Yes, got a power spike at work yesterday of > 170 volts for 40 minutes.
Blew out 43 desktops, and 14 batteries. Been up all night
I wonder that strange new games will be played at VOOM over the next 24 hours: Website Roulette, Who Pulled the Power, Duopoly, I Don't Have a Clue (aka The Jimmy Dolan Game), Cablevision Twister, Scramble [For Another Extension], Sorry...Dad!, You're Fired...Son! Today and Tomorrow should be very interesting to say the least.
Yeah PHIL...I TOO worked all last night...take a chill pill...was just thinking outload....and "stop wasting bandwidth" with the negative vibe....
I boldly predict that today we shall hear ... nothing.
And that I'll wake up tomorrow and watch Voom.

I hope they are around longer then 60 days. After watching a local ABC do a HD piece on TV last nite where there were VOOM plugs for HDNews and 40+ HD stations. The best part was they did the studio part of the show with a $3500 Sony HDcam and it looked great.
Which ABC affiliate did it air on? What city was it in? Was it about Voom specifically or HD in general?

The Boston one.
Chronicle LINK
It talked about "HD 101" and shows program that are in HD and how Boston sports teams were the 1st in the nation to all HD. It talk about HDNews and what Voom offer. It said Dish and Direct had some but VOOM was the motherload of HD. It had ESPN's representative saying it will take 3-5 year for ESPN-HD to have 50-75% of it's programs in HD and close to decade to be 100% full HD.
THIS JUST IN.....

VOOM Gets Large Investment
Thursday, March 31 @ 12:30:00 PST
Cablevision chairman Charles Dolan told FCC officials that he would personally put a $400M stake in the struggling satellite service.
"Everyone who follows the VOOM story knows that Cablevision chairman Charles Dolan looks at the HDTV satellite service as his own pet project. Now Dolan reportedly is really putting his money where his mouth is. Dolan told FCC officials that he will make a $400,000,000 personal commitment to save the struggling satellite provider and Cablevision has plans to raise even more money to keep the project afloat. The catch is that Dolan wants the FCC to nix the deal that would have sold VOOM's satellites to Dish Network."
