I found this interesting. Flipping through the channels I found an informercial (or "paid programming") advertising VoOm. Never seen that before. It's on my local WB affiliate as of now (4PM EST).

A side note, I found it while finetuning one of my OTA antennas and happened to notice my WB digital OTA broadcast is about 1/2 second ahead of the analog OTA broadcast. In the past I've always seen the opposite, for all stations the analog broadcast seems 1-2 seconds ahead of the digital broadcast. I've always assumed that was from delay introduced by the station's MPEG encoders.

But anyways, it's interesting stumbling on this infomercial, especially at this point in time. :)

You're right, Vicki, it's been awhile, maybe 3 months or so. I never watch PAX, it was a fluke that I caught it the first time since they had just gone digital. Since Voom can't provide me guide data for PAX, I have no idea what is on.
