    Should we be getting calls from Installs, Inc Installers already?

    I'd call him back and ask what he wants. If it's a sales call, I'd tell him I was on the national DO NOT CALL list, and that if he called again, I'd file a complaint against him :) That usually makes them go away... Lob

    Express Vu/Star Choice Satellite

    We already get NASCAR in HD on both Fox and NBC. The problem was with production equipment, not with the carriers. We do NOT, however, get boobs in HD. :) Lob

    VOOM's Convenient Auto-pay Program

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

    I wonder if the folks that are seeing blocking all have fixed-pixel displays... Lob

    New channels look bad!

    Onay, Perhaps your set is more prone to pixelation problems. Darrel, Have you EVER been happy with your PQ? Not that I can recall in the yr that I've been reading stuff here. Lob

    New channels look bad!

    "I have all three hoocked up to my DLP..... voom by far is the best.... then D* and last E*" As seen above, not everyone's "PQ" assessment/experience is the same. I still have great PQ on my HD channels...and I don't watch any of the SD stuff so can't really comment. My HD PQ surpasses what...

    I guess I just see a difference between rumor and news. The "confirmed" sorta put me off a bit too ;) Lob

    Iowa, What could possibly make you think that this guy's business has ANY idea about the inner workings of financing this deal? He went to a meeting, that wasn't even part of VOOM, and he heard a rumor. Yay. Lob

    Ok...now let's think about this for just a few seconds, k? "Very well versed installer for Central-Eastern Iowa & Western Illinois confirmed that investors have placed copious amounts of greenbacks into the company...and that several-many new stations will be added...soon." Now how do you...

    Another NoCall NoShow

    Well...add my name to the No call/No show list. My install last December went well. They were supposed to come back yesterday for an antenna upgrade. Wife took the afternoon off to be there. Granted we had a storm on Tuesday, but things were cleaned up by Wed afternoon, and it goes without...

    DVD movies

    For the VOOM originals, I believe I read some time ago that they had contracted a firm to perform HD transfers from original film...so NOT just upconverted. These HD xfrs are "VOOM exclusives"...bought and paid for by VOOM. Lob

    How Will Voom Do It?

    Rickster, I "slightly" disagree with a few of your points. :) Most people I know in the NorthEast get their locals (or could) from cable for about $10/mo. That includes small towns in Maine, NH, Vermont and Mass. So I don't think that carrying SD locals is a "must have" for VOOM. Why do you...

    So now that voOm looks like its going to survive what does it need to change?

    Thanks. That had the SD list, which was interesting. Wonder what the other HD channels will be. Guess we'll all know soon enough... Lob

    So now that voOm looks like its going to survive what does it need to change?

    " I have seen the channles they are adding for March and am excited about it." Do you have a link? I've been poking around every now and then looking for that info, but haven't tripped over it yet? Lob

    POLL: Your Most Favorite Channels on VOOM

    I don't usually watch discovery on VOOM...so didn't really think of that one. Two days after we got VOOM, we were watching probably the 10th show on Rave, and my wife said "You know...this one channel almost makes the bill worth it." :) Lob

    Ok pertinent question regarding OTA and Equipment

    There are OTA tuners available on Ebay. You can also use a MyHD card in a PC, which will give you HD+DVR functions as well :) Lob

    Cancelled before install

    So for zubin and Voomster...exactly WHY do you folks even bother posting here? You say that the exclusive channels are worthless. To whom? You, maybe...but one man's pill is another man's poison. I don't like Honda 's, but I'll be damned if I'm going to waste my time posting on a forum...
