New Channels Added in December (Old thread)

Channel 251 TMC HD and 281 Boxing it looks like.

Yes and My First Mister(HD OAR) is playing right now...

Here's a pic of the boxing channel....

HD movie looks excellent PQ. The SD movie that was playing before was not great PQ as the SD movies in Starz-HD. But again who cares about SD movies...

Better and better....

Voom wants to be known as a premium HD service so why even have the 2nd channel in SD.

 

[Sean Mota]

Contracts. These providers will not let VOOM carry only the HD channels. They also want V*, E*, D* and cable as well to carry their regular SD channels. It will be interested to see what's going to happen as HD channels are in demand and growing and the SD channels eventually are phase out.

Here's another pic of the 281 Boxing channel. Look at the description of the channel and the description of the event.

Sean,

According to your channel lineup from the source code channel 281 is supposed to be INHD. I wonder why VOOM selected this channel to use for boxing ? Maybe this means INHD will be added after the boxing ends on Saturday.

 

[Sean Mota]

Good observation Lucky. I did not think about that. Maybe it is...

I don't have any description about the event. Do you have to reboot every time a new channel is added?

I do not know if you have to everytime a new channel is added but when I first heard about the new channel, I could not see it in the PG and I rebooted. So, Reboot.

 

[Sean Mota]

The PG now shows 251 as TMC-HD and the programming information is in including the programs designated as HD. Cool!

Interesting... Would that be in HD? If so, you should contact Rainbow Media. But if this is in SD, they wouldn't be interested, I suspect.
