slacker, you canceled your Voom subscription, didn't you?
Yup, with 6 free weeks of VaVaVoom remaining ... that is how bad the PQ is. This is verses the 7 YEARS I have had DirecTV.
I also agree with keno ... hard to compare what Voom doesn't have and will not likely produce in 2004.
Oh one more thing! If you are in a metro area that has a decent selection of OTA channels (NBC, CBS, etc) an HD Tivo will also record these, which from my readings across many, many forums is what most are watching in HD anyway.
DirecTV's full time HD lineup DOES STINK currently but has Discovery HD, HBO HD and SHO HD. The lineup will get better but not until about this time next year. Unless you are a football fan ... The NFL Sunday Ticket (D* only) will have 100 live NFL HD broadcasts this season, PLUS what you can pull over OTA. Voom is the King of HD but the PQ will kill you, I got it mostly for StarZHD which was breaking up ALL THE TIME.
If you buy an HD DVR from anyone for any service it will cost you out the nose until 2006, that is why I returned mine ... too much money too little quality programming.
