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. | So we have a net gain of 12 HD after the loss of Voom. This will make an interesting news release

This shows you how much the left hand knows what the right hand is doing at Dish Network. They already updated the website and the channels have not even been removed.  |

If they do get rid of some/most/all of the VOOM channels, they need to reduce the price of HD Ultimate by $5 or so.

I hope they don't downgrade. I downgraded to the HD Only package and have already watched 2 films on the Voom HD Movies channel... that'd be very disappointing.

The Voom HD Movies was just renamed last week, I wonder if this one is a goner too.
