    Any rumors of Voom on DTV?

    Yes, and the first channel to come has already been announced for this Summer on DirecTV (and certain cable companies). However, it's only an SD channel showing reality TV shows. ~Alan

    I'm impressed! Where are the 70 HD channels coming from though?! ~Alan

    New info in SEC doc filed 9/2

    That's what I'm saying, these stores and Sears in particular tend to crap out when it comes to high-end technology. I mean, I can talk circles around their salesmen and have on several occasions as I had a five minute discussion with the person in charge of the electronics department who kept...

    New info in SEC doc filed 9/2

    Yes! One of the things that Sean said might have been resposible for VOOM looking so badly was that it was set to output 480i or 480p, and I said that I didn't believe that was the case as I output my HD signals to 480i and they look incredible on my Flat-Screen Widescreen. Is my signal HD...

    New info in SEC doc filed 9/2

    Oh yeah, I read posts about VOOM occasionally, especially when they first started up, and I've read similar stories. However, in this case, I'd say it was none of the above as I'm sure the Dish 6000 was connected to multiple TVs, and I doubt it was hooked up correctly, yet it still looked tons...

    New info in SEC doc filed 9/2

    I never had any interest in getting VOOM, but I was curious as to what it was like, so just a little after VOOM started up, I decided to check it out one day when I happened to be at Sears. My local Sears has this little corner where most of the Projection HDTVs go (eight or nine maybe) with...

    Is it me or has ESPN-HD

    I don't have VOOM, but I must say that ESPN-HD has been looking pretty darn good on DirecTV too lately. Even though I have read negative comments about that channel, since that's the only 720p channel I have, I often blamed the PQ on it not being 1080i, but I've really been impressed with some...

    VOOM per-subscriber equipment as low as $249?

    I figure the reason why it was $750 at first was because of the months of free programming. Now that the free programming is winding down, the price of the equipment will go down. You don't get programming for free unless you put up an antenna! ;) ~Alan

    Why VOOM deserves a service award...

    Not really about VOOM per se (although I could tell some funny stories about Sears when I was checking out VOOM), but last month I sent a inquiry to a local cable company, Mediacom over their website last month to find out if they have expanded their coverage area to our home for when they...

    When did Voom go live?

    I got a picture in my mind of a giant satellite running amok in Japan stomping on people. Sorry, just had to share... ;) ~Alan<~~~~~~~~~Where's Matthew Broderick when you need him?!
