    Who's staying up until Zero hour tonight?

    If I can stay awake! It will be interesting to see what happens. Then, when it goes dark, I'll switch to Video 2 and watch cable.

    I am going with Cable, what about you.

    I will be getting Insight as well. It really is a good deal - I think. 10 HD (12 with HBO and SHO which I will get). The On-Demand,PPV, Local Source, and optional internet service are great too. I also hear that Phone service will be available in the very near future. It's no VOOM, but it...

    Voom's PQ Is Lousy

    I earn a living in the visual arts - I don't think I am "seeing Things". Voom Happy? Yes, I am happy to have voom - why are you here? Please explain/describe my options and how they are better. This would be helpful. I am open to new ideas and technology. So far, VOOM has delivered the best...

    Voom's PQ Is Lousy

    I find this thread amusing - My PQ is looking FAB tonight. When it doesn't look as good as it has in the past I say to myself "Self, VOOM is just trying to survive at the moment". Voom at its best is superb - at it's worst it is being worked on in order to improve the service. I can live with...

    DVR SOLOUTION - For VOOM on your MAC

    MP, Thanks for the info - Are other DVR/Receiver's ready to go with firewire? I know that HD Video cameras are. That makes an active firewire connection on VOOM something I would like then. At any rate, the basic product is good, and with a dual processor machine you can get a decent...

    DVR SOLOUTION - For VOOM on your MAC

    Dan, The $350 gets you a box with a remote, and the Eye TV software which is very useful indeed. I don't believe the HD signal is captured via firewire - but it is delivered to the MAC this way. For details and spec sheets, visit www.elgato.com. My posts are based on the poduct I bought...

    DVR SOLOUTION - For VOOM on your MAC

    Bilodeaumj , You can send the signal back to the TV - check out Apples Website - they have various cables that will work with different inputs. If you get the very system I have AtiWonder Eye TV, I am not so sure it will look very good on the TV. The only way to record at a decent rate...

    DVR SOLOUTION - For VOOM on your MAC

    Ty2083 I haven't looked at any other product other than EyeTV. And yes, I believe the ATIWonder is not an Elgato Product - but the software is - it's been packaged and bundled. The other EyeTV boxes have remotes and are nicer looking than the ATI "encased" card. As far as HD input, this is...

    DVR SOLOUTION - For VOOM on your MAC

    Hey gang, I recently purchased Elgato's EyeTvWonder USB for my iMac G5. It was $150 and is a terrific PVR option for the MAC/VOOM users. I can record VOOM but only is SD. Elgato makes a HD product as well EyeTV500 for $349. A dual processor G5 is required for the highest quality recordin...

    Top THREE Pros and Cons of VOOM

    3 for 3 against Pro: 1) Terrific PQ here in Indiana (Even better once I did an amateur Calibration of my Hitachi 51g500 RP) 2) The most HD offered. 3) Easy to use great looking user interface. 4) (If I may) THIS FORUM!!! Con: 1) Not being able to rent a receiver if you own the...

    new encoder PQ

    My opinion? Barry Bonds KNOWS what cheating is. But seriously, things are looking good in Indiana - PQ seems to be up to par. I'll need more time to really tell

    Cable Seems The Option for Me

    I added cable HD I added cable HD to my existing setup- it's mighty slim on HD content, but it looks good. - I stil have VaVaVoom as well. ILYA, the HDNet and HDNet Movies come in terrific. We don't get INHD here however. The nice thing is that I have a DVR with the new cable HD. Only 10...

    Voom has jerked us around, time to drop them

    No hard feelings ..... I have had VOOM since last February. Loosing all that great HD programming will be a drag, but I don't feel slighted whatsoever. I did my research before signing up and knew I was taking a bit of a risk - it was worth it - it still is. I added HD content to my cable...

    What do we kick around now?

    Yes, me too. The Colts are playing in HD this afternoon - a LOCAL OTA that comes in terrific. Another topic (off-topic) might be if APPLE COMPUTER will indeed introduce a sub $500 "Headless Computer" this week at Macworld. Oh, one more thing, if I wasn't satisfied with VOOM, I'd drop it...
