    NO new BD rentals from BlockBuster Online? wtf?

    Do any of you rent BD from Blockbuster Online? I subscribe, and I am pissed that they still show the same 30 pages of BD titles for almost 6 months. No new BD titles in a long time! My BD queue is just about empty, and I am going to cancel my subscription if they don't have some new BD...

    Voom's last week is "Turn Off TV Week"

    It is ironic that Voom's last week of service coincides with "National TV Turn-off Week". I will celebrate TV Turn-off Week next week after Voom is dead, and for all foreseeable weeks... Snippet from the article: TV Turn-Off Week: Take Up The Challenge by Sound Vision Staff Writer...

    "DOC HD" bumpers?

    Last night I saw on FilmFestHD a series of about 4 or 5 "DOC HD" channel ID bumpers, like they were announcing "DOC HD" as the new channel name. The bumpers came on just before a short documentary about a woman who repairs old mechanical watches and clocks in NYC. Someone put a lot of work...

    The wager with Mel Ott? (Tarmack)

    Does anybody here remember Mel Ott, the troll who made a bet with somebody on the forum that Voom would not get 50k subscribers by the end of 2004? I think the bet was a case of beer? Who made that bet with him? If nobody remembers, I guess it goes in the dust bin of history along with...
