$9.50 / mo lease deal for each receiver (no contract)
$39.90 / mo for basic channels (guaranteed until December 2004)
basic package includes 24 HD channels
$0.00 for activiation and standard installation
$14.50 / mo for each package (hbo, cinemax, showtime, encore, starz)
installation includes free DVI or component cable

ordered today, installation in 1 week

sounds like a good deal so far, i get the same channels i watch on dish (except for ESPN for now) at the same price including 24 HD channels.
 
I too ordered the VOOM basic package. Since I already get ESPN-HD and Discovery HD from DISH Network, this is the only package I really needed. I'll be dropping my Starz from DISH and adding Starz on VOOM so I can have Starz in HD.

One question, however. Does VOOM's basic package include locals OTA?

The VOOM package (basic) is {{39.90 right now}} it is
going to be $49.90 after 3-31
The Va Va Voom package (everything) is $79.90 w/no
current plans to raise.
 
The Voom rep said Discovery HD, NFL HD and Inside Voom (Voom promotional channel) are all part of the Basic ($39.90 package). The OTA channels are free I believe with the OTA antennae on the dish (good for me, I live within a few miles of all major networks).
 
I would love to drop Dish and go with Voom. However, Voom is still missing a few things.

1) No DVR available yet. Anyone have a date?

2) Girlfriend requires Bravo and BBC America. Anyone have a date on these channels?

3) Is there still a possibility of Dish selling Voom's services?

Thanks.
 

CVc's pr release--possible whats coming??

After all the Additions how is the PQ of the HD channels?
