US are able to pickup programming. http://www.starchoice.com

Does anyone know how DISH gets HD local channels?

I believe the programming found in FU will be played on GuyTV. Does anyone know if they will keep the multiplex format (2 movies repeated throughout the day) for the movie channels or change the format, similar to Monsters?

Great News! I am canceling my TWC installation for this Saturday and signing up with Dish!

Indy, I appreciate your enthusiasm and your obvious desire for Voom to continue, but I think you’re grasping at straws, at best… Voom as a SAT provider is done.

Yeah, Monsters is a great channel, although I did not like it when they ran an entire day of a movie franchise. I mean, I just could not watch 8 hours of Godzilla and company. Not that I ever had 8 hours to watch continuously. But, if Monsters was playing Godzilla, that was basically the...

I agree. I am really going to miss the Voom Originals the most. Cinema10 & Monsters are absolutely unique channels compared with your regular premium channels. Monsters, World Cinema and FU, where else can find that kind of HD programming?

I will probably go with Time Warner Cable. They are offering a pretty good deal for Satellite subscribers: $20 off the basic cable package of $39.99 for 20 months, so $19.99 for 20 months! $9.95 for the HD pac $40 – HD DVR package with 4 premiums
