Seventeen is actually legal in many states. As far as HD, I'd love a federal standard on what is and isn't, but I just don't see it happening.

I don't think we'll have any luck with this. I've sent numerous letters to the FTC about silicon implants, false advertisement, and strip bars for many years now with nary a response.

Did anyone else read about Time Warner? Apparently they were in the running for MGM, and have now moved on to looking at Adelphia or Cablevision.

I haven't watched the Cinema 9 in a month b/c of the OAR issue and the PG. I kept setting aside time to watch The Terminator and Hoosiers and they wouldn't be on. If they can actually work these things out, that'll be great. Good job Voom for doing the right things, eventually.

So no timetable on DVR, DVR pricing, new dish, MPEG 4, or even a timetable on getting a timetable? But you made new contacts who are reluctant now but may later be less reluctant to give a timetable on the timetable? To satguys: Thanks for going and getting more info on DVR. I'm miffed at...

My brother is one of these people. He just watches OTA-HD in Houston b/c he works so much. The guy who bought my old set just watches OTA analog and DVDs. I tell them both they're idiots, but they seem happy. It amazes me that people w/ HDTVs don't use it to its fullest extent.

Glad someone enjoyed it. No pants and a bad reception? Reminds me of a time when one could squint and make out shapes on scrambled cable porn.

Well, I called Voom to try to change my address. Here's my story: Me: I signed up 5-6 months ago. I recently moved. Well, not totally. Let me explain. Last week I was driving around in the badlands of West Texas drinking a sixer. CSR: You shouldn't drink and drive. Me: What are...

I haven't hada PG since the new download. What's the deal? I've already rebooted twice.

I know E* announces this week, but I think D* recently announced 435k net additions last quarter. I wasn't referring to HD only, but overall market share of DBS biz. I guess will find out if E* is aslo profiting from cable's decline. Voom's recent financials reveal they're ripe for the taking...

What's so obvious to me is Dish and Voom MUST merge or more likely Dish should buy Voom. I don't know if I want it to happen, but both companies are eating Rupert's dust right now. Dish could get the extra capacity it needs immediately, and Cablevision would get rid of a money pit. I don't...

Hey, I'm 27 and my favorite movie of all time is Dr. Strangelove. Good movies are good movies, and that's what Voom needs to add. We were just given The Magnificent Seven, Hard Days Night, and will soon get 2/3 of the "Man with No Name" trilogy. Remember, these 20-40 year old Voomers are...

Voom, nor any other provider, will ever give out this information. The standard line is that "we constantly adjust compression depending upon the material." I have never believed this, because I don't think any provider has the ability or desire to exercise this level of quality control except...

Even though I'm a 720p believer, I find Dr. Alvyray a little to myopic. Here's a nice thread from avs. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?postid=2205299#post2205299

But that's the point. People who aren't beta testing can tell us they aren't. Only those that are can say nothing. I think there are some people who have axes to grind with Voom b/c of Voom's 4-6 months refund policy, bad CSRs, and Installs Inc. nightmares. I've never believed in...

I was just talking about the way he keeps threads in their appropriate place and keeps things on topic. His personality disorder is something I also don't want around here. Maybe he was driven to his current state by "whiners and professional malcontents." BTW, I think we need some full...

I for one have complained greatly about ESPN-HD, especially it being stuck at 1080i because of busted equipment that no one has been able to fix for 10 weeks. I still love eveyone. And Angelina Jolie. And the Olsen twin whose spine isn't visible. And potatoes. And . . .

When were Voom's people here? Besides Dragon Lady and Wilt in Yahoo forum, I don't recall anyone around here stating they were with Voom. If they were here, they sure weren't answering questions. As someone who might be a target of this thread, I'll say as I've said before. Voom is the...

I got a message on my Tivo that all the RSNs have been deleted from the channel lineup.

Tim, have you seen what's coming up on the Cinema 10s? Magnificant Seven The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Fistfull of Dollars Mad Max Hard Days Night in addition to already Hoosiers Manchurian Candidate Terminator Platoon (long ago) The classic films Voom is adding to the...

Is this guy ever off? :) Too funny. I think what Voom should most definitely stay away from but won't is thw whole local mess. Only reason to enter local business if Congress changes the rules about who can receive distant locals. A smooth transition to new dishes, wm9, and dvr are...

Did vurbano or ChetK run over your dog or something? You've been all over these guys for a couple days. All I see is healthy dissent from those of us wo have seen a drop in PQ since March/April.

Can you just imagine how pissed people who don't have this forum are about this? It's awful, especially since my OTAs all go in and out all day long. Hopefully they'll patch this ASAP.

All the channels in my DMA are mapped, and there is no city closer than 200 miles away with a tower, so I didnt get anything from manual scan. But the weird thing is that 2 very lo power channels I could never get have become rock solid ever since the software upgrade. On the old scale these...

It looks like you've got a Sammy DLP, so no worries about burn-in. Use pillar boxes to eliminate distortion.
