You're right bradley: Not all Voomers will want to view the fight.
But, having said that, how bad would it hurt the HDCinema10 channels if each one was dropped down by 1 MBPS? How many people would this really effect? I suppose one would have to compare how many viewers would be watching the HDCinema10 channels to how many viewers would be watching the fight. And the entire fight event is probably only going to last about 3 hours. So, at most, the event would effect 1.5 movies per HDCinema10 channel. I think it would definitely be to Vooms advantage to go through with this. A lot of non-HD consumers will be watching this event at their buddies house who does have Voom.
Plus, this type of event really does need a lot of bandwidth so that it doesn't have macroblocking. Did you ever see the Britney Spears concert that Showtime produced earlier this year? !sadroll
Yuck! The concert was nice and full of color (if you were there live), but it was bad for HD since the lighting was wild and to much movement/camera switches. It would have been okay with more bandwidth. The Tyson fight is sure to have lots of camera flashes from the crowd. They usually dim the lights when the fighters go out to the ring. The punches are fast (and if they fill up the screen, that's a lot of movement.)So anyhow, I think I've made my point.
There's no need to turn off anything. They have at least two spot of HD channels empty right now. So they can use those to allocate more bandwith to 711.
IM not saying anything.. Just shaking my head. Now some of the moderators are for increased PQ for one event?...Lmao.
Crank it up............... I want to see every little detail of Tyson flipping out and biting off Williams big toe.

Any chance we can show off our setups and get more people into HD then I am all for it. 
Crank up the bandwidth VOOM!

I am wondering how easy this MBps manipulation is (I am sure it is not as easy as moving sliders for different channels). Does anybody know the mechanism?
Geez,
This has been my hot issue with Voom on this forum for weeks, ever since I went into a Video store and saw DTV running on a plasma showing HDnet.
The picture was way better than every Voom channel although even with HDnews.
This sucks if Voom makes a crap free fight great PQ- and ingnores everything else.

Are you sure the fight will be in HD? Even if it is not, Voom kicks Dish and DirecTV a$$es for making it free.
Gee, if Voom would just deliver 4-5 of its the best channels with "wow" factor, I would leave my wife and ask Voom to marry me.
P.S.
Without Voom guide guy!!!

It's all computer based and, although I've never used the system, I'd imaging it would be a simple function.andrzej said:

In other words, a no-win situation. Great PQ for the fight - it sux. Normal PQ for the fight - it sux as well. I call it whining.
Honestly, I think it would be great if Wilt would pull something like this off. But there's this little guy in my head telling me that it won't happen. Either way, I have to thank Voom for giving it to us for free. And the practicalities of doing this are great, but I can't say that I feel like it's going to happen. Maybe because it's me who's doing the asking.
