If you had signed up for HDTV from Voom, you probably already know that your service is dying... DTV is offering Voom subscribers $200 rebate towards HD equipment from them.

It's kinda funny because about a few weeks before I heard about Voom shutting down, I had seen a TV advertisement for it. That was the first time I heard about them, and apparently the last time.

Not to bring a thread back from the dead... but with 400+ views some might be interested. In the thread above, you can get the DTV HD DVR setup for $650 to $700.. With this rebate, you can get another $200 off, if you were a Voom subscriber.

Interesting that DirecTV is trying to lure away Voom customers. DISH TV had bought Voom and their subscribers probably don't have to do anything to start getting Dish's programming.

If you look at Voom.com, it appears that Voom subscribers will get Dish equipment in the move...
