    Tyler Enhanced 1 & 2 Chad, I am in Tyler also, and although I am currently with Cox cable, I had Dish for many years previous to this. When Voom went dark, I switched to Cox rather than back to Dish because cable's PQ was MUCH better in SD than Dish and their HD is full bandwidth and...

    Cox Selling off a very big chunk of their markets...

    Neutron, I am in Tyler, and the PQ for Cox is very good. Analog and digital. The HD content, though slim in number, is very good. Much better than Voom. I talked to the tech in charge of the head-end unit and he said that they were passing the bandwidth through to the cable exactly as they...

    Cox Selling off a very big chunk of their markets...

    I'm with you Neutron, this will affect us for sure. I went to Cox Digital cable after loosing Voom and I have been very pleased with the picture quality. At least it will take quite a while to make the change-over, giving us time to make other plans, except the internet and that has been...

    Call from V* about E*

    I just got a recorded call from Voom telling me that they have made arrangements with E* to switch service over to them and were telling me to call E* now to get some special offer. I left E* to go to Voom and am not going back. I have already made the switch to Cox Digital Cable in my area...

    Thank you from Voom CSR's

    Getting a big Thanks from the CSRs is a happy suprise. It is we the customers who should be thanking you for being so professional and pleasant. I never had to call much, but when I did I always had a pleasant experience. After dealing with E* CSRs calling Voom was a breath of fresh air...

    Express Vu/Star Choice Satellite

    Can someone tell me what are the legal ramifications involved in getting the Canadian Sat service (either one) in the US? Is it technically legal? What about these "brokers" I have heard about, and which ones are reliable? I have heard that some of them are complete rip-offs! Thanks

    who bought a hd tv just to get voom?

    I voted No. I didn't discover Voom until months after I bought my Mits 65". I was with Dish and was delighted to get Voom after reading about it on this forum for the first time. I held off for a while but decided it would be worth it to switch after my year obligation from Dish Mover was...

    DVR SOLOUTION - For VOOM on your MAC

    gross67, I am buying the iMac G5 20", due to be delivered sometime next week, and I have been wondering the same thing. I have a PC with TV capture card now and love it, so a good solution for the Mac is the first thing (besides a memory upgrade) that I will be considering. There is also an...

    All Available HD Channels Information

    Well, for one, the SciFi Channel is in HD in Canada, but not in the US yet. That could be one that they are trying to get. I hope so. I know there has been talk of broadcasting it in HD here for a while now.

    VOOM and Windows Media Center

    I take it you mean the Theater 550 and yes it is supposed to have a great PQ, but it won't do HD. They do have a digital TV card but it won't allow HD input from an external source either, just OTA digital broadcasts. No other company has one either for now. Sorry.

    Wow!!! It is Eerily quiet on this board today

    Did it occur to anybody that the deliberations might run into tomorrow (perish the thought!)? They might just adjourn until tomorrow with no decision.....I don't know how much more of this I can take.....one can only put one's life on hold for so long....

    Wow!!! It is Eerily quiet on this board today

    CNBC and MSNBC are back now...but they did have some major difficulties with their satellite transmissions. Don't think I missed anything. <big sigh!!!>

    VOOM and Windows Media Center

    Forget it.....can't happen right now as there is no hardware available that capture HD due to copyright constraints. I am connected also through WinXP and can only use the Svideo connection. When copyright protected cards are released, they will probably connect through firewire or usb2.0 to...

    Wow!!! It is Eerily quiet on this board today

    I just noticed that CNBC and MSNBC have gone dark. Scared the crap out of me until I realized that all the other Voom channels seem to be working ok. I was only watching CNBC to see if any news was forthcoming about Voom......Ah well, we will have to find another source.

    Scott, I have every faith in you to pull that one off......you've had more than one coup in the past, and I won't underestimate your chances of pulling it off again...... GO SCOTT!!

    DirecTV CEO leaving...could it be to head the New Voom

    Truqui, it's possible I guess, but not probable. I, for one, think it could be a good deal for Voom to have someone with that kind of experience at the helm. Who knows what Chuck will do if he gets control today......it might be an interesting twist, though, don't you think?

    Echostar (DISH Network) purchases VOOM HDTV from Cablevision? No.

    This is obviously a retailer trying to get sales. They seem to not know the difference, (or care about the difference) of buying the hardware and the entire Voom enterprise. Is it possible they know something that NO-ONE else knows? Probably not.

    Dead pixels

    Shawn, this has been discussed before and Voom is aware and working on the problem...the short workaround is to call up the guide (press the VOOM button) then press the view button and that should clear up the artifacts. If not, I just cycle the STB off then back on and then it goes away.
