No I think you missed the point, HDNews to me, is very adequate and much nicer to look at than CNN. CNN may how more content, and more news feeds, and update more... etc... but I don't spend that much time on the news. I usually catch most of it online, but I do check out HDnews from time to time especially for some nice sports clips in HD. My main point is.. that it is NOT a waste.
The way you and others go about getting Voom to fix their problems seem childish yes. "Oh I'm quitting Voom!!!!" threads then you don't quit. Or Remove all the Cinema 10 channels and don't offer an alternative. If Voom axes HDNEWS, Cinema 10, and Moov than what HD Content are they offering? Do you not understand that HD content is limited as it is? How about this, why doesn't Voom keep as many HD channels as they can and add/change them as time goes on? Huh? How's that novel idea. What I remember seeing is a poll done on what Voom Exclusives you watch the most, and every single Voom channel was voted on more than once (even Moov amazing!). Some people like it!
The only time it becomes a factor.. TO ME.. is if for example we couldn't get ESPN2-HD because Voom is overloaded with HD Channels. Then I'd say yeah, hey let's nix Moov and get ESPN 2 in HD!! Right now, axing channels and put what? Yes Voom still needs to get subscribers, yes they use the "Most HD Anywhere" angle as the way to do it, so? Why does it bother you? If it bothers you THAT much come through with your threats and quit Voom, and see where that gets you.
I'm just stating I totally disagree with you. I do not think the way to say you want MORE HD and better HD is to start giving your hard earned dollars to companies that take their sweet ol' time delivering HD and HD channels.
Voom with 35,000 subscribers pools it's own dollars to produce 21 Exclusive Channels. Every old movie, world sport event have royalty costs involved, and they do it to offer more channels.
I'm sure that DirectTV with 12 Million subscribers ranking in an average of $720 million dollars monthly. Could produce 6 or 7 really kick ass HD Exclusive Channels like Voom. To push the HD envelope, but do they? No. Because they don't give a lick about you, or your new HDTV. They don't care about new technology or what you want, or what you like. If they can make 720 million dollars with the least amount of the work the happier they are.
Let Voom steal away even 1 million customers from them. You're going to see DirectTV riding a motorized Segway scooter and a giant "We Love HDTV" neon sign blinking on their rear end.
