You really think so, Sean? Can you give me examples related to Equator, Gallery, WorldCinema, FilmFest? Those were 90% of all the channels we watched.

I like this original poster's enthusiasm. But until I see the "old guys" from the VOOM DBS threads jumping up and down about how great VOOM is again, I am not buying. The last I heard there are still too many repeats, and the rez ain't what it used to was. I will wait until VOOM is as good...

Question, you guys.... I am an old VoOmer and still have the Voom dish proudly hanging on my house. I have not kept up with all the Dish news, but I just read this thread about the added VoOm channels as of Feb. 1. This good news is getting me interested in climbing aboard, but only...

You guys are making me glad I haven't signed up yet. Maybe someday...

I swear, Voom's whole problem had to be getting the word out. We are not the only people who would appreciate all that Voom had going for it. That is why this whole shutdown drives me NUTZ. Voom was a fantastic product and a great step forward, and now it is shutting down? Drives me...

Agreed, Gill. But then again, I have never owned a DVR to skip commercials. That would help. Have you tried to watch a movie with commercials recently? I tried it for the first time in ages. The commercials totally wrecked the continuity of the film. I had to change the channel. Wasn't...

Last night I saw on FilmFestHD a series of about 4 or 5 "DOC HD" channel ID bumpers, like they were announcing "DOC HD" as the new channel name. The bumpers came on just before a short documentary about a woman who repairs old mechanical watches and clocks in NYC. Someone put a lot of work...

On HaHa, I would like a day of old comedy classics in HD -- Laurel & Hardy, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd. I would especially like this after the DVR comes out, so I can record these in HD!

I would like to see these in HD: A Beautiful Mind Titanic Vanya on 42nd Street

This was excellent, too! This whole series is terrific!

Sorry for going way OT, but if you are getting the foreign film bug, you might check out "The Barbarian Invasions" (2004). It is a special favorite of mine, but by no means for everybody. It's been on the premium channels. Perhaps you have already seen it.

This is why I LOVE Voom's WorldCinema channel. I could use 3 more HD channels like that one. Less than a mile from our house is an independent cinema showing only art films, foreign films, and independent films. No American blockbusters. I used to go there a lot, but I cut back on my...

I won't spoil the ending, but I will tell you she doesn't sing. Definitely a French film! You will never see an American film like this.

It wasn't his daughter. Incidentally, she is now his wife, in case you haven't noticed. Not that I disagree with you -- I still think Woody was a jerk. But I love his films. The most revealing film about Woody is "Dead Man Blues", the documentary about him and his dixieland jazz band...

Well said, TheTimm. I couldn't have said it better. :up

Hi riffjim. We don't get OTA here, period. So we miss that whole side of the "Voom experience" including the new DMA maps, etc. We have to go to cable if we want locals. :(

I have to say I am impressed. I can't believe this movie is 12 years old and I never saw it before tonight. What creative writing and what a fun movie! Thanks, VOOM! Such an unexpected treat! :D

Did you notice how the cameras switched between HD and SD? The hallway (handheld?) shots were SD.

Oh, well. A lot of people will watch Equator and Gallery today. ;) Glad I have the premium channels! :D

What Time Is It There? - 1.5 stars (out of 5) : This Chinese film on WorldCinema was described as a comedy drama. (?) Yes, there are a couple strange/funny parts, but overall I wish somebody would explain this film to me. I didn't get it. The two main characters meet ever so briefly. The...

Bring back the Voom Guide Guy!! :D Just kidding. :eek:

Outstanding acting job. The range of characters all those guys had to portray was outrageous.

Channel for Discovery HD is 601.

DaveKendra, we are with you in becoming totally bummed if Voom ever stops broadcasting. I am not real big on Worldsport, but we caught two great premium HD movies again last night and also watched Gallery and Equator, and I have to say, the longer we have Voom, the more we LOVE :love Voom! I...

Except why is that called a "Jazz" festival? There's no jazz.
