I recently picked up Time Warner Cable(TWC) again with an HD/DVR (only records in Digital) and canceled Voom. After a week here is my comparison to Voom.
Voom picture quality and sound is superior to that of time warner, especially on HD. I never had my tv louder than 4, but now w/ TWC i'm back to turning it up to 8-9.
Programming is easily won by TWC. I picked up a digital movie pack (encore channels/Sun/IFC) and have watched 7 movies already, compared to the 1 movie i watched in 6 months on Voom movie channels. Really enjoy having HGTV back as well. I do miss worldsport though!
Receiver goes to TWC again. No problems w/ the receiver, no rebooting once a day and a channel guide that always works. Plus i don't get CSPAN showing up on ESPN2(or SciFi on TNT or no ESPN HD at all).
Local channels - This was a big reason for the switch, i was having a lot of problems w/ reception. Good to know i can watch football and not miss every 10 seconds of it.
DVR has changed our lives, couldn't wait another 6 months for Voom.
HDNet / INHD are worthless channels. I don't know why people want them so bad. Save the space and the $ and pass on them. Same quality of movies offered on Voom.
I love the concept of Voom and thats why i tried it. I think in general true HD content is 2+ years away yet. What's out there is very repetitive. I hope they can hold out, and maybe i'll be back someday.
