1. Voom is promoted as a specialized service geared for HD content. If the volume of SD your bag, Voom may not be the choice. HD is Voom's asset/niche.

If Voom suddenly had 5 million subscribers by middle of next year, what would happen? I forsee numerous networks scrambling to have a HD channel. Even if Voom doesn't have all the bugs fixed, I'm rallying behind them NOW, because if THEY fail, there's no telling how bad it could get for those of us actively seeking HDTV. Companies might view it as an even bigger "luxury" item than they had anticipated and charge more for carrying HD content than they already do.
