    We Really Had It Great With Voom!!

    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...

    Considering TWC...have questions need answers

    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...

    It's yours

    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...

    HD ONLY Package Pricing at Dish Network..

    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?

    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

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    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?

    Another rabbit in C. Dolan's hat?

    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.

    Adelphia and Time Warner listed as Cable Providers on MonstersHD.com?

    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...

    Watching Inhd1 & 2 under sunny skies in Arizona

    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?

    Los Angeles Voomers - What's your choice for new provider?

    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

    My Offers from DirecTV and Time Warner Cable

    Update – I called DirecTV last night – HD DVR Offer Retracted I called DirecTV last night to try to get the HD DVR deal in writing and was told that they would not honor the offer made the night before. I believe I was completely misled. I know there was a great deal of skepticism about...

    My Offers from DirecTV and Time Warner Cable

    As I said, I will get it in writing from the DirecTV manager I spoke to last night. But, I specifically wanted an HD DVR and we talked quite a bit about its capabilities and features likes its dual SAT input and its inability presently to record the locals in HD. But, after reading some of the...

    My Offers from DirecTV and Time Warner Cable

    I simply asked them if they had any special offers that would entice me to go back to them. I told them I am a current satellite subscriber and that is when they made the offer. I think they called the offer their “Welcome back from Satellite” deal.

    My Offers from DirecTV and Time Warner Cable

    CDH, Thanks for the link. It looks like the HR10-250 is an HD DVR.

    My Offers from DirecTV and Time Warner Cable

    I'll call again and check to verify but am pretty confident with the offer. I even talked to him about being able to record local HD on the DVR and he said I would not be able to do so until the Fall 2005. By the way, who makes the DirecTV HR10-250?

    My Offers from DirecTV and Time Warner Cable

    I thought about that too, but that is what the DirecTV manager told me. I even asked him if I could get two HD DVRs and he said he can only offer me one. He also said that I would not have a choice as far brands are concerned, either the Samsung or Hughes. Perhaps I am getting this really...
