In regards to more HD...Scott, what is the "back story" on the once touted roll-out of some of the other Voom channels? Has Rainbow given up or E* just dropped the idea? Curious.

What is left? The VOOM website discusses 15 channels and it looks like they are all on my guide. What am i missing?
Sorry Navychop answered it before I could ask it. Now that is service!
I will welcome A&EHD, just keep bringing them on. While you are at it Charlie get me some guide info on my local channels.
I agree and understand. It's just, people get soooo worked up over one new HD channel. You can be sure there'll be numerous posts from people announcing "A&E HD is on the air!!" tomorrow....TNT HD was like that in the begginging and so was ESPN HD... and they have both improved over time. Far from perfect but much improved.
MrUss,
Isn't it nice to see DirecTV (the self proclaimed leader in HD) has yet to add StarzHD, FoodHD, HGTVHD, A&EHD, or the 15 Voom Channels.

So now it appears we'll have The CSI Channel (A&EHD) to go along with The Law and Order Channel (TNTHD).
I agree, this is exactly what it will be! Dish finally threw us a bone just to say they did, but this channel will be way watered down and probally not worth watching in stretch-ovision HD! Maybe in time it will, but 1280x1920 will not get it and I bet the birate will be around 10 to 12, what a joke!
That is 100% incorrect.
They are doing a tiered system for HD channels.
The only way people will see National Geographic HD is if they also receive the SD version of the National Geographic Channel in their programming package.
From now on all channels added will be done on a teir basis, so if you get the SD version in your package you will also get the HD version.
I understand that in the future Dish may rename the HD Package and call it a "HD Technology Fee".

No we are still hearing the buzz that we could see up to 3 new SD channels soon.
Lets hope its true.
(BTW those channels are Current TV, Hallmark Movie Channel and some A&E Crime channel which will permantely replace CourtTV.)
