    I have to look no further for an HD provider.

    Yeah I've had my zenith since the first run of units. I have no complaints. I do notice upconversion seems to work better on "well" animated programs.. like Disney/Pixar dvd's..

    I would like to keep all of them... :river

    Voom Program Uninstall (Windows XP with SP2)

    You cant be serious.. Either you know nothing about IE and computers in general or you are just an anti M$ person trying to increase the Firefox and NutScrape install base. Why don't you suggest using a MAC to download the program or installing Linux and getting rid of windows.. :mad:

    I am going with Cable, what about you.

    I'm pretty sure there are laws against them banning sat installs.

    What I'll miss about Voom (mourning thread)

    I'll miss the Dolan family soap opera most of all.

    May 1st where will you be? Dish, Cable or DirecTV?

    I'm thinking comcast will get my money for a few months until D* get's their $h1t together. They are running a deal right now for Digital Plus and STARZ free for 3 months. The HD BOX is free and for $9.95/mo I can get the DVR.. I just wish the box did OTA so I could record the local channels...

    I say no more new HD channels for now!

    Not too split hairs but the accurate comparison would be Toyota to Lexus, Nissan to Infinity, Ford to Lincoln, Chevy to Cadillac :)

    Where are the new Channels?

    I don't believe there are 70 HD sources..

    I could refer two people now BUT!

    The could definately add other plus packs.. D* has the sports pack in addition tot he movie channel packs.. Also they have 2 tiers of basic service.. I think if voom stays around they we redo their pricing structures and rethink what belongs with each package..

    I could refer two people now BUT!

    I think they just need to lower the price of thier plus packs.. I mean for $20 you get one, but for $40 you get all 4. I know the idea is to give incentive to sign up for all, but they should probably tier the pricing like D*.

    is it safe to sign up voom now or should I wait until 4/1?

    Any Idea if they will make any official announcements in the next few days? Considering they put up a site telling us it was gone by the 31st, then put the site back up, then back down, etc... I think they owe us at least a quick comment...

    What E* told me about Voom programming...

    By definition doesnt an interlaced scan only send half the frame at a time vs progressive that sends a combined even/odd twice as often (or a little more in the case of dvd's that use 24 frames per second)?

    What E* told me about Voom programming...

    By using simple math 1080i to 1080p should double the required bandwith (double the pixels per frame, instead of 540 lines every frame youd have 1080 lines per frame)... I dont think it will be a broadcast standard anytime real soon.. Broadcasters already want to downrez stuff to keep people...

    What E* told me about Voom programming...

    Would be good for HD-DVD if they ever ratify a single standard.... Think of the improvemnt of 480i->480p on current DVD players (although mine upconverts to 1080i pretty well)...

    What E* told me about Voom programming...

    Yeah they look nice.. There are already 1080p LCD tv's out... They are extremely expensive though..

    Do we get HBO Pay Per View?

    Personally, I go watch it at my local sports bar and then watch it again for free (on HBO) a week later.. I can't justify 50$+ for a single fight that could be over in 90 seconds.. As for movies, netflix is almost as convenient and you got no surprise bills..

    question for voom subs

    I've had all 3 and each leaves something to be desired. This applies to cars and sat providers :)

    question for voom subs

    Yeah I agree I'm in the pittsburgh area and even with voom allowing the installer to put in a rotor i still seem to lose channels at the drop if a hat.. They should just install a good antenna instead of even trying that thing that looks like it came from one of my kid's batman toys. Why do...

    Do you have a new provider lined up if Voom goes dark on 4/1/05??

    I guess he went to the same school where clinton didn't learn the meaning of is :) Now on topic... I'll probbaly go back to cable becuase their HD offerings are better than D* at this point and i've had bad billing issues (double charges that took over a year to rectify, etc) with E* in the past.

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    I have to agree. The last few nights cartoon network has been unwatchable. I have seen so many fragments at some times it appears like they are running 2 versions out of sync..

    What is Chuck Dolan dealing with E*?

    Makes more sense than most of the posts on here.. You convinced me..

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    Watching toon network too and just saw a big chunk of scrambled crap (pixelation) in the lower right of the screen.

    Where's the Voom website?

    I was just there, maybe its busy with people looking for some news (there is none there) try again.

    Why did the sale to Voom HD LLC Fail?

    With the added benefit of the slap in the james's face.
