A couple of items. The LG display at CES was interesting on one level, I’m thinking every single display tv was in 3D with glasses not needing to be tied to the tv. I turned mine in after viewing the huge entry display and the crowds were so bad I couldn’t get another pair till I reached the other side of the booth. I wasn’t going to fight the crowds to reverse course.
Voom sorta is still available, as dish bought the uplink facility and the channels. Don’t know exactly how many made the transition, but I think the whole package did. Just access by VOOM box became access by Dish receiver. I could start a museum with all the old big dish and ancient little dish receivers in my basement
Trivia: The VOOM uplink facility was outside Rapid City, and is still operational but unmanned. An additional uplink antenna has recently been added to the two already there.
I found the VOOM lineup.

BTW: I signed up with VOOM knowing that they “may” go dark. Well they did, one month after installation. DISH did pick up a few VOOM stations but that didn’t last long. (We eventually went back to DISH.)
