    Directv CD USA

    So what would you expect? Did you think Rupert Murdock was gonna call you back and redress your grievances with you? It's a big F***ing company. I'm really looking forward to CD USA having some cool bands/artists (As opposed to "shake that Laffy Taffy" ) the crap that is on right now. I think it...

    Chase Carey Voom Sticky (Cat Fight Version):

    I knew Chase's statement would piss a lot of you off, that's why I posted it. But really, HD, as available today, off-air and from the satellite, is great. WTF do you have to compare it to that's so much better. When you get right down to it, the main issue here is impatience. You guys are just...

    Chase Carey Voom Sticky (Cat Fight Version):

    It's funny, the "Chase Carey QnA Recap" thread, which is full of info (and I spent a long time on it--(You're welcome:D )--has only been viewed 1/10 as many times as the "Chase Carey calls VoOm crap" thread. It's kinda sad, actually. I guess it shows that a lot of people only come here to bitch...

    Chase Carey QnA Recap

    Cum-cast Yeah, f***in Cumcast sux. I tried it, because I got it free along with internet service at a discounted rate. It still sucked so bad... I could not watch it. Granted, I tried to watch it. That was only because I could switch over and watch D* at any moment. I could not tolerate that...

    Chase Carey calls VoOm "crap"...

    All I’m saying is just look at the great picture and enjoy it and quit analyzing the bitrate and creating so much drama... HDTV looks great right now and it will continue to improve and get even better but Jesus Christ give it a minute. It takes time to put up satellites, pull fiber, or...

    Chase Carey calls VoOm "crap"...

    Satmeister, Once again, you are the voice of reason! I understand that things aren't perfect, but all this crying and analyzing the bitrate, etc... just watch the F***ing TV and enjoy it, for crying out loud! If it causes you so much pain, maybe you should go outside and play or...

    Chase Carey calls VoOm "crap"...

    Sean, Yeah of course I can see the difference. I was exaggerating (slightly) before, but my real point is just that, Jesus Christ, OK, it's not perfect but it looks DAMN GOOD. And it will get better, it will just take a while. I don't know what kind of TV you have but as I've said before, I...

    Chase Carey calls VoOm "crap"...

    Keenan, thanks...yeah, it's coming. Sorry I didn't have time to do it yet. I was wondering if anybody was even interested with all the negative bitching and whining you get around here.

    What would you ask Chase Carey?

    boston, do you use HDMI or component with your SXRD? I also have the 50" and I love it. I have a used HR10-250 and I don't know if the HDMI port works or not. I am currently using component and the picture is so awesome I have a hard time believing it could be any better with HDMI. But I don't...
