It's spilt milk now, but they never marketed it that way, which was my point.

Okay, I'm certainly not in marketing, and I don't presume that I would have had the foresight to suggest all of this at Voom's launch, but now that we're sitting at Voom's bedside, waiting for it to flatline, I have to ask... Once it was obvious that people weren't signing on in droves, WHY...

That's one more sign that you two were not on the same page. The HR10-250 records OTA HD locals presently.

You might wanna double-check either the HD or the DVR part of that receiver, because the only HD-DVR DirecTV offers right now is the HD Tivo HR10-250, which is expen$ive even if you're a new customer and you commit for a year. If they truly offered that, it sounds like... well, a mistake. ;)

Doesn't matter. My point was that the shutdown of Rainbow DBS's Voom operation could be seen as beneficial for an independent entity that wants to acquire those assets. The obvious argument against my suggestion is that you're alienating your existing customers by putting them through...

Until recently, I had E*, Comcast, and Voom, and I would rate them all pretty close in terms of HD PQ. The new encoding that Voom is using does cause some artifacting during rapid transitions, but I don't see major problems with it during normal viewing. In fact, it's a little ironic that the...

Okay, so apparently they should build at least 30 of these things. :) This isn't quite the in-depth discussion of the merits of the idea that I had hoped for in starting the thread, but while we're at it ADD ME!

There was a twinge of of sadness here too as I watched Happy Gilmore last night. Edit: Then Bob Barker said "Bitch" and I was fine.

As Scott has mentioned, the DVR is close, despite the lack of official information from VoOm. As a company, VoOm seems to be interested in sending signals that it isn't going anywhere anytime soon. In the spirit of that, why not institute an early sign-up program for the DVR for existing...
