shall we place bets on whether or not a new channel(s) will be added on june 1?

My guess is at least one.

I just hope if AMC HD is added soon they dont lie about doing HD like TNTHD.

I voted for WealthTV. I think that's the direction Voom's taking.

LOL-Yea, sure seems like it!!

I expected TNT to come online with of bunch of transfers ready. Today they did their westerns, and Josey Wales looked bad. Except for basketball, TNT HD has been underwhelming. Maybe if I had D* or E* it would be better :)

Totally agree!. Ghostbusters looked like 280I(LOL) except for sports it has been a dissapointment.

I will say the old Japenese horror films on Monster have looked great for being what they are.

get INHD please! :eek:

I'll guess 2. Wealth TV and (HD-PPV or AMC-HD).

I'm down for zero. Today is Sunday 5/30, and tomorrow is a holiday. I'm thinking a new channel is not going to appear on the first day after a 3 day weekend.

This is one time that I'd love to be wrong.

If its not inhd then whatever they add is a mistake.
WealthTV? isnt that ULTRA, Gallery, Moove, and Auction?
AMCHD? More B run movies in HD?
DivineHD, thats not an addition thats a change to cinema10

First time poster. Thanks to all who have posted previously. I have learned a lot from your experiences.

I've tried to search and find where inHD was 'promised' as quoted in this thread. Is this true? I have inHD and even their on screen bug says 'only cable'. Hard to think they'll offer it on a cable owned sat service.

Vurbano: What is it that you think inHD offers that makes it more valuable than some of the other offerings. I find that like cinema 10 inHD and inHD2 also shows older movies that I might not otherwise watch. They do have some sports like MLB and a variety of boxing like sports.

FWIW: I have HD cable in San Diego so I'm lucky enough to be able to see our team in HD 104 times this year so the MLB draw for me is minimal.

6. HD documentaries of sporting events etc.

Dont forget 17. Twilight Zone

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee give us INHD!!!!!

Divine looks like everything we are going to get for now. I'd be really shocked if we had INHD 1 and 2 by tomorrow.

Why is it that we think Voom is going to add anything on June 1st? :confused:

how do we know there adding anything :confused:

"39 channels in HD" (06/01/04)-Voom advert.

something is going on, my channels are all messed up. TNT-HD is on Cinema 3, along with other channels being in the wrong place. Multiple resets have not corrected it. Methinks something new this way comes.

Don't forget-"Divine" arrives tomorrow-can't wait?????

Divine is just a name change to Cinema 10. Not much going there except to change the name in the PG data.

"39 channels in HD" (06/01/04)-Voom advert.

Oh I see... On their website, it says "VOOM offers up to 39 premium high definition channels (as of 6/1/04)". You can look at this a couple ways...

- "Up to" means that the 37 HD channels they have now are indeed "up to 39". So they don't have to add anything by tomorrow (6/1).

- But putting a 6/1/04 date in there may have some kind of significance. Like a contract that starts on that date or something.

So we sit here in the same spot we have been for weeks speculating what *may* be added next. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the feedback. I do agree that inHD would be a nice addition. I've never seen HDnet or HDnet Movies so I'd be happiest if they added those. :-)

I too have been watching inHD and inHD2 fairly frequently. I've been a subscriber to their email list for quite some time now.

1. INhd offers top quality 1080i on the level of HDnet
Agreed. My set down-rezs 720p to 480p. I need to force 1080i in STB for best pic.

2. Inhd has stunning 1080i Hockey like HDnet
Most of the hockey I saw was re-runs of a few college games. I thought the NHL has a deal with HDnet effectively closing out inHD?

3. Some HD MLB games.
Yep! Love it!

4. It is the HDnet equivalent on cable.
HDnet deserves kudos for their original content.

5. The 2004 lingerie bowl in HD !
:-) Missed it. Had to work. grrr.

6. HD documentaries of sporting events etc.
7. HD boxing
8. HD kick boxing
11. Some HD college basketball
12. HD MLS soccer
13.HD USA rugby
16. HD ultimate fighting
Rarely live and often repeats of events held quite a while ago. Since I know little of some of these sports I do enjoy seeing and learning more about them.

9. HD trips to exotic places. Shows similar to DIscoveryHD but not duplication.
IMAX stuff is nice. I've been waiting for them to re-release their stuff on DVD in widescreen anamorphic. Best eye candy is the 'Over' series like 'Over America', 'Over British Columbia' etc. Really nice stuff there. But some of that has already been shown on our local PBS station.

10. HD movie prevews
Yes and now PPV HD previews too.


14. HD movies
15. HD concerts
My favorite categories. Frequent repeats. Getting better though. Cinema 10 shows a wider variety of flicks. I've enjoyed several older films recently on Cinema 10. Many of the concerts on Rave are reruns of the PBS series SoundStage.

If they were to add 2 new channels would we have to get a software update before we start to see them?

Don't forget-"Divine" arrives tomorrow-can't wait?????
HMMM should I? Nah ill let it slide. but stop lobbing up homerun balls -LMAO

Nope not required. But we are due an update

OK lets think about this. VOom owes us 2 HD channels by 6/1/04.

inorder for that to happen the channel has to be launched on or before 6/1/04. Divine is going to be on cinema10, that is clearly not a new channel that will increase the total.

SO what HD channels are out there that are live now or launching on 6/1/04?

HMMM should I? Nah ill let it slide. but stop lobbing up homerun balls -LMAO
KISS KISS LOVER-LMAO

The way I've always read the "up to" clause was that if you subscribed to all the HD channels you would have the max 39 (up to a total of 39). Otherwise, if you are not VaVaVooming and only picking a plus pack here and there you would obviously have less than 39. The more I think about it the more likely i think something big may be brewing for tomorrow, especially with that "6/1" date.
