    Cablevision Board To Debate Voom Fate

    I'm quite familiar with VOOM, and the quality is excellent. The point of my post was not to turn this into a VOOM vs Cable thing. I wanted to convey, especially to those who happen to reside in my area, how my feelings were with my HD Cable service, so in the event that VOOM gets canned, they...

    Cablevision Board To Debate Voom Fate

    Ahhhhh, Hello? Bingo. We have a winner over here. This world has become a "what have you done for me lately" world, or "what have you done for me this quarter" business world. There is no time to develp a "Vision" for the future, and "Build" a business. If it doesn't contribute steadily to the...

    Cablevision Board To Debate Voom Fate

    Ummm, Yes...Have it. Love it. How can you tell me that I don't have great service? I am the one who fires up my HDTV, and its absolutely stunning. And the monthly price for HD? Ahhhh, did I say FREE. As in, NO Monthly Charge for HD. How can you beat that? Have you had Comcast in North...

    Cablevision Board To Debate Voom Fate

    I've got Comcast in North Ridgeville, OH and my quality is excellent. I don't pay anything extra for HD than I do for digital cable. I always had Digital Plus, and when I added HD, they set my up with a nice Motorola HD box and HD programing with NO INCREASE in monthly cost. No box rental fee...

    Comcast HD in Cleveland

    OK, with the recent addition of Discovery-HD to my channel lineup I received a message through the DCT6200 about it. This is common practice with Comcast to communicate in this manner. NOW, also included in that message was this, "more new channels coming soon." Did anyone else receive this...

    Hitachi 46W500 vs. Toshiba 46HX83 ?

    I really can't say enough great things about Hitachi. I think all of the top models from manufactures like Hitachi, Toshiba, and Mits have the potential for amazing picture quality. What really pulled me towards Hitachi was the superior ability to tweak the picture offering the most flexiblity...

    Comcast HD in Cleveland

    Great News. Discovery-HD will be up and running and added to my channel lineup during the first week of July. I've been hounding Comcast about this, almost daily, and they finally got it done. Awesome. Now the only one left to add that I'm missing is CBS-HD and all of my needs will be complete...

    It won't be long before everyone has Discovery-HD, which is the way it should be. That is some amazing HD quality there. Comcast has finalized their nogotitions and its just a matter of the individual districts to add that channel, bandwidth permitting.

    I agree. I've been very impressed so far, and I haven't even done a major calibration yet, just DVE adjustments and it looks fantastic.

    I don't know how Digital Premier ala carte works. I don't pay a HDTV fee! Woo-hoo. But that might change in the future. I expect to pay something, but I'll take it free for now. What's even better is somehow they turned on my Cinemax-HD(which I never ordered) when I got HD hooked up and it...

    I tell the truth. Each city sets its own prices on the services it offers. I happen to be in an area that only charges $39.99 for the install of HD, and the HD box and HD programming is at NO MONTHLY CHARGE. Here is a copy of my bill. Account Detail This statement is for service from...

    And the quality of the HD sports broadcasts are really amazing. I find myself watching games that I otherwise wouldn't have in SD.
