www.voom.com Going to turn off my DirecTV for 6 months (They'll put your account to "sleep" for that long without charging every month). Decided that I wanted to check out what my HD Ready TV is capable of. Best part is that the box serves as the HD tuner so I don't need to get a set top box to turn my HD Ready TV into a HD TV. I'll post my impressions of the service when I see it. Installation is on the 15th. --------------------

Good luck :d1 thing you should know though, most Sattelite TV providers have already gone to HDTV. It may be that DirecTV offers it, and all you need is an upgraded reciever. It might be worth checking into if VOOM isn't satisfactory. -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

"I'll post my impressions of the service when I see it."Damn, so is there that much of a wait to get the service started or are you just not impressed with it?  I heard voom loops a lot of content right now and it's kinda pricey to watch loops imo. I've been using time warner's hd to watch ABC, Fox, CBS, NBC, PBS, discovery theater and HBO. Thinking about getting a hdtv card for the htpc, just waiting to see how that new ati hdtv card is gonna perform.
