No envy here. My 50 inch plasma is big enough for me and mosquito noise is not something that I need to be embarrassed about when my friends come over to watch HD programming. As I said before, I don't expect Voom to put much effort into tweaking their PQ to satisfy people like DarrellP with 9 foot or bigger screens. Sorry DarrellP.

While my modest 92" screen isn't quite as big as DarrllP's, I have to agree with him. It really bugs me to see video that isn't as good as it could be because of overcompression and low bandwidth(sat) or a poor transfer(dvd). To me it looks like the trend in HD tv's is they keep getting bigger.

I don't trust birds, especially those working for E*.

No it's not paranoia. But it is posted here to help anyone thinking of getting Voom. And like I said before, if you don't like what I write, don't read it.

It's not about "liking". Besides, I read a lot of stuff that I don't like. Anyway, I simply disagree with your assessment of Voom and I don't understand why, long after you cancelled Voom, you keep coming back and always with the same negative attitude.

SonicRob - Does the period key work on your keyboard? I feel like I have to take a huge breath before I read your posts just to get through the tremendous run-on sentences you post!
FYI, SonicRob, "I" should be capitalized.SonicRob said:Yeah my Keyboard works sometimes so i guess it does work now if i could take Grammer classes to learn how to write better i feel like not posting in here because people complain. LOL
I Had to pay for the HD Reciever.
But when I added it all up, I will have paid it off in 10 months with the savings.
So that is a big trade off, from Vooms Free Reciever, to having to buy one.
I was very hesitant and didn't want to do it, but I didn't want to pay Voom another $10 Month come January 1st.
This Deal by Voom right now is pretty good.
Get all VOOM equipment with up to 3 receivers
• Only $1 installed! Then just $5/month per receiver! (With 6-month commitment to VOOM programming)
• Add 4th, 5th and 6th receivers: each $49 installed and $5/month
If I did the same package I have now and what I am getting with D* I would pay Voom
New monthly charges
(excluding taxes):
$79.80
As it is now, the first 3 months of D* is $51.99, next 3 $62.00, then $74.00 after the first 6 months.
So the Current Voom offer is good. And you do get more HD Channels.
Where D* in the long run is saving me a bit of money, get the HD channels I want, mainly local and sports, and more SD channels.
So it was a really tough call to go to D*, but it's worth the shot.
Voom I could always come back too if they get more channels and their prices don't much higher.
