With all the TV manufactures pushing HI DEF in all the stores when in
reality there is little to no real selection of programming available. They
should buy Voom to keep the industry alive or who is going to support this
format when only a few channels provide a signal in HI Def? The FCC made it
maditory that networks be HI Def capable, Sets are selling...
Wheres the programming? Something has got to give. Theres no question the
quality is there. The product is available and is crystal clear.......why
are not the big compaines getting behind this? it cant be for lack of a
market ...whats the deal? prices have fallen down to be affordable to almost
everyone.... I just dont understand why no one is running to pick up the
ball and run with it.

I just want to add to this picture. I work as a sound mixer for film and video in the Seattle area and I can tell you that the number of shoots I've been on lately that are HD have been increasing exponentially. I just shot the last two days for a TLC automotive show called Rides in HD and last week for two other national programs. This is very different from a year ago when all of these types of shows were still shooting Beta Cam SP. I think the number of HD channels is going to increase very soon. This years NAB show in April will have an explosion of affordable HDV cameras and editing tools and the content will surely follow. Look for all the reality shows to make a change in the next year as well as many of the cable/sat type shows. The providers I'm sure will follow shorty when the content arrives.

DUDE, WHERE'S THE PROGRAMMING????
The paint's barely dry on most ATSC transmitters and already CBS, NBC and ABC are almost exclusively HD at nights. Every cable pay movie service has HD and there are probably half-a-dozen other HD-only networks.
It's a good thing you weren't around in 1954 when NTSC color hit the market with tiny sets costing 1/4 of the average annual salary.
It wasn't until 11 years later in 1965 that NBC's night line up went "mostly" color - the first to do so.

>>The FCC made it

WRONG!!!
There are 18 ATSC broadcast formats! Broadcasters can use any one they please. They have to be digital...they DON'T have to be HD.
And while voom might have a great picture, the content is boring. And yes, it IS because of lack of market. Only a small minority of Americans own HD capable sets. Hell, there's only 1 or 2 HD commercials ever made....and I'll leave up to you to guess why.
Learn how the marketplace works before you start these ignorant rants.

I'm so sick of people getting this wrong. The FCC mandated that broadcasters broadcast digitally, but not necessarily Hi def.

Vooms doom has a lot more to do with a dumb business model than it does with the number of HD capable sets. Voom did not have most of the common SD channels that people already watch and have grown used to, eg CNN, FOX, History, CNBC, MSNBC.... The people that are watching these on cable or sat had 3 choices,
1 - Switch to Voom and give up a lot of what they now watch (and cable customers would also need to install a regular antenna to receive locals in HD) 2 - Add Voom and have two service bills, deal with installation/integration issues 3 - Do nothing
That most chose option 3 should be no surprise, especially when HD content is expanding on cable/sat, though not as fast as we all would like.

just my 2 cents: Voom provides off the air antenna (included with installation), has 3 room installation for 1$, voom has had the SD channels you listed for at least half a year now....and just added a bunch of new channels in the last month, and saying that their content is boring is your opinion, and yes I have Voom. now starts all the doom of voom rants again, and as long I still get it I am not complaining nor looking into other options as I have seen directTV's and dish's offerings and I cringe to think I would have to change to one of them. Or worse, go back to cable.
