Hey VoOm...how about pay per view??

[jeeptest]

I think we need some new release movies!! I for one would like to see some up to date recently (out on DVD) released flicks.

Maybe a reasonable fee per movie...say like $2.00 or 2.50?

Only need a few channels and you could rotate the movies.

What do you guys and gals think?

I won't purchase PPV until they have a PVR with firewire out. I'd rather buy the DVD than pay for a one time HD viewing. SD PPV is totally out of the question.

I rather want VOOM to get new HD channels such as inHD and/or HDNet than PPV.

Me too! I llike VOOM, but the crappy cable company is now providing 13 HD channels (9 cable - 4 network). I have a Mits and several firewire components. In my opinion, a firewire enabled DVR would be the "killer app" to entice all the VOOM waitandseers.

Back in May I was told by VOOM that firewire wasn't going to happen. However, the summer is soon to pass and still no DVR. Could it be that we are going to see firewire in the VOOM DVR?

Anyway, as much as I like VOOM, by law the cable companies must supply firewire enabled STB to all who request them. Something to consider...

Uh PPV seriously takes a back seat to:

-PVR

- More Bandwidth

- More HD Channels

- More Subscribers

I want PPV. But I don't think it is going to be $2 or $2.50. More like $4 or $4.50 or more. Just a guess.

Voom can't have PPV since their call-in 800 # was disconnected, the last I knew. My STB has never called in since May. The last PPV fight - Tyson vs whoever won was free for this reason (previous one was $1).

VOOM can set or change this 800 number in your STB via satellite whenever they want. No need to worry.

Two possible options besides just adding PPV channels. See here:

Just for kicks I checked my dial out attempt in my HT Voom stb last night and it tried to dial out 8/23 but was unsuccessful since I don't have a phone connection in my HT room. I may have to pickup a wireless phone jack if they ever start to enforce it being connected.

i want ppv as well! I still don't see what is so special regarding inhd.
