I'm very saddened to see VOOM go. Anyone who thinks VOOM was not beaming a high quality HD picture signal hasn't seen what I'm looking at on my Sony 57 inch. Yes, some movies were not shot in HD originally, (35mm for example) but being broadcast in HD still gives you the best possible way to see the movie.
And, some of us did enjoy watching Gallery and the Auction channel among all the other channels offered. There IS a remote control allowing us to pick and choose whatever appealed to us. There even was a channel for the gay community, (not my thing I might add, but interesting movies nevertheless).
I have a very hard time watching non-HD pictures now on a larger screen size (I'm spoiled rotten, I'm afraid) and will have to scramble to find another decent HDTV service.
I do agree that the marketing of VOOM could have been better. Also, for those on the west coast, -if your signal wasn't too strong, that of course is a valid issue.
Oh well, as a subscriber, I will miss VOOM very much.
I wonder if I can keep the set-top box to continue to watch my local HD channels.
Over and out!
