Keep in mind that the complaints come from a dozen or so people on this forum. Some don't even have Voom.

There are also tens of thousands of happy Voomers.

For those who are really considering Voom.......back out of this post and read this forum carefully. IMHO, as far as HD content, implementation, and delivery, Voom is where it is at.

Nightmares? VOOM is more like a "Wet Dream"!

Another great thing about Voom is if you cancel they will still take your money each month.

When doing my research to buy two HDTVs. I went and read hundreds of reviews that stated how bad/wonderful both the DLPs and LCDs were. A lot of these reviews were opiniated or from people with a specific bias in both technologies.

So I decided to go with a local retailer who gave me a 30 days money back guarantee (no questions ask). My first buy was a Sony 60" LCD Grand Wega. I evaluated for 30 days and found that the "big negatives" were not that "big" to me. So I decided to keep it.

After that purchase, I did the same with my DLP. And I read a lot of negative on it as well. I evaluated the DLP and it was a keeper. So from experience, one person or a few bad experiences are not the only determinant in getting a product.

My brother and I also did the same when he decided to buy a DLP projector. The moral of the story ---> try it for yourself and evaluate it yourself. Try to get a deal that will let you do this and whether you want to keep it or send it back will be ultimately your decision.

P.S. I did send back a few HDTVs from the same store after I tried them. A different brand of what I ended with.

Voom has been really good for me for over a month now. No break-ups or lock-ups, no rain fade except when it's really bad outside. They've done exactly what they promised for me.

The movies aren't great, but last night Salaam Bombay was excellent. ESPN-HD and the added OTA channels that I get with the antenna mean that a majority of what I watch is now HD. I need and want Fox Sports Southwest, but that in and of itself is not enough to make me switch.

What would make me switch? If they start jerking me around on the billing, I will leave. That scares the hell out of me. Somebody has to get that under control.

"giveuspurehd" sounds like the guy who just hopped on and said that Voom never shows "pure HD"... coincidence?

You guys don't believe me, DirectTV have sent their agents to this forum.

Read your post. You obviously have an agenda. What is it?
