I said when Cablevision announced they were moving Voom channels to SDV, and as a Tivo HD owner on Cablevision that should affect me, that nobody watches the Voom channels anyway. They're HD filler.
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.
The one thing that Voom supplied to SOME viewers was probably what SOME viewers couldn't understand because of their narrow world perspectives. Arrogance, complacency and narrow-mindedness has become an epidemic in our culture. It is much akin to ignorance. Yes, there are some of us out here who will deeply miss some of the CULTURE that the Voom programming provided, in exchange for the "Big Mac" mentality that has replaced it. But I am sure all of this is a bit over the heads of vieweres who the sentiment of Cablevision dropping Voom all together.
