Which VOOM HD channels would you like your new DBS/cable provider to pick up?
Select as many as you want, but please be reasonable. Select those that you do care about.
And don't forget about your family members too! ;)

My choices were HDNews and Monsters. It is kind of hard to pick the Cinema 10 channels since they get about equal viewing here and the movies typically move from channel to channel. So if there was a couple movies I liked on Film Fest, a few weeks later they would be on another such as GuyTV or Majestic. Just one movie channel with all the Cinema 10 is all I would sak for :) I also chose Equator because someone else in the home watches it a lot :)

The six Leaders are exactly the ones I voted for an indicate what Voom should have done in the first place to increase quality an add other channels
HDNEWS.
RAVE
RUSH
WORLDSPORT
EQUATOR
MONSTER

They all are 46-68%. Everything else is less. How about that Divine channel huh? Its really taking off with 9 votes:rolleyes:

The rest deserved to share about 5-6 channels of bandwidth. And even Worldsport and Rush could have been combined. Too bad Dolan didnt have a clue as to how to package or run this endeavor. Oh but I was wrong sorry, then Voom wouldnt have 21 exclusive channels :rolleyes: . Seems to me we have no channels after 4/30/05 :(

It will be interesting to see how Equator looks when Dish starts broadcasting it, then we will know if it was a source or compression issue. All the channels should look equal on Dish.

They better look the same, or we will miss all those new Mosquito Noise posts by DarrellP! :D

Sorry couldn't resist! Every time you mention PQ on VOOM, I laugh about that post from last year where you promised that that would be your last thread about VOOM PQ! :D
I am just teasing you! :)
By the way, on Adelphia I see much less Mosquito Noise, but much-much more pixelation. I guess there are many different ways to screw the PQ! :D

I know you're teasing. BTW, I said I wouldn't post anymore PQ complaints until after the new encoders went active, so the last few months have been fair game. ;)
