I'm going to have to agree with Christopher on this one. I use to be a Directv HD customer back in 2001 or so when I had to pay about $300 for a Samsung HD box w/o DVR. I got rid of it because I got tired of not finding enough quality HD programming other than HDNet. Since then I have moved to Dish with their i622 receiver that I didn't have to pay a penny for. The Voom programming is excellent. I'm constantly finding amazing programming on Rave HD, Gallery HD, and Monsters HD just to name a few.
Yes, it was first released over 6 months ago (4th quarter '06), and was positively reviewed in the winter issue (December) of DIGITAL VIDEO AND SOUND magazine, produced by the same company who publishes HOME ENTERTAINMENT magazine.
Don't know of the price if not subscribing, but you should be able to get it at no charge with a new programming commitment agreement for DishTV.
