    DISH Network Charges Forward With Another Round of National HD Channel Launches

    Hello... I can watch most of these channels in standard def. All you are paying for is maybe one third of real, native HD programming on SOME of the channels. Everything else badly upconverted, it looks better in SD. I'm not bitter, I just don't understand paying more for maybe 30% of real HD...

    DISH Network Charges Forward With Another Round of National HD Channel Launches

    Actually, if I'm going to PAY extra for HD, I'd like it to be HD. If more than half of the programming is not native HD than don't charge me anything extra for it. I know when you are all drinking the Kool Aid it's hard to come to terms with reality. Enjoy those grainy "HD" movies, and all of...

    DISH Network Charges Forward With Another Round of National HD Channel Launches

    Uhm, Yes really. If you buy this HD pitch, I guess you'll be buying that swamp land too. Not sure where you are coming from.

    DISH Network Charges Forward With Another Round of National HD Channel Launches

    I thought Sat Guys were savvy tech people? You guys are getting all wet about all of these HD channels. Do you really think all of these channels are HD? Or just feeding SD to a big screen and calling it HD? How can all of these channels have already amassed HD libraries? Biography HD? ABC...

    Dish HD Commercials

    There is no way VH1, MTV and CMT will be able to deliver real HD channels. If you are okay with a network or provider (Direct TV) telling you a channel is HD when it's mostly upcoverted, bad looking SD programs, good for you. I call it misleading at best and lying at worst. What do you think...

    About the Voom Channels, Seriously

    Not a valid question The question does not warrant a yes or no answer. Whatever the question is trying to prove can not be proven. Is SD supposed to validate the programming? It doesn't. HD is a new medium and some things are much better in HD than they are in SD. So if you answer "No" it...

    October 2007 VOOM HD NETWORK HIGHLIGHTS

    There were three brand new epsiosdes of Beatuiful Noise in October, the Ponys 10/5, Apples in Stereo 10/12 and still be seen, Voxtrot on 10/19. Sean, how did you miss these lstings? I'm sure these will be running through the rest of the year. It seems that Rave premiers all its new stuff on...

    Glad to finally see MHD

    MHD is a commercial channel, they live and die by the ratings. It won't be very long until they go the way of every other MTV Network and abandon music totally for those crazy freak shows. Can't wait to see Flava Flav in HD. Not!

    RaveHD vs MHD

    I've had MHD for about a year. After two weeks you will have seen just about everything they offer. They must have about 20 hours total. There is also nothing exclusive, everything on MHD has been on MTV, VH1 or CMT. Seems like MHD isn't much of a priority. I think they run six hours a day and...

    Rave HD or MTV?

    Seen it. I'm pretty sure that one was shot in 24p, which works in HD. It's a good show, Rave also had Lindsey Buckingham.

    Rave HD or MTV?

    Just a few differences, Rave has "0" commercials, it is a non-commercial service. Rave does not play videos because, as I have said before, there are very few videos in HD. The majority of MHD's videos are SD upconverted to fuzzy HD. You may like the music viceos, but let's be honest, it's not...

    When will we see MHD on Dish??

    No Comparison I have both services. I have to tell you there is no comparison. Rave is so far ahead of MHD. MHD has been playing the same rehashed programs as long as I have had them on my system. I posted this once before, if you think Rave has a high repetition factor then you SHOULDN'T see...

    Why do people bash Voom? It's great.

    Get your facts before you jump to conclusions about who is responsible for HD lite. There are two players involved in this discourse Voom and Dish. All someone needs to do is contact both. Has anyone done that already? This topic has been discussed here for a long time, someone must have done...

    Don't spread lies. Justify that.

    Why do people bash Voom? It's great.

    Your arguments are revisionist. Premiere means NEVER BEEN SEEN ANYWHERE BEFORE. Movies on HD Net,outside of the few orignals, HAVE ALL BEEN SEEN ON TV BEFORE. Tom Petty and Depeche Mode were on Rave recently. They were premieres. Never seen before. Your stats are bogus too. ESPN HD is not...

    Why do people bash Voom? It's great.

    I recently got MTV HD on my system. I'm assuming you have not seen MTV HD or MHD. It's terrible. If you think Rave has repetition this will make your head spin. Plus as I said earlier, they air music videos in SD with bars on the sides. Everyone seems to be complaining about lack of new...

    Why do people bash Voom? It's great.

    It is. I had Voom when it was it's own system, the picture quality was perfect. Okay, at first they had a few kinks to work out, but they got it down. I would bet the house that you are correct.

    Why do people bash Voom? It's great.

    Got a problem with HD lite - call Dish. Voom is HD. Upconverted SD is not HD.

    Why do people bash Voom? It's great.

    Dude, you could not be more wrong. Every Voom original channel premieres more than 20 hours every Quarter! Do the math. Plus you complain of repetition, maybe you would prefer if they played 12 hours a day of standard def with bars on each side? Or how about upcoverting SD (which looks like...

    What HD channels does Dish NOT have?

    Why MHD? Does Dish really need MHD? They have Rave HD, more concerts and no commercials.

    MHD - Comcast beat us!

    Yup. That is ONE of the few music videos that was shot in native HD. There are also animated videos like those from the Gorillaz, but you can count them on one hand, maybe two. I know because I have a friend who works in the music business in video production. The record labels do not want to...

    MHD - Comcast beat us!

    Dish has Rave HD, they are the first, they have a great line up of concerts and series and they continually add new programs. I'm still curious about music videos. It seems like there aren't many produced in HD, so I don't know what they are playing at MHD. I wouldn't be happy with and HD...
