Saw an interesting article about Voom @ Forbes.com. I thought those of you subscribed to Voom might be interested in reading it. I tried to see if somebody else posted it but I did not see that it was, but if it was I apologize.
Article:---> Voom @ Forbes
Some Highlights:
First impression: Even the standard-definition television programs shown in the regular 4:3 aspect ratio were noticeably crisper and more vivid than over the DirecTV HD system. Dennis Kron, special installations manager, said that's because Voom's satellite transmissions are less compressed. In other words, Voom devotes a much wider section of its bandwidth to each of its channels, whether high-def or standard.
Voom executives plan to have enough satellite capacity by the end of 2005 to broaden their lineup to 94 high-def channels and more than 300 in standard definition.
