    THE OFFICAL ANYTHING ABOUT FOXHD THREAD

    I thought it looked good. During the gamebreaks and when they went to bonus coverage of the Cards-Astros game I thought the NL game looked better. Maybe all the reds in the crowd helped out.

    Fox HD Transponder Info

    Me too. My work production has been horrible today. Fox is more important then any other network in HD for me. I can get the others OTA if necessary, Fox I cannot.

    TNT, FOX, Other HD ... {RANT}

    Re: Fox. Fox-HD has to be better then that crap I watched in SD last night from the NYC local on D*. It really was unwatchable. If I wasn't such a big baseball fan I would have turned it off. And to think I have to watch the Giants and Cowboys like that on Sunday. Sucks.

    TNT, FOX, Other HD ... {RANT}

    Slacker - As a former Legal Aid attorney I am offended by your opening comment. I've been practicing 10 years and some of the best legal writers I have encountered were/are Legal Aid lawyers. The letter seems fine but I still want FOX-HD E/W for the LCS next week!

    D* is moving Prem. HD Channels to the 70's

    I thought the tennis looked better last night then on Monday night. The SD camera shots are horrible though.

    CBS HD Picture

    SD programming is pillar boxed. I also noticed the 2.0 audio on Saturday night's game. Haven't found an explanation. The previous week's game was in 5.1.

    VOOM Installations

    Frustrated :( Well, the installer arrived today on-time after postponing last friday. I was all ready for him but was not sure where he was going to choose to put the dish. He wasn't in my yard for 2 minutes and said mounting the dish on my house is out as the leaves from one tree in the...

    My Voom Saga Begins

    A quick update. Yesterday I contacted Installs Inc. to confirm a new date as 6/4 was not possible according to the installer. The Installs Inc. CSR was quite helpful and connected me directly w/ Star Satellite, the install co. We decided on 6/9 as my install date but when I mentioned the...

    My Voom Saga Begins

    Voom does not have a self-install option. It must be done by one of their contracted installers. The CSR mentioned on Sunday that a self-install option may not be far away. I wanted to order before 5/31 with the current deal being offered. So self-install is out for me.

    My Voom Saga Begins

    Well here we go. After reading some of the nightmare scenarios posted here I am now beginning to have my own. Signed up for Voom on Sunday - no problems, the CSR even verified the install date with Installs Inc. - it was all good. I was psyched. Last night I receive a call from an installer...

    Will TNT logo damage a plasma

    The on screen game score/clock on Fox and others during football games switches sides of the screen depending on the direction the team with the ball is going in. It is not done randomly or on a rotational basis.

    Call or order online?

    The CSR did acknowledge the equipment shortage, however, she double checked for me after I mentioned it. Also she told me she was in Vancouver, WA and that they just opened a new call center in TX to handle the volume. She said they were very very busy.

    Call or order online?

    Just ordered on-line but had to set up my install date on the telephone. The website froze up on me. The phone CSR was very nice and seemed somewhat knowledgeable. She even made a call to confirm my install date of 6/4. Looking forward to it.
