I agree that the better ones need to be added. Some ot them are just plain hokey and give a bad representation of Christianity and are always asking for money.

Please, VOOM, please don't waste precious bandwidth on either religious or shopping channels -- they both just want my money and are infinitly more deadly to brain cells than a point blank shotgun blast to the head.

I was just kidding. I don't want to see either until there are more HD and other mainstream channels.

A lot of providers(sat. or cable)say shopping channels are needed because they pay a share of the money they take in and pay the provider to be on, the provider then says they need that money to keep subs costs down. :rolleyes:

Not to belittle anyone's personal beliefs, but I consider religious channels to be of interest to a different niche of satellite customers than are currently subscribing to Voom.

I would prefer Voom stick to its roots and continue to try to roll out more HD programming. If I understand the posts in this forum, the niche Voom is trying to fill is for the high end video enthusiast who wants more HD.

Dish is dedicated to jamming as many channels as possible onto their limited bandwidth while appealing to every possible demographic. My Dad has Dish and they have plenty of those channels.

If you want religious, get Dish Network. Heck, I think you can get them for free with an unactivated receiver from Dish.

If they do add all of these GOOD channels then Voom better add the ability to select a user / profile like directv, it is a pain in the butt to have to go thru every channel when surfing, there are many channels on all of my providers that i like to skip over. I thought this would have been done by now.
