Got Time Warner cable installed yesterday with the Scientific Atlanta HD DVR. At first I was a bit disappointed but it looks like it will be ok until something better comes up. Of course you can't expect the installer guy to set it up correctly for HD so with a bit of fiddling around with it...

Wow! Where'd you find 77 and 87 inch DLPs? Are they projectors? When I bought my Samsung, 61" DLP, it was the biggest you could buy. I've heard recently that Samsung was working on an 80" DLP projection, but that it wasn't in a product for sale just yet. I was comparing it to the Sony Grand...

61" Samsung DLP. PQ does seem to vary channel to channel and day to day at times. Some overcompressed SD channels look especially bad. Example Outdoor Life. Some SD channels like CNN Headline News used to have some severe C-BAND sparklies, but they seem to have gone away and now PQ on CNN...

Thank you. That's what I thought.

Forgive me for asking a dumb question, but could someone please explain which satellite services are represented by e* and D*? I'm confused as to which is Dish Network and which is DirecTv. Thanks

Yes, I hated them too. Too many problems with billing and overcharging. I also noted that the decoder and the 4DTV receivers themselves were not selling to well and my biggest surprise was that General Instruments, an early leader in C-Band equipment and the maker of the 4DTV reciever, was...

I switched to Voom from C-Band with a 4DTV reciever just to get the quantitiy of HD channels I wanted. While I was considering buying the HDTV, my assessment was that C-Band was losing subscribers and there would be no significant growth for new services, i.e. HDTV channels on C-Band so the time...

gawain Come on in, the water's fine. Voom has a pretty decent service and the current promotion removes all risk. If they don't make it, you're really not out anything. Once you see all the HD content, you'll never go back. That and I don't mind helping out the underdog. Win-win...

While I clicked on a few, the drop dead best HD channel is Discovery HD Theater by far. If you want to show off your HDTV, that's the channel to do it with. Can't get enough of it.

Not to belittle anyone's personal beliefs, but I consider religious channels to be of interest to a different niche of satellite customers than are currently subscribing to Voom. I would prefer Voom stick to its roots and continue to try to roll out more HD programming. If I understand the...

I had a 10' dish with a 4DTV receiver before I bought my 61" Samsung DLP. After much research, I went with Voom as my only satellite source as in my opinion, Voom offered way more HD content than anyone and at the time there was leased equipment and free install. Since you're getting a...

I'd not really seen the power of the DVR until my friend's wife, who is not too technical, showed me what she has been doing with her D* DVR. Way better way to manage your viewing. That said, I would opt for the lease. I am concerned about the long term viability of V*. That's why I lease the...

Yes, please add Food TV My wife and I really miss FoodTV. The content is really great and we've been hoping for while now that Voom would get on the ball and add this channel. If any channel was screaming for HD it is this one, but I'll settle for SD. If the powers that be can do it, do...

As you guys have all discussed here, HD PQ varies quite a bit depending on how it was shot, recorded, edited, upconverted, etc. In general, it looks like the best and most consistently high PQ has been on (in no particular order): HD News Rush Rave Discovery HD Theater Bravo HD NBC...

Food TV...Its not just the wives While HD is great to look at, eventually you need to get back to content you actually are compelled to watch. Food TV was nearly a deal breaker in house with respect to the decision to go with V* as our only source. I submitted a request to V* through their web...

Switching from C-Band with 4DTV to Voom, I lost quite a few channels that I really liked, but really wanted more HD channels for my new HDTV. From the Voom web site, I submitted a comment asking about channels and actually got a response from someone in Marketing. I thought that was pretty...
