True, but then there are people who live in areas where ALL buried cables belong to a Baby Bell, a massive cable company, (Time Warner for me...) or the power company. I won't see FiOS for years. Why? Because it would cost Verizon tens of billions to lay their own lines to compete head on...

For goodness' sake! We need an HD news channel, DAMMIT! The bbc, CNN, and FOXnews need to get on the ball...

Got mine yesterday... Exactly. I was paid through April 27th. My bill was a proration for the last three days they were on-air. I owe it fair and square, and it was the best damn programming I've ever seen.

They don't have to. They signed the equipment... *ALL* equipment... over to you, so it's your problem, same as mine, and everyone else...

No joke... Really... We can talk all we like through these forums, but until I receive a letter, my voOm boxes will collect dust!

Keep the new stuff, and tell us about it. That way, if it works better, I have a new reason to contact Time Warner to raise holy hell that my 8300 blows applechunks and that I should receive a free month's bill... :D

Ha! So true... The 8300 pimps an HDMI port. I could not successfully connect my miniDV Sony camcorder to its firewire port. *grumbles*. Also I hear that when using HDMI, it DISABLES or SEVERELY DISRUPTS (still grumbling...) the other digital audio outputs. Seriously... How many people are using...

word to harmony, but... ...Word to Crestron!

Arrrrrrgggh! Alas, me'lady! He be askin' bout' things better left....... Undisturbed. He be warned, Arrrrrrrgh!

Ahem... Amen, Reverend!

Damn, you get more HD than I do... TWC in my area = 9 HD channels WITHOUT having to pay an obscene amount extra for their HD pack. (I am however counting showtime and HBO's HD channels.) Also, TWC in our area DOES NOT carry our local ABC which does indeed broadcast HD.

Dude, where do you live? Hmmm... I was on TW in North Carolina until Feb. of this year, and my cable bill, for television ONLY was $90+ dollars, and I DID NOT subscribe to their $8.95 HD pack, or anything premium except HBO and Showtime.

...A cheap equipment rental plan from the get go would have picked up some more subscribers. That's the ONLY reason I didn't sign up sooner. I didn't want to shell $1000 dollars or more to fulfill my three monitors.

Go with a front projector! True, true... There are LCD front projectors (decent ones!) selling for 3k and under now. But how many consumers are aware of that? Even someone in the market for a new HD set, willing to spend 2-3k wouldn't normally consider this option.

A saint... A saint ye' be, Missy!

Pirate ships be off the coast... VoOm flag be flyin', matey... Miss Vicky, keep yer bosom tight. We canno' have Bloody Dolan... Mishandlin' anything else... Th' silver dagger be a perfect gift for our... Reception with Scalawag Dolan an' his scurvy crew of mindless pups. Haaardeee Haarrrrrrr...

Good point... Even if a class-action lawsuit *were* possible, the ONLY solution for most voom subscribers would be a cash payoff, as cablevision has nothing else to offer such a geographically diverse crowd. If one were to study recent class-action suits, one would find that settlement usually...

The way the contract reads, IMO is that you own the dish and OTA antennae anyway. It's part of your installation price. In regards to the stbs, well... Some people *do* own them, so they can do as they damn well please with their own property. For those of us who rent the boxes, voom will have...

Waaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr! Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaar fair lady! (Arrrrrrrgh... Seem's Arrrrrgh be th' only good letter t' be usin'...) A wench, indeed! But cook, ye' not be doin'... You best know how to scuttle them thar ropes an' prepare t' board coward Dolan's ship... A wee lass...

...While you're at it... Dear Mr. Dolan, While you're at it, would you please buy the weather division from the Walt Disney Company, and turn the valve for east coast operations back to "normal"? Thanks for your concern.

Hey now... You're damn skippy I've dragged a tv into my backyard before... And scaled the powerline pole just to hack a few local channels! Ah, to be that stupid again...

Qeeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuaaaarrrr! These here decks better be swabbed with pixels, matey! You'd best be thinkin' of Dolby Digital if ye' don't wanna be walkin' me plank!

lol... let's start our own service... POV: Pirates of Voom network!

Good idea, but... lol... This sort of breach-of-contract would be one heck of a civil suit that would have to be brought on by half the subscribers to even be considered! Ugh...

Thank you for clarifying... Quite the good point. I do understand that the analog inputs are tougher for Hollywood and the MPAA to control, but they are already widely available and capable, is my point. Heck, one of my voom boxes is strapped up via component!
