I upgraded to HD on dish to get voom. Without it why should I stay on dish (love sci-fi). Why would anyone criticize what others enjoy to watch. It doesn't always have to be about you only.
I don't see them going away for awhile. This could be a long fight.
Grab some popcorn and stay tuned.
Yeah, but other then premium movie channels, most of those so-called HD channels have little to no HD right now. At least, inspite of lots of repeats, Voom is all HD all the time. I would be sad to see it go.
I still shake my head at all of the energy I put in to being frustrated by not having Sci Fi HD, and then when I get it... other then BSG, not much HD at all..![]()
From a retailer stand point, if it means getting rid of Voom to get some REAL HD channels that everyone is familier with then I say lets get rid of Voom.
I can persoanally say that I have had a subscription to the Voom channels ever since they where on their own satellite service, and during these past 3-4 years I have probably watched the Voom channels less than 3 hours in total during that time.
At the same time, the Voom channels do not help sell the DISH Network service! Channels like USA, SCi-FI and Discovery channel do!
Don't tell me Chiller comes even close to Monsters Chanel.

I actually think voom is hurting dish more than what any of you realize. Voom has been showing nothing but repeats for a while now. They obviously haven't been putting money twards programming as their library shows it. Now if they were to get rid of them, dish has the space to add 12 additional HD channels that gives them the room to compete with D* and possibly gain the HD leader status back until D* fires back. Who wants to watch repeats? Voom maybe able to still market monsters HD, and sell its rave programming to MHD, which they do already. Now, dish could potentally settle down the Voom crowd by adding Chiller HD. I think we all agree that monsters HD is the only channel on Voom that is really worth while.
