According to the VOOM web site VOOM now offers over 40 HD channels - not including HD locals. This is up from the 39 HD channels currently advertised in the VOOM television commercial.

Wilt - I think my box needs to be replaced because it only receives 37 HD channels?
Who should I call?
 
RE: [VOOM] VOOM now offers over 40 HD Channels

According to http://www.voom.com/use_it/channel_lineup.jsp there are only 37
HD channels including HD News (100) and Voom Info (999)

So where are the other 3 HD channels?

First off VOOM does NOT have 40+ HD channels. You can not count locals as they are NOT HD channels they just broadcast certain shows in HD. For a channel to be HD ever show/movie has to be HD. So they only have 37 HD channels. I don't know why they continue to lie

Re: [VOOM] Re: VOOM now offers over 40 HD Channels

They all lie. Don't think that it is just VOOM. If you go by your standard of HD not even HBOHD or ShowtimeHD or ESPNHD are HD stations. All their programming is not in HD. Besides I just got a flyer from Comcast it claims that they provide "more local and HD channels than satellite". That can't be the truth as long as VOOM is around.

yep.. the FCC cries foul about a hot woman in a towel but does nothing about
Viagra/Calias commercials on 24x7 and does nothing about blatant false
advertisement. Guess we know who pads their bank accounts..

It's here: http://voom.com/get_it/compare_offers.jsp

This is extremely deceptive - it is one thing if you are exagerating your offerings in a brochure inviting people to check into your service but it is a completely different story when you are comparing yourself to another service quantitatively and inflating your own numbers.

I mean, why not lie about the price your charge as well or say the others only offer 1 HD channel or that they charge $200 per month.
