    I'm going to refuse to pay anyone a huge monthly fee any more until we get an HD satelite service back equal or better than Voom. I'll live with OTA, and $10 limited basic cable until then.:no

    Well, the overwhelming majority of the small sample population in the vote so far, are here until the end! Let's party till they turn out the lights (and then some!)! What I want to know, is, since they will probably be on for quite some time while this sale is ironed out by the powers that...

    SUGGESTION: CALLER ID displayed on TV

    Why stop there? Any device with sound and video should have a phone in it. You plug in a phone cable, it displays caller id, and it switches sound from the current input device to the phone, and plays the incoming phone call on the speakers, and it has a microphone, that can be turned on and...
