Its quantity, thats what I've learned. I dropped voom because of ongoing billing errors. Went to cable and have their hd dvr now, but I miss voom something awful. Cable has hdnet, hdnet movies, discovery hd, hbo-sho-strz hd, so thats like 6 or 7 hd channels. No east-west either, just one hd feed for cable. Having a hd recorder is very nice, but not much to record. I caught more hd programming with voom, even without a pvr, because they had the east-west feeds and their own voom channels. Yes, as you may have already guessed, I'm considering returning to voom. I rather have quantity. Why cant voom get their hd pvr going? They'd scoop the satellite world, with a pvr and all that programming, and truly give all the others a run for their $$$. I could actually see voom exceeding D* in popularity if their pvr came into the mix. It just makes no sense at all voom has none, especially this late in the game. Tragic!!!
Besides, I can justify the degradation of PQ viewing it through my PVR, I can't justify it watching it live.
