VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

[VinceT3]

Seriously people maybe this will make voom condense their channels the 1-5 it should be rather than the 15+ of very little content which is what it was..

Have news popup every hour or two to give the heads up on a channel that shows content from at least 4+ channels.. condense the damn things so we don't see a repeat every 6-12 hours.. lets up it to say.. once ever 3-7 days for repeats?

I agree. Voom has to re-evaluate what they have to stay afloat now. And who's to say Voom isn't the one behind the removal of these 10 to begin with.

I did a chat with some terrorist, took about 20 mins, and he removed the HD Ultimate from my account, didn't charge me to downgrade, and didn't charge me for the 2 hours I had it.






there is no reason for you to make a redneck comment like this.

See, there is a better chance of that guy being a terrorist being from where he is from, then me being a redneck, being from Jersey.

And please, refrain from displaying your lack of a sense of humor in the thread when you could have done this in a PM.

Take care!!!



Back to the subject, perhaps there is some more moves in the pipes. No one knows for sure. These are all niche channels, I have see that discussed here in great length. Maybe a SPIKE HD or something is in the works. We know with the failed sat that space is limited.

Who knows right now, I think the Team Summit will be more interesting now. This has to be addressed there.

Give me a break........

Nobody cares...

If you leave Dish over the demise of Voom, then that is pretty sad and simple minded.

Well, at least the 3 Voom channels are still on ExpressVu.

Treasure, Equator, UltraHD

I will miss Family Room. I love Flipper and Thunderbirds
I can't believe they pulled off Voom Movies. Finally, a good Voom Movie Channel and its gone.

So are they doing this again? Running 15 channels and we see 5, ExpressVu sees 3 but VOOM actually runs 15?

Deja vu for when VOOM was a satellite provider and Voom went boom then!

So their reason to remove these channels was to make room for the new ones???

So they say.

We here at Sat guys know that is complete B#$% S#&*!!!!!!!

There was room for 10 or 12 hd on 61.5 before they removed these!!!

There must have been room. They put the new up before pulling the 10 Vooms.

But I think most are missing the point as to why they were removed.

Ignore the slate they have up now, and realize that we, on the forum here, are IN THE KNOW.

The new channels co-existed with Voom for a few house, so the space is there.


A few days ago, there was a story here about Dish wanting out of Voom because they didn't spend enough on new content.

This is a contract issue, hence the 12am thing. Most turn on's take place at like 2pm est on a wed.

This was a notice to Voom I would bet. "Do this or we will drop 1/2 the content effective midnight 5/12, do THIS or we will drop Voom entirely at midnight 5/31, or whatever"

This Voom thing isn't over, I would assume.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I understand why it was done, I am just pointing out the fact what Dish is saying that they NEEDED space for the new ones.

And who's to say Voom isn't the one behind the removal of these 10 to begin with.

because they are still in CVC.
