    Common sense says VOOM/HD Select is not dead!

    you could get the 942 model it has 3 tuners in 1, HD you can use, there's a second output for your friend and both can use the tuner or hard disk to view programming as for the ota stuff only can see it on the hd tv. BTW whats the deal with the 922 you can get one free if you sub for a year?

    Now that's Voom's fate is know.

    it boils down to what charles is going to do with the transponders on 61.5, if it goes to dishnet it would be nice if he offered the voom exclusives and dishnet would carry the torch so to speak and then migrate everyont to dishnet, it has been done with international channels that were on...

    Where are all the VOOMERS Going?

    you know if charles dolan was smart, he'd sell the 61.5 transponder lots on condition dishnet carries his hd channels, this way dishnet can migrate everyone to their system this way. it has happened in the past where there were some international channels on the regular fta kuband receivers...

    Dropping D* - Finally!

    as long as dishnet/directv don't add lots of hd channels to their system which it looks like they don't care to or won't at this time til they think voom is a threat to them voom still has room to succeed and this is the system i will be getting.

    DirectTV came to my house, tried to get me to switch

    you would think that dishnet/directv would ATLEAST carry all their premium channels in hd which they don't even on big dish 4dtv they don't even carry starz or tmc in hdtv so it sort of tells you how far ahead voom is.

    Future Voomer..(maybe)

    you know what will get be hooked on voom when they get rid of the mandatory $200 installation cost and let me do my own self install and save the $200. Not only will people save a tonne of money but they will be able to subscribe to voom for those who can only do self installs out there.

    Should Voom allow to sell and activate 2nd hand units?

    thank goodness i found this out before i was going to buy a used box. silly though voom is really acting very silly, they're acting as if they are only leasing you the box and not charging you a fee when you pay the full price, same with my phone company here who has adsl i found the exact same...
