1. $299 for install and HD receiver
2. 12-24 mont committment
3. If you want HD DirecTivo, another $1000
That's a lot of money. Even with both InHD and Hdnet, that is really too exppensive. I don't expect the HD Directivo to be less than $750 by Christmas, either.
I would use D* if they were cheaper and Pegasus wasn't involved.

If D* adds a significant amount of HD channels with great content and I can get actually get it (and thats a biggg if since I am not in an O&O) and I feel it is better than voom will have within say 6 months then I will cancel voom.

Who says it has to be all VOOM or all DTV? It may be that the best of both services is the answer. That is what I am doing for the present. Have canceled my HD package at DTV since VOOM duplicates all the channels except HDNET and it alone is not worth $10.99/mo. Will probably keep DTV for the time being until I see what NFL Ticket is like this year and because of Tivo. (Actually Tivo is the main reason for now)

you are correct about INHD on Voom. I NEVER said INHD wouldn't be coming to Voom-did I? I was asked about DirecTV after I decided to answer a sort of question on the subject. INHD will not tell me when it should be up on Voom, but they will tell it should be sometime in the near future. and by the way I added in the "wouldn't be surprised..." in the previous quote from seeing what INHD was telling me. And NO I do not work for DirecTV and have never worked for any satellite OR cable company at any point in time. I write from what I read and what I hear-I don't write from rumers.

I would expect Mr Cuban would be unhappy with that partneer then, but probably not unhappy enough to make a deal with Voom. Except for some sports, Voom specific content = InHD x10 both quantitaively & qualitatively. Aside from a few IMAX presentations, I have rarely watched either one except when it becomes a temporary home for NESN HD, which isnt really InHD.Hdnet Movies is more compelling than InHD, but it was still rarely watched for me (actually watched twice - Wild Things & The Wild Bunch, though I would have watched Battle of the Bulge).

That is both an unfair and yet ridiculously idiotic comparison. And also embarrassing for voom when you have to take into account 21 channels of HD bandwidth to compare to 2 HD channels. The mere fact that one can sit here and compare 21 channels to 2 channels is a glaring problem for vooms content.INhd has more "compelling" types of content than voom.
Do vooms exclusive channels look as good as hdnet or inhd on any platform? NO the only thing I have seen that compares to those 2 channels is CBS HD OTA at fullbandwidth.
does voom have hd boxing on its exclusives? NO
does voom have HD MLS soccer on its exclusives? NO, but they have euro soccer.
does voom have any HD college basketball on its exclusives? NO
does voom have HD kick boxing on its exclusives? NO
does voom have HD concerts. yes probably more, but im not sure because they are the same ones over and over again

Voom has no money down and no stupid contract to sign. :yes
I always wanted to get away from my rip off cable but never had the nerve to sign 2-4 years of my life away. They claim to offer more HD content and that's what got me interested at first and the offer with no money down and no contract sealed the deal.
We can argue over this or that but I'm sure there are many more like me who joined because of the offer and promise of HD channels. With more subscribers they should get more channels and thus more subscribers and so on, right?
Eh, it's silly to argue over something that's not confirmed yet anyway.

vurbano,
I always root for you on AVS against the DirecTV and Dish fanboys, but I am taken aback when my contentions are called idiotic. You basically said if we don't get InHD then you are going elsewhere, just like an apt poster in a different thread talked about I'm leaving Voom if we don't get ESPN, TNT-HD, and now this.
First comparing 21 to 2 channels being quantitively x10 because it is. Comparing dropping qualitatively the 21 channels to get 2 is subjective. My thoughts were based on actually having InHD and being completely underwhelmed, understanding that your mileage may vary.
I have to admit no interest in HD kickboxing, but I would say Voom has quantitavely more HD hours of sports. The movies are fewer & as oftenly repeated, and having the ability to tape them I can say I have never taped one.
So my contention remains, quantitatively and as to the rest, subjectively, InHD is a snoozer. That said, theme channels that only reason to exist is to provide HD content are temporary business models as HD becomes more pervasive (and I assume Cuban understands that, despite not showing TV shows in OAR). Monsters is good because of themed content, not because it's an HDxxx channel.
So "idiotic" is beneath you, but healthy debate is good. I guess I'll have to be immersed in SD kickboxing to see if I need a fix in HD kickboxing :) I'm sure it's not idiotic, even in my jaded subjective opinion.

I didn't know about credit on HD DirecTivo. Pegasus deal doesn't expire until 8/31. Pegasus doesn't carry HD equipment. You have to go to BB or CC, sign up and pay for equipment, then call someone for install, then call Pegasus to activate.

