    BestBuy and ValueElectronics are taking pre-orders for Toshiba HD DVD!

    I understand and.....that would probably also require Doug to have placed an order too! Do you think you will be able to deliver, out of your first batch, to all that have ordered at this time? Regards, Mel

    BestBuy and ValueElectronics are taking pre-orders for Toshiba HD DVD!

    Having just placed my order for the Toshiba HD DVD unit yesterday....was just wondering if you will follow past practice, as with the Hughes HR10-250, and be able to post the "standings" of your customers in the order line.....so that we can spend endless more hours talking about such and to see...

    ****My rant against PQ on New Encoders****

    Totally agreed on your observations.....and while watching the Florida Marlins play against the Houston Astro's, yesterday, on Channel 340....the FSN FL station.....I observed this. A baseball that was NOT round.......rather it looked like a hexagonal apparatus.....a multi faceted stop sign...

    Anyone Notice IMPROVED Picture Quality Today?

    Same conditions here with this added enhancement....I have 3 different "services" for FSN FL......Brighthouse, DirecTV and VOOM. Channel 340 absolutely is the WORST of the 3, in picture quality... as I watch the current baseball game between the Marlins and the Astros. DirecTV seems to be...

    Mobile VOOM

    Yup, me too.....the 3rd install was a charm from VOOM. 1. They FINALLY installed the larger sized dish for the rain fade problems. 2. The later generation STB box appears to be bug free with the latest software. In other words........I got what I paid for......this time. With the 3...

    Mobile VOOM

    Well....I pass through your area every year on the way up to South Dakota and Wisconsin in the motorhome......SD to visit my 90 year old Dad and Wisconsin to attend the EAA aircraft convention. I will be certain to have the dish active and VOOM on when I pass through the Mobile area! To...

    Mobile VOOM

    With two receivers in the house for VOOM, along with several DirecTV receivers and a BrightHouse cable box...I had the wild hair to move something to the motorhome. I moved one of the VOOM STB's and to my happy surprise my in-motion satellite antenna swept the sky's and found the VOOM bird at...

    The Party is over...send BEER!

    Taken from a post by RickyMac back in August....... =========================================== Just one bet clairification: We call Voom on December 31, 2004, if they do not have 500,000 paying customers on that day, I will ship you the beer (case) of your choice (lets keep it under...

    Not happy with Voom & don't expect much

    The Party is over....send BEER RickyMac, If you could send me your Email address....I could then give you my mailing address...for the case of beer. Grin. Altho I have been absent on the forum since August...I am a current $1 customer and found the VOOM experience to have...

    Not happy with Voom & don't expect much

    You certainly have a rather unique style of writing.... However, I must say that you DID say what your experince has been and how you judge all of this "magic" from VOOM. I personally feel that there is way too much "shock and awe" for VOOM. Some people are more easily "awed" I...

    VOOM is moving along despite those who said that it was doomed...

    Biggles, <<I really tried to bite my tongue when I responded before. I really did>> Well, if you are in a biting mood...I have a different target for you. Bite it. I love your Avatar....your choice...my entertainment.

    Biggles, <<What you seem to not get thru your thick skull is that we want it now. Not 3 to 5 years from now.>>> You, with that reply and choice of words show me that you are infantile in nature. You are a great VOOM customer.

    VOOM is moving along despite those who said that it was doomed...

    Only 2% of DirecTV's customers have HD. Subtract from that the number of people who won't switch to Voom because Voom doesn't have ESPN, FOX, or any other number of SD channels that are important to them, those who have multiple TVs and the HW cost (or lease cost) would be probative, those who...

    <<<D* and E* will add HD channels today if they had the bandwith and if they could negotiate contracts>>> There will be a 7S satellite launch on MAY 2nd....for D. Bandwith will be there. Compelling content needs to come next. A HD DVR will be shipped...to me.....on March 29th...just...

    I took this post off of a different forum that I peruse each day....the TIVO HD PVR forum. The writer of the post...pasted in below is a "heavy hitter" with over 7500 posts on that site....the thread that he is writing about is the possibility of VOOM making an "imprint" on the HD world...

    Not happy with Voom & don't expect much

    Yup, I can take that bet....with some clarification......let me know if it then meets your willingness to continue with the wager. I would like to see that VOOM has a "current" and active subscriber base of 500,000 by the end of the year...not just 500000 total activations...we must count the...
