Does anyone know if/when they add ESPN2-HD and/or TNT-HD if they will be in the MPEG2 format - i.e., I'll still be able to use my existing hardware to view it? I assume that whatever the other x many channels that are supposed to be coming later will all be MPEG4. Can anyone clarify?

Well, in my neighborhood, there used to be two Voom dishes (mine and some other guy's). Now, there are none. Voom will likely get me back if/when the DVR finally comes out (and they have ESPN2-HD). We'll see about my neighbor. ;)

They will get me back as a customer if they add: 1. HD DVR - especially with a lease option 2. ESPN2-HD In order for them to succeed in the long-term, they need to: 3. Allow self-installs 4. Properly train their installers 5. Get into BB and CC What I'd love to see: 6. Ability...

It's live on D* - FYI ... channel 90. But only two programs a weeks - Wed and Thurs night. Two different "Games of the Week." Maybe I'll set the HDTivo and check it out. ;)

I just switched from Voom to D*. The only reason was to get the HDTivo. For the record, I would have preferred to stay with Voom if both had DVR options. A lot of their HD exclusives are worthless fluff, but a lot of it is pretty cool stuff. I already miss WorldsportHD A LOT. But, fact...

You're not getting the "real" HDNet. That's why the program guide isn't accurate. My local Fox affiliate also shows this version of "HDNet" during the day on weekdays instead of simulcasting the regular Fox programming. HDNet provides this collection of old shows to affiliates OTA. That's...

Thanks!

Well, my HDTivo arrived and my new dish is installed (the V* one taken down). But when I called V* to cancel, they offered me a credit to "wait and see." So, I'd like to put the Voom dish back up - at least temporarily - does anyone know the appropriate coordinates? FWIW - the CSR I...

So, you're argument is that since Voom's PQ is consistently lacking, that's better than D* because there's is only lacking some of the time and on some of the channels? Ok. Got it.

Yeah, might as well say Voom has their 21 Voom exclusives and 2 Voom excludeds ;)

That same message has been posted in various forums WORD FOR WORD for the last 6 months.

Well, I don't agree with either of these things. 1) I'm not waiting for D* to add any channels. I don't subscribe to any movie packages, so I'm not missing anything there. The only things Voom has that D* doesn't (in the Voom package) is TNT-HD and the 21 exclusives. I get TNT-HD via...

WOW! Good point.

This is one of the funniest things I have ever read in this forum. ROTFLMAO!

You see the same complaints here. In fact, I suspect that's what your "up the Bandwidth, Voom" on your signature is all about. ;)

Dvlos, you've recently become my favorite poster. I'll miss you and hopefully so will Frances - though I hope it doesn't head this way, either.

Yeah, here's the problem. You could be waiting two months, you COULD be waiting until Sept 2005. You just don't know. And what if the Voom DVR costs $1000? You also don't know it won't - and with the multi-room features, it certainly isn't unreasonable. As far as followers - I'm not...

Haha. Ok, that makes sense! :)

I agree. The problem is you CAN'T record it! I would also rather have a Voom/DVR with a lease than a D*/HDTivo purchase. That's just not a choice. The choice is - D*/HDTivo or Voom/nothing. I pick D*/HDTivo. $1000 is a small price for freedom. Happy waiting/hoping. PS - As they...

Are you talking about the HDTivo? The changes would only affect the satellite and switches - not your box. It's not like they're moving to WM9 or something.

Look at your last post - that's not at all what you said. Still, VaVaVoom WOULD give them more movie channels (not 3x) - but would cost an extra $40/mo. Regardless, my main issue is that you claimed they could pay Voom $30/mo and get what they're getting plus more HD channels. Which isn't...

Really, for $30? You could get all the channels they get? Considering the base price for Voom is $49.90 + $9.50 1 IRD rental (+ $200 installation), and the price for D* is $36.99 for Total Choice (OTA for locals) + $10.99 for the HD package, I find that hard to believe. Obviously, your...

Not in HD you can't! I have an SD tivo. I didn't get Voom to watch it timeshifted in SD!! (PS - what a pain it must be to have to "hit record" when watching Live TV if you want to timeshift - as I assume you then have to go erase it from the saved shows on your hard drive. Tivo is so...

I'll agree that VaVaVoom probably beats D* and an HDTivo - assuming you have the time to work around the movie showtimes. I'm not much for watching a movie halfway through. But for "regular" Voom - it's TNT-HD and the 21 exclusives vs. HDNets and a DVR. And according to "insider...

Is it just me or has this been a VERY hot topic lately? :)
