Voom No More

I'm with you! I'm not sure that any of the people that are complaining about VOOM quality even has it. I had a first gen 73" mits until that went dead and I replaced it with a newer version, it will be beyond tough to not have VOOM to see. When I left Direct the only stuff I didn't have, that we watched, was HGTV and BBCA and SciFi(which has way to many commercials for my taste). Anyway all this has been on VOOM for a while and I was very pleased about how aggresive they were about getting more channels and trying to increase content.
Well I worked in retail as well when VOOM came out, as a matter of fact I live in Vegas and saw it at CES the first time, and I was one of the first group to get this system. Yes early on the Moto box had problems and would drop signal or freeze and you'd have to reboot, or the fact that at first my TIVO couldn't control it but I didn't care it beat the other 3 choices to hades and back! My husband and I happened to like most of their shows, hell even the fashion channel was good for a laugh if you turned the volume down:)
I had Direct for a lot of years and got HD from them at the very first. I ran Direct and Voom at the same time for about 4 months after the engineers for Direct gave me a song and dance about quality over quantity in their competion with Voom, well guess what after those 4 months when my TIVO worked with VOOM I dumped Direct, as did most of the sales staff where I worked. I have a 73" Mits and it shows every little thing and there was no difference with Direct and my bill with VOOM was MUCH less with more channels!
I loved this system so much I would recommend that customers check into it even though we didn't sell it, and did sell Direct and Dish!
Oh well, I know in our house that it will be missed.

TIVO became available for VOOM just around a year ago that's when I showed Direct the door
