I made the move to the Essentials pack this morning. It made perfect sense for me as I hardly ever watched any of the VOOM channels anymore (too many repeats and outdated events). The change on the guide only took a minute to update, however I've noticed one weird issue w/ HDNET. This channel is described as being available w/ the Essentials pack, and it is unlocked on channel 9422 (I think that was it), however it also shows up on the guide as a blocked red channel on 5350. I thought this was odd.
