Within 2 years after Sony conceded (which everyone assumes was in 1988 when they began manufacturing VHS recorders) Betamax recorders/media were no longer available in the US (for home recording/viewing purposes). However, Betamax was still produced up until 2002 in Japan. It's entire lifespan was 27 years. It was hardly a "viable" format for any more than 4-6 years as "viable" went out the window with Sony's stubbornness.

OK, I agree with your definition of 2 years then ('88-'90). But I disagree with your 4-6 years of viability. I could buy or rent Betamax movies in 1977, and I could buy or rent them in 1990.

Betamax also had a life in the late 80's as an audiophile product, as you could record PCM audio to it.

If there's one thing BetaMax vs VHS taught us, it's the ability of Americans to rally around an inferior product just because they're told to.

Did Voom show the Nascar race in HD,What about any Major league Baseball/ Football. How about new premier movies in HD? How about new CSI,or Law in Order, Live Boxing, All Voom ever played was old movies and TV shows ,cartoons OVER AND OVER. I would rather watch Deadliest catch in HD for 1 hour then the entire Voom line up. There was Never anything on Voom! Just because its HD all the time doesn't make the same old boring movies and Shows any better. Whats on Voom that is exclusive? Repeated Old content. If you were lucky maybe 1 or 2 new CFL football games.

ummm, VOOM Hater?

When I was on ship in 1992 - 1993, I brought my SuperBetaHiFi because all movies on ship were in beta format and we could borrow them to watch down in medical.

As a guy from Honesdale you should be able to understand this!
Dish without Voom = Flyers
Dish with Voom = Penguins

We are quoting DBSTALK stats here? Ha! They are all D* fans, how could you filter those out of the voting?

The poll here, http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-hd-...-what-now.html, shows 65% are disappointed or unhappy and only 35% didn't care or were fine with Voom going away.

As for only 35% calling Dish to complain - that only means that 35% were so mad that even thugh they knew that calling India was useless, they did it anyway.

If you were to poll on your favorite channels, you would find even fewer people actually watch them.
