    INHD vs INHD2

    I just looked at cox in my neighborhood and only INHD2 says only for cable. I also received my weekly programming guide for INHD1 & INHD2 (a leftover from my cable days). All of the good programming, concerts and IMAX shows were on INHD2 not INHD1. INHD1 had two movies that were interesting...

    Guy TV

    Does anyone know where VOOM will air the programs that were on the Guy TV Channel. I thought they might put them on FilmFest, but that does not seem to be the case. FamilyHD maybe? I could not imagine they would not want to show movies already converted for Vice, Gunslingers etc...

    942 file converter

    Does anyone know how to convert the 942 files to MPEG4 or DIVX to reduce the size. I can't find any converts that handle *.dp files. I would also like to convert them so I can play them on my IPOD if I need more space.

    Voom Originals in Best Buy

    I was in Besgt Buy yesterday and they had a Voom Originals promo loop running on all the HD Tv's. They showed all Voom 21 channels in the circle and then clips from Rush HD, Worldsport and several other channels. They did not advertise the fact that there is very little new content though...

    Rainbow Pulls Cablevision Down in 2Q

    Cablevision Systems Corp. reported strong second-quarter results in its cable operations -- basic customers rose by nearly 21,000 and voice customers increased by 114,000 -- but weaker-than-expected results at its Rainbow Media Holdings LLC programming networks drove down overall results for the...

    Archos 7000 Portable Media Player

    Now that the new Archos is available, has there been any news when the Dish version will be ready so we can attach it to the USB port? Right now, the Archos can be used as a TIvo to change channels and record directly from the receiver. But it sure would be nice to transfer an entire movie in...

    ViceHD on GuyHD

    I really liked ViceHD. It was good to see a ViceHD movie Suspend on GuyTV last night. Wish they would add the channel already. I am really having FuHD withdrawals as well..... :yes :D

    New Content for FU, Vice, Family Filmest?

    Does anyone know if new content is being produced for all the VOOM 21 channels even though Dish is carrying only 10 of them at this point. Is Dolan actively seeking companies to sell the programming to. If so, it would make sense to keep production going.

    How come only 10 Voom Channels?

    How come Dish only chose 10 channels. And why those 10 channels, they would have been VERY wise to have chosen Worldsport. That was exclusive to Rainbow. I left Dish to Voom because they were slow to add HD channels. Now I am back. I hope they add the others quickly before Direct does and...

    Why Only 10 Channels?

    I read somewhere that E* is providing United Cable Systems (I think that is the name) with 14 channels. So why is E* only providing 10 channels. It sure would be nice to have the rest of the movie channels. Anyone no the real reason why Charlie didn't opt for Gunslingers, Kung Fu, Film Fest and...

    Akimbo service would be good for VOOM

    If VOOM 21 were on Akimbo, I would buy the receiver and service in a minute. Akimbo is a niche programming service and would do well to have VOOM 21.

    Cable TV HD Competition

    I talked with a COX Cable CSR yesterday. He said with VOOM gone, there is less incentive for them to add HD programming to their lineup. That's the sad part, lack of competition is not in the best interests of the consumer. Maybe the government could have bailed them out like Chrysler for...

    New Channels Needed

    Would the FCC see VOOM a more viable 3rd sat provider if they offered more channels than they do now. In doing so, could it block the sale of R-1 if they feel VOOM is a better alternative with MORE programing. Just a thought and if so VOOM should add the following ASAP. 1) RSN's ( HD or SD)...

    Cablevision Plays Hardball - Not Really VOOM

    Cablevision Systems Corp.’s $600-million unsolicited bid to buy a key land parcel on Manhattan’s West Side — potentially thwarting a plan for the New York Jets to build a domed football stadium on the site — is reminiscent of at least one aggressive move the company has made in the cable...
