I can't wait to hear all the information. I'm heading to Sears right now to see how it looks.

VOOM

Sears here in Bay City Michigan still isn't online yet and either is the VOOM website and it is after the noon hour here. Not impressed at all so far with them

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I advise you to call Sears before heading out.

You might save yourself a trip

I had already verified it was up an running before I left

I stopped at Sears over lunch. It was pretty much what I expected. Quality was ok, not great not terrible. It was hard to get a good impression. They had a Dish Network feed of Discovery HD right next to the TV where Voom was. Sometimes Dish was better, sometimes Voom was better. (I couldn't get Discovery HD on Voom, so I was looking at different stations.) Bad news was that the receiver locked up twice on me, and we had to turn it off. They also still didn't have all the channels working. A lot of them were showing the same thing (Voom overview). I also only had about 15 minutes to play around, and the TV with Voom on it had some nasty reflections. I'll have to see how it looks on my FP setup at home next week.

Not what I was hoping for, but still not enough to make me want to cancel my installation next week.

PS: as expected the Sears employee new very little.
