Everyone should downgrade to $10 HD today.

[Doppy]

Just to get the message across to Dish that their VOOM garbage is not enough and we want NEW HD. We do not want to pay $20 for LESS channels than you can get with DirecTV for $10.

I suggest when you downgrade you tell the representative that the lack of new HD channels is the reason.

Oboy, here comes the Voomers vs. the Voom-haters, part 23

I just downgraded just because I don't watch Voom. I got them to waive the $5 downgrade fee.

Does the Essential Pack include HD Net? dishchannelchart.com shows it only with Ultimate.

edit1: Dish's website shows it with Essential, so I'm going to call and downgrade.

edit 2: Programming changed. $10 less/month for channels I don't watch (with exception of Universal, but it's all old stuff anyway, at least until the Olympics).

Yes.

DISH Network -- Dish HD

I will definitely do it.

 

[Sean Mota]

well, I am not going to part of "everyone"

 

[goober]

+1. I'll pick my own battles.

 

[socalpanman]

Stuck because I watch the suite of Vooms the most.
But I do want the option to choose so as a consumer I want every HD source out there.
If someone sold an HD only service, providing everything out there; nationals, ppv, vod etc., I'm there in a credit card swipe.
So the market forces are at work and heating up. Dish better compete.

I enjoy Filmfest and a couple of others too much, even with all the repeats...

 

[ptuck874]

did mine as well, loved monsters when i first got it, got so mad here lately with them, i give it up quick

I'm with you there! voOm was apparently too new for its time, but perhaps now another HD only service wouldn't only survive, but THRIVE...! I fear the price would be high, but if the PQ was as good as voOm's was then there might be enough demand...

 

[cmcnabb]

Personally,I'd rather they keep the Voom stuff and get rid of all the Big10/NHL/NBA HD Garbage.

 

[tigerfan33]

Why don't we all dump any hd and just get sd so they will add more hd. Not!!!

Uhmmmm....thanks, no. Speak for yourself, not for me....

 

[richiephx]

I just downgraded to the essentials pack. I hope E* gets the message that people want more new programming on VOOM and not less. A year ago, I could say I would miss VOOM especially MonstersHD but, over the last few months, with all the programming cutbacks, I can now say that my flesh is no longer edible. . VOOM is not worth the additional 10 bucks anymore and neither is Universal since they now interrupt programming with commercials and pop ups.

 

[Chena]

Some of us have always been on a $10 package.

 

[briani]

I realize many customer's are frustrated with waiting for new HD channels to be added...I was also frustrated when I was paying an extra $20.00 a month for HD programming. Fortunately, the new "DishHD" HD only package($34.99 w/locals) was a great option for me. The only SD channel I would watch is CNBC for business news......and I'll miss that channel....but I'm alot happier to not be paying for crappy SD channels I never watch. This package will be a better value later this year when NEW HD channels are added.

I am keeping every HD channel I have; you can downgrade if you want, but I am happy. If you think downgrading is going to send them a message, I think you are mistaken.
