That is a great idea. I just signed up with Voom. Since there is no 1 year contract if it is not better than Dish I am just going to send it back.

I thought it was a good idea. You may want to move any of the premium channels you have from DISH over to VOOM (Cancel the package from your DISH account and sign up with VOOM for that premium channel) that way you get HD versions, and multiple HD channels for them at that.
I have AT120/HD/Starz from DISH. I am keeping AT120 since I have two SD TV's in the house (and I like the music channels) and the HD pack (two year agreement) from DISH. I am deleting my Starz sub from DISH and adding the Starz pack from VOOM (once I am installed and running with VOOM).
The beauty of this over the course of the year is that my family has TV/Digital music throughout the house (AT120), we have DISH's HD lineup and VOOM's HD lineup + Starz in HD.
Not too bad for $100 a month. I could be paying Comcast that much for a whole lot less.
Comcast: 77.98 + 5.10 = over $83 and we havent even looked at their taxes, fees and other charges I am unaware of.
Dish = 34.99 + $10 (HD) + $10 (Other receivers) = 54.99
VOOM = 39.95 + $10 (rental) = 49.95
A lot more for a few extra bucks. I do wish the extra receiver fee's would go away on DISH though.
