I'm thinking about switching to Voom...it looks like a nice service with some good packages available.
Anyone use it and have comments about it?

the new sats are Ka instead of Ku band


That explains it all - I still think a slower roll out of mpeg4 channels on the current sats would be less risky - but mpeg2 only customers would see that as a loss of service. Do they plan to stack the KA's behind the 101.0 ku's? Or do we have to go back to the eliptical dishes?

If they change their entire system from end to end just to carry the locals in HD (something that is easy to get from rabbit ears), can the rebroadcasters still say that the locals are not important? I know this is a touchy subject.

I love my Directv / Tivo service and I have converted a bunch of others. . . Cut your cable!!!
