    10 Voom Channels - Compelling Content or Just HDTV?

    Compelling Content..yes! I too preferred OTA-HD(Locals ABC,CBS,NBC, & FOX) rather than DISH's HD Pack @$9.95, and did not want the original VOOM System. BUT, curiosity about the VOOM HD-10 Channel offer @ $5.95 and a call to DISH requesting a one(1) day "PREVIEW"(Not ALLOWED), led to me...
