This game is over so there isn't a 9th inning left.
But that doesn't mean another game will not begin one day.
Ninth Inning
So True! We need to be saved from the minor leagues of HD television!

One day you're Mark "The Bird" Fidrych being cheered by millions...the next day you're Mark Fidrych being flipped "The Bird" by the minions. Go figure...
I would have no problems with having to wait for about 6 months for a well advertised, well established, more-than-15-channel hd dbs/cable company...whether it be here, Canada or South America! Like I had mentioned weeks ago, I thought SOMETHING meaningful would come out of this meeting. Initially, it was WAY too hush-hush about what was discussed on the 18th...now, slowly info is starting to come out. I still think there is alot of information still being kept from the public. I am crossing my fingers, toes and anything else I can cross.
Are the trolls happy
I wonder if the trolls are happy. They finally killed voom, they were like cancer always complaining about pic quality, channel programming etc. Now that the cancer has eatan the body, i hope they are thrilled. Had it not been for so much negativity on these forum boards, maybe more HD viewere would have signed on to voom, and had there been 200,000 subscribers voom would have been around today. What are they going to complain about, 7 Adelphia HD channels in Santa MOnica, 8 HD Dish channels, i don't even know what to get, i am so depressed. HD has been dealt a severe blow. Direct Tv only plans to add national networks in next satellite launch, maybe more channels next year, they have NO capacity to add voom 21. Verizons service is still just optical internet, nothin in HD yet. We will have to wait 1 year at least.
I have kept myself happy buying an upconverting HD dvd player, Denon 1910 which upconverts to 1080i, it is like having my own movie channel, and then i renewed my movie pass to blockbuster.

It's too bad VOOM didn't lauch right now with their current channel lineup, Rainbow-1 and Rainbow-2 fully operational, plus RSNs and the DVR....woulda...shoulda...coulda...
I totally agree. So many of those issues could have been avoided from the start.riffjim4069 said:
A big if, but I believe it would be highly conceited to assume that the members of any internet forum have that much pull. There has been much more negative said about E* in their various forums and they seem to be doing fine.calikarim said:
Don't blame the trolls for being negative. Don't blame the Voomers for not being positive enough. Blame those within Cablevision that allowed Voom to bleed and die for 11 months. Blame those within Cablevision that almost didn't get Voom launched in 2003. Blame the cancer withing Cablevision.
