What is PQ on VOOM?

[dogpoobob]

What kind of quality is being transmitted on the existing VOOM channels? Seems like I saw something a few months ago about PQ testers. Any results yet?

I think everything stopped since the FCC was unhappy E* was using Rainbow-1 and selling the VOOM HD channels. This may be another reason there has been little new content produced (appease the FCC so they do not appear to be marketing/expanding the VOOM HD Pak until the sale/transfer of 61.5 is approved).

Of course, it's much more fun to blame Jimmy Dolan.

PQ is very good, but it could be better; I believe only 2 channels are currenly at 1920x1080.

Rave HD (8PSK) 9470 TP3 61.5° R1
Equator HD (8PSK) 9471 TP7 61.5° R1
Gallery HD (8PSK) 9472 TP1 61.5° R1
Animania HD (8PSK) 9474 TP7 61.5° R1
Rush HD (8PSK) 9476 TP1 61.5° R1
Ultra HD (8PSK) 9478 TP5 61.5° R1
Guy TV HD (8PSK) 9479 TP3 61.5° R1
Majestic HD (8PSK) 9480 TP1 61.5° R1
Monster HD (8PSK) 9481 TP5 61.5° R1
HD News (8PSK) 9482 TP3 61.5° R1

Actually the PQ is not a problem. It is THE CONTENT. But for $5.00 I'll take it all the time.

If you can get a free 61.5 dish needed to receive some of your locals, then $5 for Voom is worth a try.

With very few exceptions, the VOOM channels' picture quality is superb. Even though there hasn't been much new content since April, it's still worth the very modest $5 each month.
