[VOOM] Re: VOOM is DOOMED !!
-I just called Voom to find out if my installation was still on for
Next Tuesday the 8th. I was told yes and that Echostar has made a
committment to keep Voom up and running in current format. It seems
to be a committment made to the Dolan family but not engraved in
stone yet. So I am going ahead with the install. Woohoo!
