How's that PVR coming along?

[ChetK]

How's the PVR that was supposed to be out this last summer coming along?

Its due to arrive the same day Installs Inc. is given the JD Power top quality installer of the year award.

Voom's stance: PVR is against our religion.

Voom's statement: DVR coming soon!

ChetK,

How's your 4-6 HD channels coming along? Divide that by the $1k DVR cost and each channel is $167 to $250 per channel. Woo Hoo... I'll wait for the lease option...

Ah, that's always the argument isn't it? I've got news for you, you can only watch one channel at a time. And if you'd don't have a PVR, you often miss the actual shows you want to see.

You do have a point. I think everyone really does want one. I'm just not going to give up my HD motherload to get one (yet...)

I'm a channel flipper and am usually watching 2-3 shows at the same time. Question: Why doesn't VOOM go one up on everyone else in the world and offer a remote with a 2-3 previous channel memory list? That would be a good thing!

Actually VOOM replays their content on their exclusive channels so much that it is like having a poor man's DVR.

2 more weeks.

All kidding aside, I rarely sit down and watch a movie live. I'd rather record it to my PVR and play it back at my leisure than sit through an entire 1.5 to 2 hours at a stretch. PVR's have totally spoiled me. Besides, I can justify the degradation of PQ viewing it through my PVR, I can't justify it watching it live.

Its quantity, thats what I've learned. I dropped voom because of ongoing billing errors. Went to cable and have their hd dvr now, but I miss voom something awful. Cable has hdnet, hdnet movies, discovery hd, hbo-sho-strz hd, so thats like 6 or 7 hd channels. No east-west either, just one hd feed for cable. Having a hd recorder is very nice, but not much to record. I caught more hd programming with voom, even without a pvr, because they had the east-west feeds and their own voom channels. Yes, as you may have already guessed, I'm considering returning to voom. I rather have quantity. Why cant voom get their hd pvr going? They'd scoop the satellite world, with a pvr and all that programming, and truly give all the others a run for their $$$. I could actually see voom exceeding D* in popularity if their pvr came into the mix. It just makes no sense at all voom has none, especially this late in the game. Tragic!!!
