    Would Voom Satellite be more successful in 2007?

    I was a Voom customer in 2004 and really liked the concept of a satellite provider that focused on HD channels and better PQ on the handfull of SD channels. I think a "Voom" type of service could be successful today with STB's with good ATSC tuners and HD feeds of the major networks in the top...

    Vip622 upgrade installation question

    This is most likely a dumb question, but I currently have two Vip211's and I'm considering the $199.00 upgrade to the Vip622 for my main room and I'm wondering if I will need dish to run a second satellite run from the dish or if there is a splitter that will work to accomodate the two-tuner...

    I subscribe to the basic Voom pakage(39.90) and I see on the voom web site that the plus-packs are $14.90 monthly.
