I'd be happy if Cablevision dropped Voom entirely and replaced all 15 of those channels with the HD feeds for their premium sports packages, and I think most other people would too.]]>May 13th 2008 9:20AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/May 19th 2008 1:31PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/

The new channel launches and all 15 Voom networks were all kicking for 6 hours yesterday. They had the bandwidth before the adds.

The Voom channels make Dish unique, without them Dish is just another provider with fewer hd channels than the competition.

The Dish HD selection is no better than cable now that the VOOM content is gone.

they replaced voom family with abc family"HD". abc family is just a bunch if crappy 80's and 90's sitcoms that no one watched when they were originally on. they are not even in HD. I don't get it. voom family had some good shows on(thunderbirds, flipper) all in HD 24 hours a day. most of the stuff they gave us was crap.

VOOM was an effort to cash-in on HD by producing cheap content in volume instead of quality content.

We need fewer of the type of channels that will just point an HD camera at anything that doesn't have to sign a waiver (typically nature shots).]]>May 13th 2008 2:27PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/May 13th 2008 7:16PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/
As to the other shows being upconverted, well, don't watch them. I'd rather watch the market for high quality content grow than see junk like BASE jumping clog the airwaves.

Remember that HD won't be unusual for long. It'll be about as unusual as color video is today. Any channel that just makes its bones off of resolution alone is dooming the long run. In a few years, there will be no more market for HD air racing than there is for SD air racing today.]]>May 14th 2008 1:06AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/May 13th 2008 3:16PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/May 13th 2008 4:24PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/May 13th 2008 5:17PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/

But my three years old niece misses Aniamania 9474 though. But she now has Cartoon HD.
read this why they dropped some of Voom's channels.

They won't last long if they rely solely on Optimum.

If I can't get Monsters HD anywhere, then i'm not keeping Dish Network.

Who cares if someone has 500 "HD" channels. Very few of them are actually HD anyway.


quality over quantity]]>May 14th 2008 9:55PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/May 15th 2008 12:49AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/13/dish-network-drops-10-of-15-voom-hd-channels/This is a complete and utter DOWNGRADE.... apparently dish decided to cater to the mediocrity and under-educated.

I mean, are there really people who want the weather channel in hd? We already have cartoon network, is there that much a difference in drawings on hd?

The concert channel and equator channel with helicopter journeys around the world are great for babies and toddlers, as well as adults, especially since they're commercial free. Travel channel & MTV just don't cut it.

VOOM Network is far superior and if it lands somewhere else, I'll definitely be switching.

And tell them you want the Voom Network channels back!

Voice your opinion! Also tell them what the hell is up with this BS Programming access for not having your receiver hooked up to your telephone line! It's Ridiculous, you don't need to have a line dedicated to your receiver to order pay per view or anything. You can just go on the site and order what you want.

Programming access fee: $5.00 (bs fee for not having your receiver hooked up to the phone).
