day one, the saga begins.

no show. i contacted voom and it seems that someone forgot to schedule me for today.

now i am scheduled for 3/21. no harm no foul, i still have direct tv.

For a company who lacks customers, they are sure busy. They forgot to schedule you, now you have to wait another 2 weeks. Man...I would be upset.

LETTERMAN: Johnny, what would you do?"

CARSON: "David, I would walk."

DISH NETWORK!!

never run for a bus. there is another one coming soon.

i rarely get upset.

So Rick did you ever get hooked up, if so what do you think?

Jack - don't know if your into this or not...

My 2 yr old and I watch a train show on RFD - Sundays at 3pm.

we always paid for the nfl season pass. $150.00.

there was a waste last year because most of the games i wanted to watch were on either fox or cbs and they were all in hd.

voom is in and up and running with no problems. we watch the box on hd in the living room and we tape some movies in the bedroom. it turns out if the signal is in hd, the vcr will records it in hd and we can watch it in the living room where the hd tv set is located. there is some loss, but my eyes aren't that good anyway.

other then court tv, i watch the travel stuff in hd. the pictures are beautiful.

it's true most of the special programs they have in hd are old movies, but toby likes the old movies and this is an excellent way for her to see them.

the people at voom did not know i could program something to tape and also program the receiver to turn on. they suggested i just leave their receiver on all the time.

the installation was free and i convinced them to give me their full vavavavoom $99.00 pkg for three months at $49.00 and i am commited for three more months at $99.00

so far i don't see any reason to change back to direct tv. right now voom probably has the least amount of decent programing to offer, so it can only improve, but the picture quality is in fact better then the direct tv.

newer satellite, different part of the sky, who knows.
