100+ National HD Channels?

I was asking him what he thought was reasonable for VOOM, since his post implied that losing VOOM constituted a large loss from his $120+/month.

Where do you get this "large loss" from? It didn't imply that at all.

He said he spends $120 a month and got screwed. In the Voom situation, the people spending the most got screwed the most. Why can't 98% of you see that point?

The HD Only customers spend the least. They have the same # of channels that they had before, they are just different. And if they didn't care for Voom, they are probably happy about the change. If they loved Voom, they might be unhappy, but they are still getting the same # of channels for the money.

The HD Essential customers spend a little more. They have the same channels, but more of them are in HD. Win/Win for them.

The HD Ultimate customers spend the most, but they have 12 fewer channels than they did before. Yes, I appreciate having more channels in HD, but they are channels I already had.

I wouldn't pay more than a premium and I said as much.

Nobody said anything about "paying more than a premium" except you. I would pay $5. In fact, I'm STILL paying $5, I'm just not getting anything for it. :D

Because it's his privilege to do so, at least on this site. The same as you.

And it's his privilege to criticize it and question it's value.

I could post photos of Tony Danza in every thread, but it would still be worthless.
 
But if they did that, they wouldn't be able to charge a $7 "HD Enabling Fee". :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure that's why they raised the enabling fee from $6.00 to $7.00 when they started the new HD packs. It's really easy to justify getting HD Essentials for just $3.00 more a month than the enabling fee (at least that's how I justify it :D ).

Now if they just rolled HD Essentials in to the price of each SD pack, say raising the price about $2 for AT100, $1 for AT200, and another $1 for AT250 that should just about cover it. The cost would be spread out among ALL subs and would encourage everyone to upgrade so they could see what they were missing in HD. Dish could also claim to have the most "free" HD channels, since in reality everyone would be paying for it through slightly higher prices. Sure it's a gimmick, but it has worked before.
 
Why do you continue to post your worthless posts in VOOM threads?

This thread was about 100+ National HD Channels, NOT a specific Voom thread (I know it can get confusing though with all the highjacking voom posts), and even if this was a "VOOM" thread, I still have the right to ask the question of why he is posting the same exact, word for word post in mulitiple threads. But thanks for playing there sparky! :rolleyes:

I was one of those Ultimate subscribers and after V* (name ommitted to protect the innocent) were dropped, I dropped Ultimate. I agree that the Ultimate's got screwed the most and that's why bye-bye Ultimate for me: saves my $10 a month and I don't feel so cheated...
 
Charlie can get 100 + channels with these new additions:

WFN HD2
WFNews HD
WFN ocho HD
WFN Alternate HD
WFN International HD
WFN pescando HD

maybe this way he will get to 100 HD +? Why not more fishing channels and while they at it add:

Bingo HD
Bingo HD2
BingoNews HD
Bingo Alternate HD
Bingo bingo HD

lol, Sean, That made my morning!
 
I am not blaming Dish on this as it is a broadcaster issue, but what good is a HD station when they play the movie "Hoosier' with sidebars (not widescreen) as they did last night on 'VS'. Not sure what they transmitted audio-wise. As some have indicated, just being listed as a HD station does not always 'truly' count (at least in my opinion).

Or, you know, they could add any of the 50 or so HD channels (which, admittedly, have varying amounts of actual HD at this point) that are available or will be soon.

But then we wouldn't get to enjoy yet another "Ocho" joke. :sleeo
