Adding Playboy HD- a little embarrased!

I haven't had a show pixelate on me on PBHD...wonder if it's your specific signal, mine is a-ok in Dallas. :p
 
When I ordered, the girl first asked "Do you know how to set the parental lock?", I said yeah (I have no kids), she says "It's on page blah of your manual", I said ok. Then before she sent down a hit, she asked "Is there anyone there who shouldn't be?", I said no. It was a little different. It seemed like it was something VOOM requires them to say.

Oh, and yes I have noticed POOR PQ on PBHD since the last 'upgrade in PQ' a few days ago. PBHD used to be one of the few channels that looked halfway decent. I hope this crappy PQ is from VOOM and not inherent to HD, because if it is, then I'm very disappointed in HD.
 
Okay- took the plunge and called the CSR......... Couldn't be easier! Had a guy- named Dan! Asked for channel 701 (I'm at work and didn't really want to say PLAYBOY!!) He hit my box twice just to be sure, told me the speech about the parental controls, and said to call anytime if I want to cancel. Also spent an extra dollar to get the Don King boxing event this Sat night. Boxing in HD- COOL!

Hmm.. that's odd, I certainly haven't noticed PBHD looking any worse since the update.

me either. it looks the same to me as it did before the update. Oh, and btw Seandudley, I see the same thing that you do in regards to pixelation with the naked bowling thing, and as far as programming goes in general, some bad, some good, some great! I have noticed that the feature movies they play at night, and the nooner show seem to look the very best.

Oh yea, I remember one more thing the CSR said. She said, "You realize what is on that channel, right". I thought that was pretty funny. Yes, I want HD porn, turn it on! :)

It's a games channel, right? :rolleyes:

Yeah, especially with strobe scene changes, but not just those. I can see the 'checkerboard' pattern everywhere, especially on solid colors.
 
You guys are killing me. I have been trying to resist the temptation of HD porn and everytime I call Voom, they have asked if I would like to try it out. One question, is it better then Sinimax late night?

Oh BTW, If you ordered the PPV fight, I just checked and there is a banner screen on channel 711 confirming the order.
 
Ok, I'll ask outright...

Money Shots? Are the movies edited?
(More like Ten, or ExxTasy?)

PS And don't worry about the CSRs, it's their job. I'm sure lot's of people order everyting (remember that Seinfield when everyone had to admit on the Lie Detector they were watching Melrose Place? - not that's embarassing). Besides, it's not like your attending Temple with them.

No money shots. Everything else except, well, you know. PBHOTHD does extreme close ups, I don't know if TEN does.

Talk about Giants! You should see some of those extreme closeups on a 110" screen! :yes :D :eek: :shocked :p
 
I believe upon viewing said programming on 110" screen my brain would actually explode.

Well, it was not exactly my "brain" that exploded. :D But then you know where a guy's brain is when he's with a woman, right? :p
 
Playoy channel

I am a new Voom subscriber - one of the first questions I was asked when I called was whether I wanted to add the Playboy channel. I told her that 65" HD Porn would be too much to handle (she got a kick out of that). Why pay for softcore - kind of like watching a game where they cut out the good plays.

One question though - if a female calls in to subscribe to Voom, are they asked whether they want Playboy channel? I bet not!

So - it's fully XXX? Or somewhere inbetween? I call anything less than XXX softcore...
