I was a charter VOOM member that switched to Comcast when VOOM went under. I am now considering switching to E*. From what I recall most VOOM HD movies were cropped instead of being shown in their native format. Is this practice still the norm?

VOOM has been showing all newly acquired content OAR for more than a year. This isn't to say there may be some older material in their library that is cropped or otherwise butchered, but it's rare to see it.
Be aware, if you use the HDNET test pattern to adjust your overscan, it will be fine for all HD channels except for VOOM... some of their movie channels have black bars all over the place (too high or too low, they can't seem to center properly!) I don't know what they are doing there but it's not right and kind of annoying! But I'm glad to have as many HD choices as I do regardless of their lack of knowledge of centering!

The Voom channels are all over the place as far as centering/alignment. Have not noticed the problem with any other HD channels.
Tuesday's at 3:30 AM I think, browse the program guide you'll see it, i recorded it once and protected the recording (it's only like 10 minutes)
