The future does not look good for this HD provider

DirecTV and Echo Star have been in the business for more than a decade and each has millions of subscribers. In comparison, Voom had about 26,000 customers as of Sept. 30. Since Voom was launched in October 2003, one of every three customers it signed up eventually dropped the service.


Cablevision's Rainbow DBS unit, which operates Voom, posted sales of $5.9 million, and an operating loss of $75.3 million, in the third quarter.

Bummer!  I wanted to try out Voom, as I can't get Dish or DirecTV without hacking down trees.

Did you put 4000 volts through it?
