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

    Ok anyone else getting annoyed at this? Could VOOM please stop adding channels until the PQ is restored! Bandwidth does not materialize out of thin air. Even with statistical multiplexing the new encoders have dropped the picture quality to crap... What good is more channels when the...

    Now that VOOM is dead, who will be your provider?

    Ok D* is over compressing and downrezing right now. How do you feel about that? Also why do you say you will get the media center at no cost? Have they made any public statements to that effect? The only thing I learned from CES is that when MPEG4 is launched on D* the current crop of...

    Now that VOOM is dead, who will be your provider?

    What are you going to do now? OK, Since so many think the service is on life support, I would like to know what the rest of you are going to do: (1) Nothing. I am hanging around until the signal goes away. (2) I am happy with OTA. I am going to take my time to figure this out. (3)...

    What's the best HD you ever seen on VOOM?

    "Tears of the Sun Movie" on Starz East feed was a phenomenal transfer. Even better than the VOOM exclusives.

    Going back to D* ( not a rant just an explanation)

    If you are a soccer fan.... If you are a soccer fan, then WorldSport is worth it alone on VOOM. I understand many are not. But for me I would NOT trade WorldSport for: ST + regional RSNs + all MLB packages Again my preferences are probably not reflective of the average US consumer...

    Trying to cancel D* but they don't answer!

    Apparently all the D* trolls don't get SARCASM. D* is not going anywhere. They will probably have billions seved soon, just like McDonalds. :-) It's just not for me. Carlos

    Trying to cancel D* but they don't answer!

    I figured it was time someone did some complayning about D* in the VOOM forum, given all the D* trolling going on recently. I finally decided to cancel and find myself getting a busy signal from their phone tree all night! <SARCASM>With this level of customer service I don't give them...

    Dropping D* - Finally!

    Sean great comments! What most of these short sighted guys don't know is that it takes 3 months after you leave D* to qualify for their new contract discount packages for new users (including HD packages). So even if we end up looking for a new provider in the future those that leave D*...
