    This needs to be said of V21 Again and again and ....

    To be honest, if the Voom21 were avail as SD only I wouldnt want it. Its the HD factor that made some of the repetition tolerable. If I had to pick 3-4 channels that I watched most it would be MonsterHD, UHD, Rave, & Kung Fu. Unfortunatly the Kung fu channel has gotten very boring since Ive...

    Voomer moved to Comcast – initial thoughts

    Had never heard of Sky till the last post and went to look at it. Oh my Goddess what a scary option :eek: (Runs screaming into hills like a good Pagan, hehe)

    Just cancelled my account. They will pick up equipment.

    In my case my billing date is normally set to the 29th so in my case it made no sense to cancel early since was basically paid up to the end day of Voom (sux saying that tho) :river

    May 1st where will you be? Dish, Cable or DirecTV?

    That works IF you get decent reception. Here in Denver I could never get ABC and a few others were very sporadic. I blame it in part on the crappy job installs direct did as well as poor placement of the locals transmiters. If recall correctly ABC here in Denver right now has its on like the 5th...

    My Offers from DirecTV and Time Warner Cable

    Oh, forgot the best part. The installer kept eyeing my DTV Tivo unit saying "Want me to take that one", I said no you get this box here (8-9yr old single tuner non DVR box). I don't know why he was sooo persistant trying to talk me into giving him that one instead. Think he asked like 3 times...

    May 1st where will you be? Dish, Cable or DirecTV?

    So far the HD stuff looks good. Still have V running on a component connection and Comcast using DVI. Was flipping back n forth tween Scooby on each input and couldnt notice any diff with HBOHD. SD isnt bad but am hoping the info my tech told me today, that comcasts goal here this month is to...

    My Offers from DirecTV and Time Warner Cable

    Not to mention the fact that you could shell out $850 and then in 6 months or how long it takes to convert to Mpeg4 compression, you may have to BUY a newer unit. Have not heard any info on a plan to offer upgradeing ppl who shell out the money now so, in my case, I opted to go cable for a while...

    May 1st where will you be? Dish, Cable or DirecTV?

    Well my comcast install went okay today. Some info on DVRHD units, may apply to other area's as well. A) Right now in Denver they are using the 6200 units not the 6412. I was told that due to the hinky bugs the 6412 had, green flashies and some issues if have unit on 2 hd channels, the units...

    Express Vu/Star Choice Satellite

    While it may be promising for some I just am not thrilled over how I understand the HD channels to work. From what I gather some of them are not 24/7 but instead one thing then at certain time changes to something else. Is that a correct understanding or am I once more misinformed? Now we...

    So who is going to offer the best deal for Ex Voom customers

    So what? If they wish to hold out hope its THEIR business and no one elses. Personally Im not holding out hope at this point but when ppl just post chit to irritate things more I simply lose respect for them.

    Express Vu/Star Choice Satellite

    well that would still be cheaper than DTV's HDDVR by $300 or so. Will keep an eye open to see what others think once they get it and I have comcast so if comcast here really sux maybe this would be an alternative. Still like the idea of getting 2 HDDvr boxes for 18 a month over paying out a...

    Express Vu/Star Choice Satellite

    Did you find an HD programming option? I didnt see one on the sites page myself....also looks like SC doesnt offer an HD DVR unit but then again not sure expressvue did either, they had HD boxes and SD w/dvr tho

    Express Vu/Star Choice Satellite

    I looked and not quite sure I understand their HD offering. They list basically E/W of major networks and a few others but seem very limited Movie channel wise in HD. Like I said might just be me not understanding.

    May 1st where will you be? Dish, Cable or DirecTV?

    You will still need to buy the Direct tv HD unit, think $350 & $399 with OTA ant, to view DTV HD channels. If your wanting to DVR HD programing you would need to get a DTV HDDVR unit which runs $999 & 1099 with OTA ant. Also keep in mind if they, DTV, changes their compression you might have to...

    How to take yourself off of autopay

    Mystik, best way now is to just call and have a CSR change your account to no autopay. With the site kinda finished its the only way. CSR's were really helpful about it. When I'd called about something else the CSR I had suggested and offered to remove me from AP on his own so I did.

    Where are all the VOOMERS Going?

    Exactly why I opted to give comcast a try. Plus in a few months or however long it takes, DTV is planning to move to mpeg4 according to rumors and if they do that DTV will expect you to just shell out more money for a newer box since they never lease. I think its pretty much garunteed they wont...

    MonstersHD.com and other channel websites

    Do you mean the Voom specific ones or in general? Its not part of Vooms exclusive cinama channels but I know UHD has its own site and about only way I can think of to check for the others is to try typing the names with hd.com at the end to see if others are. Tried Gunslingerhd.com &...

    To C. Dolan - Sell the voom customer list

    That I'd have to buy a new unit now & the possability that will have to buy another new box soon if went the DTV route what with mpeg4 and such is what made me decide to go with cable for now. This way get about the same channels (actually a few more movie channels in HD plus all my locals HD...
