    Sorry to say, SD you gotta go...

    LOL :) This thread is too funny! While I wish everything was available in HD, that just ain't the case. I would miss out on damn near everything I like to watch: College football - any real fan of a team sure as hell isn't going to tune in to another game solely because the other one is in...

    Sorry to say: VOOM's gotta go

    I can't address the pq problems with the TWC HD-DVR but I sure can tell you that there are no rental fees or any other hidden charges. No contracts either and the deal I have is valid for 1 year. Trust me, I know the perils of dealing with Time Warner and I may go crazy after 1 month and...

    Sorry to say: VOOM's gotta go

    Who the hell are you? I didn't start this thread as a gripe session against Voom. I can say whatever the heck I please on this forum. Don't read it if it bothers you. Some of you act as if Voom is the only option that anyone with any amount of sense would ever choose - they rest are a bunch...

    Sorry to say: VOOM's gotta go

    I certainly considered doing exactly what you suggested. I guess the thought of having the HD DVR weighed heavily in my decision. Again, I'm not blaming Voom for anything. I've done all the research one can do re: OTA. I know that I'm 8.9 miles away from the tower and my ota needs to be...

    Sorry to say: VOOM's gotta go

    800 watts? Surely your kidding, if not, that is stone cold ridiculous. No wonder I couldn't get the signal.

    Sorry to say: VOOM's gotta go

    Damn chief, you got me all mixed up with some PW'd punk :-) That ain't me!! I already have hdnet through DTV and BD is a favorite. I'm locked in on this deal for 1 year. If after that, the price increase is too much to handle, I have no beef moving on to the next deal.

    Sorry to say: VOOM's gotta go

    Yeah, the catfight with disney and twc really sucks. Believe me, I really though long and hard and decided that even without espn-hd, the deal was too good to pass up.

    Sorry to say: VOOM's gotta go

    I'm less than 10 miles away from the towers. According to the installer, tall trees and buildings may cause the signal to "bounce around" at times. Hell, I don't understand it either but what I do understand is glares and stares from the rest of the house when watching a program and suddenly...

    Sorry to say: VOOM's gotta go

    I don't blame Voom at all. Even if I had the biggest, baddest antenna I could find, I still couldn't get all my locals. The local Fox affiliate transmits such a weak signal that it's impossible to pick up. Here in Austin TX, if you want the local Fox, you have to get it through twc or sat. I...

    Sorry to say: VOOM's gotta go

    Thanks to all the wonderful peeps in this forum that work so hard (harder than VOOM CSR's!!) to help bring V off the ground. Unfortunately, I'm cancelling my sub due to OTA issues. My OTA has been upgraded 3 times and I still suffer from very erratic signal loss. Sometimes the signal is solid...

    New Channels and Olympics on VOOM?

    Scott, Why would these channels appear in the zap2it guide for my area code? (512). If these were truly regional channels, should I not see them?

    VOOM: Promo Gone! New Prices...

    Well, of course we could play the "imagine if" scenario all day. If VOOM were to raise the vava voom package another $10 in the very near future, that would be a deal killer for quite a few customers, maybe including myself. I'm only saying that a $10 increase does not bother me considering the...

    VOOM: Promo Gone! New Prices...

    What's the matter with you people? The VaVaVoom package is increasing a measly 10 bucks and VOOM is adding channels left and right. You people think they're able to add all the new channels for free? Geez.

    New Channels and Olympics on VOOM?

    Sports and movies=more subs. The fact that the new Fox RSN's are about to appear (hopefully?) should indicate that VOOM has done their homework on what will bring in the most new customers. BTW, everyone will most likely receive all of the new Fox RSN's. While each RSN does have regional content...

    samsung 360 with non hd channels

    Don't know if it's a bad receiver but I noticed the same also. SD channels look decent on my DTV Philips Tivo but look really poor on the Samsung 360. If I didn't have the Tivo, I don't know if I'd be able to watch SD on the Samsung. I'm viewing the SD channels through the component hd...

    Fox Sports Net

    No kiddin'. My wife hasn't yet bought into voom - missing way too many of her fav sd channels. I'm sure hoping a year from today I'm not still paying for 2 satellite services.

    OTA upgrade: Winegard HD7210P Ghost Killer

    I'm scheduled for an ota upgrade and wanted to know if anyone has had any positive or negative experiences with the winegard hd7210p "ghost killer". I currently have the winegard sensor II which has done a decent job. I'm able to pickup nbc, abc and wb but flaky reception on cbs and pbs. I...
