Anybody using Voom yet? I have a 61" Toshiba Cinema Series HD but don't have it hooked up to any HDTV service. Currently using DirectTV, with their basic Tivo. To get HDTV Tivo is ~$1000 for the Tivo alone, plus HDTV service from DirectTV (new 3-way satellite dish, etc), so that's not worth it to me. But I'd like to get HDTV. We mostly watch sports and some family movies. Questions:

-I assume I can use DirecTV and Voom side by side, I have 2 HDTV inputs (one is used by my DVD player currently). Anybody doing this?
-I note a lot of programs listed in their program guide (at their website) do not specifically say HDTV, some do. I'd guess a lot of them are not in HDTV format, is that accurate?
-I'm interested in their "0-down" offer currently going on, any surprises?
-I'd like to know your level of satisfaction with their service

Last, I may be moving in a few months, so anybody move with Voom yet?

Thanks in advance for any useful replies!

As a suggestion, you can try visiting the AVS Forum site, http://www.avsforum.com/. I've seen quite a few discussions there about the VOOM service. It does look interesting, but right now I'm sticking with my OTA receiver so I can get the local stations in HD.

Thx, I'd not found that site yet.

Not until HDTVs get lots more cheap. My price point for a 42-inch plasma would be around $500.

Plus, crap is crap, even in high definition.
