Voom advertising on ESPN.com

This may be old news, but there are some Voom banners on ESPN's web site now. And if you go into the 'Game Update' section for the Tennessee Miami game, it has an 'ESPN NFL presented by Voom' banner across the top.

Here's the link while the game is still being played:

Good link, maybe Voom/ESPN are very friendly with each other and that means ESPN2HD on Voom in January?

There's also a Voom banner on Home Theater magazine's web site - www.hometheatermag.com. With my slow-ass dial-up service it's a few seconds where that's all I see before the rest of the page comes up.

So when will VOOM stop upconverting ESPNHD to 1080 instead of leaving it native at 720p?

Does it really matter? It looks good that way, maybe they should leave it. I've compared ESPNHD on Dish and Voom and also on my Dish by switching from 1080i to 720p and I think it looks a tad better at 1080i. Kind of weird when my pj is 720p native, it makes a 1080i signal look better than a 720p signal.

I also noticed on Voom's newsletter they are pimping games on ESPNHD... Dolan's taking Eisner out to lunch apparently.
