Have you set the 'little red button' to the correct setting? The top line is 1080i if I remember right...

Most people didn't rave (no pun intended) specifically about only the Voom originals. It was the combination of all the HD they offered, which obviously includes originals plus a lot of channels that other providers carry. But those same providers don't carry all of those channels. D* carries...

Who said those were the best channels Voom had to offer? Voom customers were missing certain channels that they wanted just like customers of D* and E*. But there were a LOT more than those 10 channels in HD. Between HBO, Showtime, Cinnemax, etc there were something like 8 HD channels (only...

I set Tivo to record HDNews until 4:00 am CST in case they were late - I haven't checked out my recording yet.

I just placed my order for DirectTV today. Haven't got the call to schedule my install yet, but I'm planning on watching voom until the signal goes dark! We had basic cable just for Fox Sports for the local sports teams. That will be available via DirectTV, so I can drop that $30/mo bill. I...

Any time you purchase equipment, you're assuming risk. Heck, even if you buy D* or E* equipment, there's a risk. I doubt either company will go under, but the receivers could certainly become obsolete as technology changes. As with any 'start-up' company, there is always added risk. A lot of...

Not only did they file with the SEC, the board approved this unanimously - that means Chuck voted 'yes' too. Sad to say...

Is it possible the receiver is not set to output the correct resolution? I think I had Voom a couple weeks, and thought it looked pretty darn good, before I discovered this forum. I read the FAQ, and decided to check the 'orange bars' on my receiver. Whad'ya know - I hadn't even been watching...

I just set up Tivo for a bunch of Rave concerts tonight that I'll save off to DVD...

I am watching these types of threads on the different forums very closely. HD is not offered on cable in my area. I prefer a minimal equipment investment, but obviously quality is important too. It would be so much easier if there weren't so many people saying both D* and E* are awful. :D The...

I'm watching my Wolves on ESPN-HD right now!

Thanks to all who make this forum what it is! Will the Voom forum shut down, or can we keep it alive for sentimental reasons? :)

I can't speak for elsewhere, but in the Minneapolis area, most of the local sports are carried of Fox Sports Net - Timberwolves, Twins, U of Minnesota and I believe the Wild as well (I forget after not having hockey for a year). That's a huge percentage of local televised games. That channel...

They showed a 15 foot 215 pound anaconda list night - thing was HUGE!

I've been considering taking advantage of the offer to have a receiver installed in the bedroom. Does the $5/receiver price last only the length of the 6 month contract, then revert to the $9.50 mirror fee plus $5/mo? Or does that lock you into that receiver price for longer than the contract...

Now that was a more thought out out posting, explaining your situation. But you also have to remember everyone's situation is different. You made the assumption that everyone's situation is the same, and that Voom is "wrong" for everyone. You also never mentioned whether, after 1 1/2 years...

What have I been thinking? I had no idea you couldn't get OTA - I'm dropping Voom tomorrow! :haha

Since you all but forgot all about Voom's existence, why on earth do you give a rat's a@@ whether or not they pull the plug? Now don't keep secrets, don't leave all of us suckers that aren's smart enough to jump ship hanging, what did they do wrong? All of us happy Voom customers obviously are...

I have an MX500, not a Harmony. All I did was create LCD buttons labelled Green, Red, etc on my Voom menu, then 'learned' the buttons. Works like a champ!

Can't you just set a sleep timer on your TV?

Have you told them they're wrong? :haha

I fully agree - although it's obviously speculation. This decision came from the board level. The people working on these improvements probably had absolutely no indication that this was coming. And at the same time, the members of the board probably had no idea what these projects were. They...

I'm in the same boat. When Voom is gone, my TV will be used to watch cable (no HD available) and DVDs for a while. Here's hoping that there are some great HD deals out there for DirectTV or Dish! I just don't have the spare cash to soak into an HD receiver right now... :( Hopefully the...

I'm not going anywhere!

"Voom" isn't like that, as Voom doesn't broadcast local channels - you're getting those feeds straight from the networks. You're receiving them via the Voom box and antenna, but the signal does not come from Voom. When you refer to DirectTV and DISH, I'm not sure if you're referring to OTA or...
