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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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.

Yes, I'm positive.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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?

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...

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.

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...

Do you have to be in standby mode in order to receive the update? Can someone please confirm. Thanks.

Philips tv service menu I'm able to enter the Philips tv service menu by pressing 062596 then pressing the 'exit' button. I have to press the 'menu' button to save my settings. Hope that helps.

I also have to press 'menu' to save settings.

Dvlos, I had the same problem with the slight leftward shift on my Philips tv. I was able to get into the service menu and quickly fix the problem. I was able to adjust 1080i settings for Voom and 480p for my xbox. It's my understanding that all Philips tv's use the same code to enter the...

Whether I'm happy with a 32" screen is not the point. Your ridiculous comment about needing a 50" or larger screen to notice hd is what I chose to address. Which, btw, is still a ridiculous comment.

I just don't understand where this myth comes from. I have a 32" hdtv and the difference between sd and hd is mind boggling. HD is HD regardless of screen size. I've seen 40" to 50" generic brand hdtv's that don't look quite as sharp as my 32". Now, I would definately agree that sd signal...

While it's never a bad idea to confirm any transaction (Voom or any other company), I thought I'd post a different experience with Voom. I ordered Voom through the website, installer showed up on the scheduled date and all went well. I have yet to call Voom customer service (a good thing...

Okay, I may get beat up for saying this but I actually like the pg. I find it quite useful to filter content by 'sports', 'hd', 'movies', etc.. The half hour display thing is a little strange and hopefully will be corrected. It doesn't bother me one bit to click the voom button then select...
