Summertime is always bad for TV, I am hoping things pick up as the summer
ends.

My unexpected treat was HDnet. The original specials are cool, but the
remasters of old TV shows (Square Pegs !!!) into HD was phenomenal. I was
stunned that such a thing was possible. I was a bit puzzled by their
decision to crop the pictures to 16x9 from the original 4x3, which is to my
eyes the equivalent of watching a pan-and-scan movie.

Not sure.

But there's definitely a lot of bad sentiment against Voom.

There's profound hatred for Cablevision (Voom owner) by many internet
posters .

Many of those folks seem to just love the notion of Voom's demise.

I think the failure of *any* HDTV provider is bad news for all of us.
