These channels are not new except for FU. They just remamed the 10 they already have.
 
Some pretty good movies listed there! Thanks for posting, FreddyvsJasonvsAsh!
 
I changed the title of the thread. What are the meaning of the * on the Guy Tv HD channel and Vice HD channel?
 
I don't know how those stars got on there because they weren't on the VOOM CD. I went to VOOMs site and ordered the CD (CD-Rom). It has the newsletter board on it and it gives you updates each month
 
Oh, oh. Does this mean MONSTERS is history?
That's one of the main reasons I decided to give Voom a shot.
Losing MONSTERS may cost them more fans than they think.
I hope it's not true!

Monsters will still be on. Monsters, although a movie channel, is not considered part of the 10 HD Cinema channels. It is its own channel.
 
That's great that we will be getting Film Fest AND the World Cinema channels. Awhile back it seemed they were condensing them into one channel. This is really great that they will be separate! Go VOOM!

I agree! I too had some concerns about them doing the Arthouse channel in place of the WorldCinema. Glad they are going to have both!
 
I guess the Documentary channel is gone! Hope that in the future as documentaries are shot in HD, it will re-surface somehow.
 
Were there logos and stuff? Any chance you could take a screen shot of the image?
 
I think this is happening January 1st. I took a look at zap2it.com and on January 1st they have channel 104 with kungfu movies and the next day and the next day. Only hope is for the PG to right this time!
 
I hope theyre around long enough for me to enjoy some of these flicks.... ces should be very interesting, looking forward to finding their booth there and see what they have for us. Ill know within about 5 seconds of looking at their booth which way they are going to go.
