I was a Voom subscriber back when they were a satellite service and had their own service. This was BEFORE Dish Network showed the channels.
They definately had the highest HD picture quality at the time and I liked it alot.
Unfortunately, they repeated alot of the programs at the time. Hopefully they have more programming to show!
I definately wouldn't mind having Voom on FIOS! |

Fox Business HD does not show SD programming. They have been 100% HD since the launch. This of course means studio shows and not all clips.
As for CNBC. They are called CNBC HD+ for a reason. They admittedly are not really HD, rather, a wide screen channel to give more information, but with SD quality studio shows.
Your wrong. Fox Business is hardly true HD, but rather a knock-off of that CNBC+ wings crap. And I don't want to hear that they do that on purpose to get in all the financial data because that's hardly the case. They just won't broadcast 16x9 true HD, so they go with 4:3 w/ an HD wing. In contrast, all of CNN's primetime and morning show broadcast in beaufiful 16x9 1080i. I just don't watch any "HD" channels that try to pass off 4:3 w/ a HD wing. Those wings are just screen filler and it seems many channels are following the leader, that being CNBC+. So now we are talking about 16x9? I thought we were talking about HDTV.
HDTV broadcasts are not required to be 16x9. They are required to be a minimum of 720p, but the aspect ratio can be 4:3. Fox Business Network HD is 100% HD. CNBC HD+ is not. I never said it was 100% 16x9, and it isn't required to be. If you spent all this time thinking that if it wasn't 16x9, it automatically wasn't HD, you are mistaken. Sure, most channels take advantage of 16x9 for their HD broadcasts, but they are not required to as HD is defined.
In any event, nobody is twisting your arm and forcing you to watch Fox Business HD. If you don't like it, don't watch. I will continue to watch it, in all its HD glory.
Have a good evening. |
