Look last night Rave HD, and Showtime HD west were just unwatchable, so I post here and over at yahoo to get Wilt's attention. I get several responses here, where folks see the same exact thing. Over there I get one response saying they see it, one saying they haven't watched Rave lately, but they know the picture to be great, and one saying VOOM has a better picture than Comcast cable? What the *&!!@ kind of response are those? C'mon we have one guy who obviously checked and saw the problem, and helped me by replying they saw it, and hopefully get Wilt's attention on the matter. But then you have a couple of local idiots that doesn't even check to see if he has a problem with Rave, and decide just to stick up for VOOM. Look, I am all for backing VOOM, as I want to see them succeed too, but if there are problems you see folks, do not hesitate to post over at Yahoo, call VOOM, or do what ever it takes to get there attention, to let them know, we will not stand for inferior PQ! We are paying for a service they provide. And I agreed to pay for that service, because I saw a great picture, with minimal picture issues. Now I am getting problems just about every day with at least one or more channels. When folks do post some problem, please do not reply, you don't see it, without giving the channel in question a good look. Just flipping to the channel for a few seconds might not be enough time to see the problem. If you don't have the time to spend 5 minutes or so to check out the problem, don't even bother replying. We need good honest info on these problems to help VOOM help us people. It doesn't help when trouble posts become an argument between those who do see it, and those who don't. Fact is there are problems with VOOM at the moment, and without these complaints THEY WON'T FIX IT! Again I want to see VOOM succeed just like the rest of you, but I will not turn a blind eye to problems I definitely see!
I really think that some people refuse to pull the blinders from their eyes because they want something to great. I'm 100% in support of Voom but their PQ loss needs to be fixed. I didn't come to Voom to have a million channels like all the other providers out there, I came to Voom for the HD content and it sucks that they can't bring it to us as good as it should be. I'd gladly ditch the majority of the SD channels to bring compression free HD to our sets. I'd leave the 500 channel packages to the other PQ butchers out there.
