What specific changes does VOOM need to make to get your business?
Please try to be reasonable. Capacity limitations prevent VOOM from adding locals or dozens of additional SD channels; legal contraints prevent them from adding national HD feeds; and carriage agreements prevent them from offering some channels separately.

In my case:
- I require SciFi, plus the major news channels - CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News. (I notice they are up to 34 cable favorites as of 10/16)
- I require ESPN-HD, InHD/InHD2, Hdnet/Hdnet Movies, and when available, Starz HD and Cinemax HD.
- I require a HDTV STB rental, HDTV PVR, or an announced STB->PVR trade-in program. I refuse to spend another $700+ on a box without any means to timeshift HDTV, or any direct upgrade path that will make that possible. The upgrade path need not be free, a reasonable credit (i.e. $500) toward the PVR will suffice. If there is no Firewire, PVR, or upgrade path, I need a STB rental until such time when those options are available.
- I require a stable HD STB / PVR. Crashes every few minutes--as seen at Sears--are not acceptable.
- I require SD quality as good as I get on Comcast Cable (at least, for CNN, MSNBC, FoxNews, SciFi, and the History Channel), which means slightly better quality than currently on Dish/DirecTV.
