    Forget about the impending shutdown...

    I want to know WHO WON THE HOLLOWEEN CONTEST!!! I've been waiting patiently for my TV to be delivered, so where is it??? I guess I shouldn't be too worried about getting the free 1-year service though... I wonder what they are going to do with all of those awsome HD TV's you see in the...

    Idea: DVR Early Sign-Up

    Actually it's: 1. tdillon 2. Bilodeau 3. jbcheshire Sorry jbcheshire, just because I failed to hit the "submit reply" button in a timely manner is no reason I should have to wait to get my DVR. See what this whole DVR delay is doing to civilized folks - it makes them cut in line. They...

    DVR SOLOUTION - For VOOM on your MAC

    I have the iMac 20" and was curious about getting the same system but am unsure on its usage. Does this mean that we watch the playback on the iMac? Is there a way to transmit it back into the TV ? (of course it would be SD but at least we get to see the program...). on a side note: I got...

    VOOM operating normally...

    Let the HDDVR Alone!!! I don't think so! The HDDVR including the whole home solution needs to be implemented!!! [off topic a bit] I see a analogy here with the HDDVR total home solution to the V-2 Rocket at the end of WWII. Both were superior technologies being implemented by losing...

    VOOM operating normally...

    Apparently. here's my question to VOOM Customer service regarding the release of the DVR:"When is the DVR slated to come out? How long after that before the whole home solution? Thanks in advance! MJB" And the answer: "Thank you for choosing VOOM - HDTV Delivered! We are currently...

    1:20Am 2/01/2005 Voom is Dead? No.

    Sounds like the "Soup Nazi" episode from Seinfeld. You may not have known it but you stepped out of line ram1220...NO VOOM HD FOR YOU!!! OUT OF THE STORE!!! Too bad. :mad: So sad. :no

    Now that VOOM is dead, who will be your provider?

    IF it means more HD I may stick with satellite over cable. Since VOOM is my first experience with Satellite, how does D* work the local HD channel situation? Do they offer OTA as well? TIA

    Will we be VOOMing come 1 Feb 05?

    Don't get me wrong as I'm here until the end (not much choice - I love Cinema 10) but as was discussed in earlier threads (I'm not smart enough to know how to post them - sorry). Lostcause had it correct with "Voom will continue operating as normal until the day the CSRs show up to work and...

    I placed an Order

    I'm with BFG on this one. The fact that they are still taking new install and service calls don't mean jack as far as them staying in business. If they stop doing so, now that is a biggy. Kodak spent millions on digital media processing start-up company here in San Diego. A buddy of mine...

    Subscription---On The Fence

    Wait, I finally figured it out. The "wait-to-see-what-happens" guys have a point. There is an issue with getting addicted to HDTV viewing, especially with VOOM. Think of the withdrawls if it ever went away??? Well as I believe Shakespeare put it, I'd rather have watched and lost than never...

    Subscription---On The Fence

    I don't understand this train of thought. Why wait a month??? The $1 install is still $1. Besides maybe being out 1 day of work for the install what's there to lose? Even if the company goes south you still have had all the HD for the time

    Subscription---On The Fence

    It's your call but to put it in perspective do you pay extra for high speed internet over dial-up? Is it worth the extra money? (I sure think so) If you have a hi-def TV that you probably spent thousands on then whats an extra $15.mo??? Time to be a REAL Captain and take helm on this...

    Just can't do it any longer...

    I also had the access card problems (on one TV only) but was told that it is a common problem when the STB goes bad. Have you asked to have your STB replaced? Got my new STB today. I'll see how it works when I get home. As for being fed up, I guess it's all individual choices. I don't mind...

    CRT vs LCD vs DLP vs Plasma on Voom

    Sure it's old school but if style of the TV is less important than best all around deal a CRT is the way to go. I don't know about the channel flicker. It's probably there but I've never seen it. I get as good a quality picture as any other Plasma or LCD that I've seen (medium to low range -...

    CRT vs LCD vs DLP vs Plasma on Voom

    This is one reason why I bought my 36" CRT (cost was the second). The technology & price wasn't quite there with LCD or Plasma. I don't have a plasma or LCD to do a side by side comparison but I definatly get the WOW factor depending on the show I watch. Some reviewers claim the CRT has much...

    Movie Requests: Voom brings these to HD!!

    Yeah, it was the Baseball players in central park that were the bad asses. Aahh the good ol' days of "queens rules" of gang warfare when guns weren't allowed. If you think about it, this movie could almost be played on the kung fu channel. I think I remember roller blade girls. They were...

    Movie Requests: Voom brings these to HD!!

    The Warriors - Come out to play... Does anyone remember this 1979 gem? "Warriors - come out to plaay-eeaaay" I haven't seen this in quite sometime but it was a riot. I remember how tough the gangs looked when it first came out. Now they wouldn't pass for village people stand ins. Still...

    Where is VOOM's future going to be?

    I voted for Microsoft, not that I think it will happen, but that it would be the best thing to keep my HDTV rolling!!! People seem to confuse the lines reagrding VOOM problems as a company vs the product they put out. I love HDTV. I still get the WOW factor watching the VOOM exclusives...

    How's that PVR coming along?

    You do have a point. I think everyone really does want one. I'm just not going to give up my HD motherload to get one (yet...) I'm a channel flipper and am usually watching 2-3 shows at the same time. Question: Why doesn't VOOM go one up on everyone else in the world and offer a remote...
