RE: [VOOM] Re: WB (Warner Brothers)
VOOM does not supply any locals channels via their satellite. However, when
you signup for VOOM, they come out and install the VOOM satellite dish _AND_
an OTA (over the air) antenna and the tech combines both cables into one and
that cable goes to your VOOM receiver so you get the satellite channels and
the local over the air channels.
If you do not choose VOOM, you can still buy an over the air antenna but the
$costly$ part is getting that signal converted into HD. That requires a
converter. Either you pay for a converter out of your pocket (mucho dollars)
or you go with VOOM and get all of it for a monthly fee competitive of all
other cable/satellite providers.
VOOM is the only provider that you can get 30+ HD satellite channels and
your local channels broadcasting HD.
I get NBC,PBSX2,CBS,ABC,FOX,UPN and WB all in HD when the air something in
HD. Not all programs are broadcast in HD but the stations are broadcasting
in HD so when there is a program in HD, you get it.
Examples..
NBC(Crossing Jordan, West Wing, Law & Order, Tonight show)
PBS(many, many shows)
CBS(CSI,Without a trace,CSI Miami)
ABC(Alias,Extreme Makeover,NYPD)
FO

24)
UPN(Star Trek enterprise)
WB(who cares? <g>)

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the reply. I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge
about HD.
So this means that Voom didn't sign a contract with WB and that's why
I have to get the signal myself via antenna, right? What if I don't
have antenna setup at home and I still want WB. Is Voom the wrong
choice for me then? I currenly have Comcast Digial with the HD
option. But Comcast doesn't have that much HD and I want more HD
channels.
Thanks.
