Voom Message on Upgrades

Can't take a picture of it.. But here it is...

"Technical upgrades completed!"

"VOOM has been adding capacity. If you encounter a black screen, please channel up then down to restore normal reception."

So is this good or bad??? :confused:

FYI:

Can someone with a large screen (pj preferably) checkout EquatorHD and see if it is any better? Last time I checked, the skeeters were noticeably reduced but the image was awfully soft and the Cinema10 looked much better.

I don't have a 9 foot screen, only a 57" WS, but equator looks awesome to me...

So are wondering if the quality that is imperceptible to you that can't detect is better?

Hmmm, that sounds a little obsessive.

Dang it...

You figured it out! Although no one guessed that SatelliteGuys is BUYING VOOM. Why do you guys think I have been wanting you guys to click on the Google advertisements and visit our sponsors. :D :D :D

Now you know the truth... (YEAH RIGHT! The above is only a joke folks) :)

People just know for the real VOOM news and info they come to SatelliteGuys, people know that they can read it hear first TODAY our they can read it at other sites or in the papers tommorow. :)

This has been a roller coaster for us as well.

BTW I love the VOOM logo with the Smilie Face!

Would this upgrade have occured last night? I was flipping channels and stopped at one, thinking this looks like HD, what's on? It was a commercial, not Voom or HD related and it ended up being the WE channel. I would swear it was HD like quality..maybe my eyes? Would the improvements be that good on SD?
