Wow-- so it is bye bye VOOM--or some of them anyway

[jmjunkin]

Didn't see anyone mention that they noticed this...

The Ultimate package lists 5 Voom channels:
- Kung Fu
- Rave
- Monsters
- Rush
- Equator

The HD-only "DishHD" package lists 6 Voom channels:
- Rave
- Rush
- Monsters
- Equator
- Family Room
- GamePlay

You are right under DISHHD only package it lists Gameplay and Family Room.

I guess we know what GHR was talking about now.
The comments at Multicahnnel

I asked the PR department earlier today to verify or deny that rumor, they have not got back to me as of this time. (Email was sent to them in the early afternoon)

However I did speak to other contacts who did not know about anything leaving Dish anytime soon. So with this new wrinkle I dont know what to think.

I have just emailed the PR department again for a second time seeking clarification.

FINALLY!!!!!!!

I will miss HDN on 9482. They had lots of HD sports feeds that even ESPN doesn't get!

This is probably why they launched so many HD channels today. Otherwise, we'll still be going through each Wednesday waiting for the HD crumbs.

Atleast MonstersHD is still there. I am happy all the ones up there are the ones I watched hopefully they will be able to add more content.
