Well you do know the ability of CSR's to mess up the facts. It seems from this thread that a lot of people are being able to sign up today also, and I was told I had to call back on the 1st to get the promos. Or maybe that's why their paying $250 for the DVR. I wish E* would just post the...

Just called E* and here's what I was told. Promo for Voom customers switching 6 months free HD including the Voom channels (will be included in the HD pak and currently no additional charge) 6 months of the 180 SD channels at $19.99 Up to 4 room installation free (this is standard for...

Okay. I knew their HD promo loop came off a different sat than their service and that it was at 61.5.

Well Sears has decided who to market with the demise of Voom. I was in there this weekend and they're shoving E* down your throat as the HD provider. They got that lovely demo loop running that comes off of Rainbow 1 and bears no resemblence to their actual HD quality.

I doubt that. I do find it interesting tho' with the shutdown going on why a certain group of channels still show guide data while other channels guide data ends appropriately. Maybe something is going on that no one is talking about.

Actually zap2it guide data ends only for the HD Cienma channels 101-121 there is still quide data for the specialty channels 122-130 (Rush, Soundstage, etc.) all the way thru May 6th the and of zap2it's current timeline.

Zap2it guide data for the HD Cinema channels (101-121) ends early AM on May 5th (which makes since given the shutdown), but quide data for HDNews and the specialty channels (122-130) continues at least through the end of available data on May 3rd.

Always a possibilty, but I really doubt they'll be updating code. I'm sure in the long run it's possible, but it would require a major code rewrite and I don't see them laying out the money to engineers to rewite the code. Also if they were planning on doing that, they would have had to...

If I've got my numbers right, any cable company can easily get more than the required bandwidth for these 21 channels just by migrating some (or all) of their analog channels to digital.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the upcoming D* satellites strictly to provide LIL HD. LIL I don't need as much as I want more HD overall.

Even those on a pay by check status could be sent a bill and turned over to collection if they don't pay. Anyone got info and how to power the OTA antenna if Voom takes the boxes?

Assuming Voom wants the stb's back - What's the best way to power the OTA antenna Assuming Voom wants the stb's back, I can't see them expending the cost to have installers come out and collect them. I think the most likely scenario (if they actually want them back) would be to send out...

It was noted in another article (unfortunately I can't find the link now) that Dolan's main goal was HDTV and he wanted it delivered whether via satellite or cable (hence his agreement to the bid for Adelphia). Since they currently plan to continue to produce/market their 21 originals as a...

I wondering if he doesn't want to outlay the cash to move everyone to Rainbow2 until he makes sure he can save the company.

Starz Edge is now on 269. No sign of WGN

LOS ANGELES KTLA broadcasts HD OTA. Altho' I've never heard KTLA referred to as a superstation before.

1080i DVI to HDMI Yesterday eve Discovery HD had a lot of noise and Sci-Fi was very soft.

Potential New Voom Website? With the status change of Voom's current website, I got curious. Knowing that the past proposed new Voom spinoff company was calling itself Voom LLC, I decided to check out VOOMLLC.COM. Here's what I found. A new site apparently just registered yesterday (03/01)...

I don't see why the satellite would need different hardware. It's just transmitting a signal. The encoding would be done by the uplink station and the decoding by the stb. And isn't channel 700 where Voom is testing the MPEG 4?
