Hey, look it is advertising bot.

The lineup looks like HD just for the sake of HD. Not very compelling
programming and lacking especially in the SD lineup.

"Compelling" is in the eyes of the beholder isn't it? Keep in mind too that
VOOM advertises itself as an HD service with "some" SD whereas Dish and DirecTV
are SD services with "some" HD. Different approach, different emphasis.

But (IMO) HD just for the sake of HD is not much value. They just as well
carry HSN and QVC in HD. How many noticed they also do not offer HBO? That
alone would be a deal-breaker for me.

Ah, but HBO is just about a done deal and will arive shortly as is Cinemax E&W,
INHD1 & 2, Starz HD E&W, TMC HD, ESPN HD, NFL HD, NBA HD in addition to the
existing TWELVE exclusive HD movie channels and the special interest HD
channels. The 12 exclusive HD movie channels are already offereing some really
neat HD movies not seen on HBO, Showtime etc. YOWSER!! More HD then anybody
else by far, and excellent quality channels to boot. A win win for anybody
really interested in HD!

whats the free offer?
End higher ticket prices! Go to local college games!

problem is that voom is still going to charge an arm and a leg for everything
after the offer

whats the free offer?

VOOM is offering a money back guarantee for systems purchased before 1/1/04.
Those systems can be returned for a full refund by 3/31/04 if you are not
satisfied. Pretty amazing deal in the world of electronics. Also, all
programming is free until the end of February.

I think their price after the free offer is up is very reasonable. For $39.90
you get 21 exclusive HD channels including 12 unique movie channels showing all
HD movies. There's also a news/weather channel in HD, special interest HD
channels and for the price quoted above, you get one free "pack". A "pack" is a
combinations of other HD channels. As an example, the "HD Marquee" pack
includes Discovery HD, Starz E&W HD, INHD1 & 2 and 6 other SD Starz channels.
So all of that woud be $39.90. IMO a damn great deal.

There are 4 other packs including an HBO HD pack, Showtime HD pack, HD Sports
pack and a Cinemax HD pack. Each additional pack beyond the first free one you
choose is $14.90.

Do you work for Voom? If not they should be paying you!

How come you don't mention the $795.00 you have to shell out for the box up
front?

I have HD through Cox cable, 9 channels, no upfront, no extra charge per
month above what I was already paying. They will add more as it becomes
available.
