Here's an idea that programmers can latch on to:
Offer two feeds of a channel, one with usual commercials, the other a pay channel with the same content but no commercials. Fill time between shows with clips from past classics carried by that station, or just run an 18 minute schedule. With DVR, it wouldn't be hard to keep with the different schedule. While the majority of viewers would stick to the commercial-filled content, diehards can pay for their favorite channel in a commercial-free format. Offer these as premium -ala carte channels. For example, you have USA in your regular lineup but you pay an extra $2 to have their commercial free version. You don't care enough about other channels to pay $2 for those so USA is your only ala carte pick. I would pay $3 extra a month for commercial free SPIKE. What would you pay extra for your fave channel in commercial free? ( We know you VOOMers would pay $10 for a bundle of those)

I don't consider HDNMV and MGM premium channels. They are just in a higher tier of HD. Just like you get more channels with AT250 than AT100. I wouldn't call the other 150 you get with AT250 premium just because you pay more.
The schedule didn't look anything like this when DISH Network last carried MonstersHD. One was lucky to get three or four different movies in a 24 hour period. The above looks like a fireworks finale in comparison to the old grind.
The point is still the same. We're paying hundreds (thousands) a year to watch pretty close to 33% commercial content. Thank God for DVRs.
I recorded the Open and started watching 1½ hours into it and finished at the end.

This is one reason why people get DVR's, to skip those dang commercials. I go to people's houses and they are like "have you seen that commercial? That is a funny one" and I tell them that I do not watch many commercials anymore because of my digital video recorder.
GET OVER IT kstuart! This thread topic is "Commerical-free Channels?". Barely more than 30 days ago, E* had 15 Commercial Free channels on their service. Voom hardly seems inappropriate for such a thread topic, and is actually pretty appropriate.THIS IS SPAM !!

And you know nothing about what will, or will not, exist in two weeks.
You are telling someone else to " GET OVER IT " ???

I can't recall HDNET playing any "commercials". HDNET does run its in-house promos to promote HDNET programming or its own films set for theatrical release.
I don't ever try to silence other people. I dont enter threads and complain that people are whining. I simply exit the thread if the posts are tiresome.
seriously.. the mods need to start deleting these thead-jacking posts.. it's been long enough, we've listen to the voomers whine LONG enough in threads about every topic that didn't relate to voom.. seriously start removing anymore "I hate to bring this up but VOOM.." crap..
Repeats was just an excuse, you have to have repeats because you have new HD subs all the time. I would sure like a chance to watch some the so called repeats again. I never did get everything watched that was on.
As long as the mods also delete the "I hate to bring this up but Speed HD..(FX HD, Spike HD, etc)" crap.
....and they should also delete the comments of those that say....seriously start removing anymore "I hate to bring this up but VOOM.." crap.. too.