So "idiotic" is beneath you, but healthy debate is good. I guess I'll have to be immersed in SD kickboxing to see if I need a fix in HD kickboxing :) I'm sure it's not idiotic, even in my jaded subjective opinion.I would gladly sacrifice the "current" content of :
RAVE (how many times can we watch the same concerts over and over),
RUSH ( 2003 gravity games, moto pig? wake me up when the kiddy shows are over),
ULTRA ( i guess liz taylor watches this?), MOOV(thats just a bizzare business move),
3 cinema channels(which could easily be combined with the others), and
worldsport (how many times can you watch the japanese world series? or reruns of euro soccer games?)
in exchange for the content of INHD1 and 2 or HDnet and hdnetmovies. these channels bring content that for some reason VOOm just refuses to air or cannot buy.
You have no justification to criticize hdnet or INhd these networks are wanted by both sat companies and cable companies!
ANybody beating down Dolans door to carry any one of the voom exclusives? NOPE.
ANy one of them now, comeon tell me?...NOPE.
Anyone beating down Dolans door to carry all of them as a package? NOPE.
Again, to compare INHD1 and 2 to 21 channels is not a fair comparison. certainly 21 channels can carry as much content as 2 channels. But sadly the exclusives have failed to carry the most desirable content that hdnet and inhd have. But the funny thing is it is plausible to consider giving up 6 or 7 channels for them.
I would gladly challenge anyone to watch Rush and Rave for a month straight while I watch INhd for a month. they will be ready for a straight jacket after all the repeats and Ho hum bicycle tricks. IMO vacation activities(parasailing etc) and exercise activities (mountain biking) are not sports.
AS for leaving voom, thats an evaluation I will make at the end of the year. If D* adds everything that voom has less the exclusives and if D* gets INHD after already having hdnet? yeah im probably gone.

As far as not having justification, I don't need justification to criticize lackluster content. I had it (HDnets) & have it (InHD) and I have a right to a subjective opinion, or is that idiotic too? :shocked
And I'm not a Voom fanboy and don't give a damn if you leave over these, more "idiotic" reasons (e.g., I can't live w/o Food channel).

No, you have a right too it no matter what it is. And someone else has the right to consider that opinion idiotic. Yes to say that INhd1,2 and the hdnets content is NOT more compelling than the voom exclusives is ridiculous and frankly laughable. NHL, MLS, MLB. college basketball, HD boxing, Kick boxing. Does voom have more content... I think so, with 21 exclusives running reruns they still may have more. Is it more desireable content? NO way. Will voom survive without it? In the end I dont think so. Will D* catch up this year? maybe not. But if they do, I think its over before voom even spins off, (they havent raised the cash for that yet?) At least voom was put on notice by someone. Tell me how much sense does an HD DVR make if your going to have 21 channels of repeats?

I can tell this is coming from someone who has never had INHD 1 & 2 on your TV at your house. otherwise you wouldn't be saying that. INHD 1 & 2 are two of the best HD channels broadcast and shouldn't even be compared to HDNET, becuase they are complely different channels.

Well he did say it in a fireside Charlie Chat, it was actually the one that followed the "no compelling HD" chat which rose significant speculation of a potential Voom buy-out (unfounded of course, but side benefit would be getting bandwidth in the bargain).
I guess you have had a few bad days/weeks to lack even a modicum of tact in healthy debate. What I find frankly laughable would be to buy a DVR to record the exclusives. Personally, (but I guess only your subjective opinion counts), I would be recording premium content like I do on HD cable (and incidentally don't find any on InHDs worth recording - except that one IMAX movie I never found the time to watch). Then again I never bought Voom for the exclusives, despite enjoying some great classics (Seven Days in May, The Great Race, some Monsters schlock, but fun schlock). I bought it to get every other premium network with the added avdantage of the 3 hour replay important until the DVRs come out. I would say we could agree to disagree, but I bet you would be disagreeable to that. :(
Now when was that kickboxing on InHD & Hogan's Heroes baddly cropped on HDnet? :rolleyes:

When Mini cashes his paycheck every week, it's signed- Love, Rupert!

then you have never actully spend time seeing what great programming they offer. I bet when when seawaves cashes his paycheck every week it is signed -"to my head promo person, Charles Dolan" or even better "Charlie Ergen".

vurbano,
just a friendly advice: you are weakening your arguments by calling opinions different from your own "idiotic, ridiculous and laughable."
Yes to say that INhd1,2 and the hdnets content is NOT more compelling than the voom exclusives is ridiculous and frankly laughable

At least you are consistent (redundant) in an understatedly unjustifiable & idiotic manner, subjectively (and for comedic effect) of course
:yes And don't call me Frank[ly]
I think the compelling content on InHD today was A Dog's Day In Manhattan and HDnet is repeats of cancelled series with too short a run to go into syndication. I need a DVR for that! Sometimes you get what you ask for, then the disappointment sets in. Minime, I assume you have Voom to do a useful comparison and aren't just troling, right?

I just wish you'd add a signature that says " I sub to DirecTV and i'm a professional Voom slammer"
Mini: I will take back everything I've said- If you spend the next week in the Voom forums here talking about all the great things about Voom. But I've had all three SAT companies and I can compare them. Do you have Voom? I'm sure the asnwer is no.
Do I only have Voom now? Yes, I do and yes, you are right when you say they are NOT perfect. For the record, I did agree that Dolan is a spoiled baby in another post, so I doubt I'll be getting any money from him.
But, I have now gotten seven friends to sign up, so I'm making Voom money.

It is not about beating the crap out of anything, urbano. Honestly, the only thing in this schedule that is mildly interesting to me is the Cure concert. Tonight, I will watch my RedSox (~3hours). On cable :eek:

I apologize for the using the word idiotic. I didnt mean to suggest that you were an idiot. We just value different content.

IMO it is a kick ass schedule for one day. Sure would like 21 channels of this type of content.
