If you are NEW to HDTV then VOOM will knock your socks off. However, as a person who has already been "seasoned" with HD, VOOM is just a way to have a variety of HD "looking" material to watch.
Some of these so-called "exclusive" channels... lets BE REAL... MOST people are not going to be intersted. The average person wants Hollywood Bolockbusters and mainstream programming. Not Auctions in High Def....
Ideally, VOOM is an extroadinary addition to the HDTV revolution. But in order to appease the majority of people and possibly take some subscribers from the Competition, they are gonna have to secure some MAINSTREAM programming.
Thats just my opinion..... I have been known to be wrong a time or 2.... thousand lol....
