VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

[Mojo]

Ain't that the truth

I would watch paint drying if it were shown in HD

Well you are going to be very happy when E* finally adds PDN-HD (the Paint Drying Network HD) to the premium lineup right next to the Fishing Network HDl! I just wished they'd show more of the paint drying in true HD and not in SD (although rumor has it they are recording a lot of paint drying in HD now and will begin showing it later when new fall season begins).

for the record, MHD is one huge repeat.. i haven't checked, but im betting that the Radiohead concert will be on at some point tonight, just like the last ten times i've checked that station. Good show.. but none the less.

A lot of channels that have all HD content Repeat, Voom had repeats but it still was all HD.

Thats my point... the big gripe w/Voom was the repeats, but the others are no better.

Except Chiller.

The repeats just got real bad the past 6 months before they fixed the schedules. Before that the schedules were fine there were repeats but it was still not bad. I just hope we will find out something soon.

Voom's website (
VOOM HD Networks

) is now stating that it was dish networks decision to pull the channels and to contact dish with complaints.

Apparently dish cares nothing about their customer base in doing something
like this. Trading this programming for what, HD locals?

[long_time_DNC]

Duh. Well of course it was Dish's sole decision. But that doesn't mean Voom was innocent in this situation. It's rather obvious they weren't spending much money on new programming since they were repeating so heavily.

That being said, I would still like at least 5 of the Voom channels back that I enjoyed. I doubt we'll ever see all 15 channels return...

correct. the last few months it got a lot worse indicating that they weren't spending the amount of money that was agreed on. before that i thought voom was good. but with voom now suing E for money i think that's it for voomhd

[long_time_DNC]

Nope...definitely not the way to make friends and influence enemies.

Voom should just agree that they screwed up and agree to fix it. That would likely get them back on the sat and actually making money and doing something as opposed to their current situation.
