I've had Voom (and been had by them) for about seven months and have enjoy most of the programming... but not all. My installation was somewhat of a problem, with three service calls, plus one more to replace the receiver. The dish had to be mounted on my neighbor's chimney, in order to shoot through some trees. The bird is very low on the eastern horizon, because of it's East Coast position. My signal strength, however, was at 95+.
Voon had announced a soon to be available PVR some months ago, but time ran out. I also have DirecTV, with an HD recorder/receiver. Hopefully some of Voom's stuff will migrate soon.
As a foolish early subscriber to Voom, I purchased the receiver outright, in good faith. Now I'm stuck with about $500 worth of Motorola junk. Anyone want to buy it as a souvenir?
