    Signed up for twc, here is the offer they gave me

    I would go in and ask for the new 8300 model. I had to upgrade after someminor problems with the hard drive after saving so many prgrams. The newer box is much smoother, especially when going from standard to hd channels.

    Why are voOm's Movie Packs are more than Dish/Direct?

    if you're looking for movies, stay away from showtime and tmc. they have the worst movie lineup of all the movie packs. starz would have the best lineup for blockbusters and family movies. the biggest problem with starz on voom is the lack of channels. since you have two encores and two...

    WorldSport HD: Hockey : IIHF World Jr. Championships: Canada vs. Slovakia 8pm ET

    my only complaint about what I saw of this game, was that there was never a scoreboard or a clock on the screen. it made it hard to follow powerplays when you had no idea how long they had to go. other than that, the picture looked good.

    Junior Hockey Championship Schedule On WorldSport

    this should be good. I am a college hockey fan anyways and I just saw Michigan play last weekend. As much as it pains me to say it, they are really good (which is good for the USA, just not for my Buckeyes) This will also fill my hockey fix for awhile. I would love for voom to add college...

    PQ degraded with 7.26

    I think my pq is okay, but I've noticed a moving line from right to left that is mainly noticable on a dark screen. Is this my tv or does anyone else notice this? I only seem to notice it on hd channels, but maybe I don't pay enough attention ususally. wife's playing a video game or I'd check...

    Sundance Channel

    sundance is a showtime channel, and for some reason at this time we only have 9 premium channels from each provider (hbo, max, sho, starz). unfortunately showtime is the worst of these groups with two hd showtimes, hd tmc, and standard sho and tmc taking up 5 of the 9 channels. you would...

    Serious Voom Complaint.

    I would have to say thats your fault for not doing your own research. no matter what company cable or sat. I've ever talked to will pretty much tell you what you want to hear to get you to buy. www.voom.com it's there for a reason.
