    Voomer moved to Comcast – initial thoughts

    I actually went with cable co (COX) because they offered me the cheapest basic service with HD programming and DVR. I get "extended basic" for 40 bucks a month and 15 to lease the DVR (moto) E*/D* would have been a bit cheaper but you dont have to pay 5 bucks per TV to get service at...

    E* or D*

    Even if they do this is why I went with the cable co... I want a HD-DVR and couldnt get one cheap from any Sat service. By the end of the year Verizon should be starting their TV service..... a whole lot will change by the end of the year. You might look at Time Warner again.... Ive heard...

    i have a lcd projector but i dont think this is it.... my voom PQ has been fine but as of a week ago Ive started to see it. And it doesnt happen all the time.... I only notice it when closeups on faces move (when therye walking for example and the camera tries to keep but cant quite)

    Yet another PQ thread (question though)

    Well on my system its most channels.... most movie channels (voom exclusives and premiums). Doesnt happen much on the HDnews and other "non movie" exclusives.

    Yet another PQ thread (question though)

    Im curious to see if anybody has seen the following on their voom recently (past week or so). Ive noticed that recently when somebodys head movies up and down fairly slowly there almost seems to be a ghost trail behind it..... its difficult to explain and I just got a new projector so it could...

    What happened to FSFLHD?

    im a few hours north of houston and i gotta admit.... i want voom to add fox sports as well (in HD would be even better). Even pull a D* at this point and have a "special events" channel and show FS games on it w/o having to dedicate a multiple fulltime channels.

    Rumor: VOOM/Echostar Deal?

    seconded.... not a fan at all of E* hardware and D* costs way too much $.

    My PQ Rant

    Something Id like to see is a Rating system where you could give it a star rating for not only PQ but the actual show as well. sorta like the review thread but a searchable database.... I could host but know almost nothing about coding such a system (but I have a host with mySQL/PHP with...

    Is VOOM really worth the money?

    Agree with everybody else here.... had both D*/E* and neither can compare in terms of the total package.

    VoOm Guide: Kill Bill Vol.1 April 1st on Starz

    Speaking of that... I really hate how the list stupid stuff like this instead of something better... Ive never seen Kill Bill I on starz before in the months that theyve had it. </sarcastic> It should be reserved for ACTUAL news.... I was dissapointed back when TNT had the NBA All Star game...

    Is it me or is the guide hard to see?

    on a 34 id bet its small.... i know its pretty small on my F38310 but its still readable. But vooms guide is about the same size as dish so theres no reason it should be different. Are you sure its set in 720p/1080i mode? the red button on the front panel will switch resolutions.

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    Ive noticed it getting progressively better as well.... Equator, Worldsport and Rave are already better now than they ever were on the old encoders. Im still convinced they are doing vbr now more agressively where some shows are much less (why you see people here complaining a certain show...

    *** Stop Adding Channels until the PQ is Restored!!! ***

    On some channels I agree with all the sentiment here (and its probably the VBR stuff now) but some channels look better than they ever did on the old encoders.... Some Equator programs and pretty much Rave all the time Ive noticed lately have gotten better than they ever looked on the old...

    The PQ is back, the love is back

    Same here... much better PQ across the board. Seems to have dropped a few nothces back now. Eurosport was perfect earlier and now has pixelization again.
