    Who's staying up until Zero hour tonight?

    I'll be sitting out the end (sleepy, had a bad day), but pulling the coax just in case in a couple of hours so if OTA still works I can use that until the E* install next week.

    How is VOOM going to uninstall 46,000 people in one month?

    A csr told me they would be deploying an army of T-600 deinstall units to do the removals (replacing the older ED209 deinstall units which were prone to breakdowns and had problems with ladder navigation).

    I'm guessing (shutdown/and or chat if it happens) it will be east coast time?

    Movies Voom introduced you to.

    I really wanted to catch a showing of that (both my VHS tapes are worn down to almost unplayability), but when I signed up it looked like thay had stopped running it.

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

    I've gotta have Comedy Central (Daily Show, South Park), Cartoon Network (Adult Swim) and Boomerang (for my husband) so we're switching over to digital cable on the 30th. I don't watch much network OTA, except for Fox (and only for Simpsons) which we get well with analog OTA.

    Dam dunno where to shop for new service...

    You might want to check your local area group here to see what others might be doing or if they have any info. I posted to the Sacramento one earlier 'cause there's a future HD source that should be coming this summer. It's currently SD but they are planning an HD rollout. Others might be...

    Probably :D - but I don't know the landlord would approve.

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

    Possibly back to provider merry-go-round. First we're going to see if SureWest cable (SD service) has worked out their bugs yet (install set for 04/30). They also said they *might* have HD sometime this summer (but we are going to ask at corporate as I'm not sure the CSR knew what my husband was...

    ****My rant against PQ on New Encoders****

    Actually, this many surprise some of ya, and I don't know how well every single ED plasma handles sources, but mine is very unforgiving in regards to compression artifacting and signal degradation. The higher resolution/quality signal fed to it, the better it will look on the display (even...

    I'm just a little concerned about the usage of "we"... :D

    Is that $1000/hour of film footage or for project time (setup, labor, etc)?

    Local OTA Channel Scan brings in UHD, ESPN, HGTV, Food….

    I second the "yuck". I have no problems with competitive services in general, and I can see why the service is attractive to some, but when it starts cutting into the local digital spectrum... I didn't know they had gotten as far as L.A. yet.

    Poll: Do You Supplement Your Voom Service?

    Voom's my only service provider, though (for now still) I can also pull in a few analog OTA channels.

    What does Voom Need to do Most to Attract New Customers?

    I'll look closer at the next ad I see, but I'm not sure (even though they mention SD) they make it clear that you can watch the service on any TV. On the other hand- there are those who think they are already getting HD because they have digital cable. The standard (non-HD) boxes.

    What Channels Would You Like To See Added To Voom's Present Lineup?

    [edit- as long as they can add channels without decreasing bitrate....] HD: (HDNets) SD: Trio and NewsWorld International (NWITV) The Horror Channel would be kind of neat also.

    What does Voom Need to do Most to Attract New Customers?

    1) Fix the install and billing issues. 2) Let people know you don't have to have an HDTV just yet to use the service, and that it will work with a standard TV (albeit lower quality, but still works). Many people are under the impression that they can't even get Voom unless they have an HDTV...

    Their Customer Service and CS Chat is down....

    Hey Vicki! Nope, no panic here ;) - there's always Netflix for movies anyway (though I'll miss 'em in HD).

    Will we be VOOMing come 1 Feb 05?

    That happens even in smaller companies. The political news magazine division of my former workplace was taking new orders up until the day the press release notification about shutting down was released.

    Their Customer Service and CS Chat is down....

    Neither Vicky, myself or any other of the (known to be) ladies here have posted to this thread, but thanks for the advice anyway. :rolleyes:

    Cable Seems The Option for Me

    This might sound weird, but if/when Voom goes dark I'll probably be going analog OTA (don't watch much network HD) as it seems like it'll still be a while until the spectrum cutover or limited basic (some of the locals don't come in very well). I've already been with both of the cable companies...

    Did you have billing problems with VOOM?

    I guess the first problem was double billing (in a way)- they didn't charge the card during one billing cycle (though their statement showed it as paid), then charged it twice in the next cycle to make up for it (correct, but still confusing) and one statement didn't make any sense at all (don't...

    Dear VOOM: we WANT NWI!

    It's actually different and I miss it (had it with Comcast and I think Sure West before that). It's just regular news reporting from different countries.
