Everything's A-OK!

I haven't seen a Voom Appreciation thread in a while.

I've been Vooming for two months, my box has never locked up, my installer was early to the appointment and finished in 1.5 hours. I haven't had any billing errors, and I'm really happy with the programming (even MOOV!). I had INHD on Comcast beforehand, and I seriously haven't missed it one bit. And, with my tiny (30" 16:9)Toshiba 30HF83, the picture looks phenomenal. To all of you guys seeing the macroblocking and other artifacting, buy a smaller TV

The only thing I do miss is the non-WGN Cubs games, but baseball season is nearly over anyway.

With all of the moaning going on in this forum, I think its important to give the other side of the picture. Its not all doom and gloom.

Take that, squeaky wheels!

Chicago is a big sports market to break, if Rainbow gives Comcast Fox Florida HD feed then they should be able to close a deal with Comcast Sports and Voom for that area.

I have a 60" RPTV and it's not all bad PQ, it's there I talk about it in hopes it gets resolved, but I love my Voom. Been on since May and I like seeing these kinds of threads instead of the "OMG I Canceled Voom because they don't have SD!"

I too am in the Chicago area; aren't you gettting WGN local on channel 9-1 or 9-2 with all the Cubs games?
also, I am a refugee from DTV, and the 4 hd channels for 10.95 a month, and I must say, I am happy with Voom so far also..no billing errors, good install, not much PQ issues, and I too am amazed at all the griping on this forum..
Critiscism is a good thing, but when it becomes obsessive, nothing good ever comes of it!

when it becomes obsessive

How else are these big DBS companies going to slow the spread of HD?

I am seriously looking at going in this direction. :shocked

/me LMAO @Dvlos!!

gotta have a sense of humor!

And DarrellP, for a long time I wished I had a monster setup like yours; I guess with the PQ issues that occur, I am glad I "settled" for a small 56" DLP!

I use VOOM with a 120" diagonal screen and an InFocus SP7200 projector. The picture quality is not an issue for me. Even SD channels like FOX News look much better than D* did.

Todd, what's your screen width to viewing ratio? Mine's 1.78 screen widths back. I am looking at maybe scaling down to a 90" or so screen size, maybe that will help hide some artifacts. Keep in mind, I have an extremely critical eye and ears, the slightest burp bugs the hell out of me.
