I had to watch the late hockey game (Calgary and somebody) on Comcast hd or ESPN sd on VOOM. The espnhd channel on VOOM was a series of mosaics, tiling,blackness--all very interesting if I was on acid--but I was not on acid. I was on my recliner.Regardless of whether the game was in hd or not, I should be able to get the channel ALL THE FRELLING TIME!!. Of course I probably will never address the issue seeing as I have ESPNHD on Comcast as well-which is always rock solid.
