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?
What is PQ on VOOM?

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.

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.
