gtDark Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I can't believe you guys complaining when you have 15-20 HD channels. Comcast here in Atlanta gets fewer than 5 (not counting local) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easylistener Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 1,000's post. Why are you still dealing with cable if you want HD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easylistener Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I had Voom installed today. Let me tell you that the PQ is awsome. I am waiting for the update to make things work faster. I should get it tonight. So many hd channels. They also installed a 50 element wingard antenna for locals. I can't get cbs so I called them and they are going to install a pre amp and amp. All this for free. Well worth it. So far I am very happy with the service and the people are great. Take a look at them well worth the money. Figure I would give a update.

I can see the differnce between old movies up converted and true hd shows that were shot with hd camaras. The upconverted ones are so much better than normal tv picture. They look like good dvd picture. All of the programing is in 1080i except some of my locals. They have less compression and you can see it on the shows that use HD camaras. I was watching trading spaces this morning and it is a much better picture than directv's trading spaces. I received the update last night and the channel changing is as fast if not faster then Directv. There SD channels aren't bad either. They are as good as directv.

jvcarter Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 The Voom Website has Espn HD listed as one of the channels that they offer. http://www.voom.com/see_it/programming.jsp I hope that this is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
