It seems that there are a lot of subs that had their "few" favorite VOOM channels but not necessarily the same few. Apparently, the only way to appease all of the subs would be to restore all 15 VOOM channels.
Understood. Just saying, Voom did very little for my house. I think it all depends on if you have one or two TVs, or if you have a big house with many TVs. I sure can't afford HD on all the TVs, so most any HD issue is not a big deal to me.
Getting locals on HD is much more important than HD national content. Being able to watch bigtime sports events in HD is very important.
I take it an antenna won't work for you. National HD is way more important to me than HD-lite locals. Every subscriber is different. Bottom line is Dish and Voom disagreed and now they're gone.
Back on topic, I still miss much of Voom. However, Travel, Tennis and MGM HD have been pleasant surprises. The rest (even ABC Family or Disney? which shows HD episodes of "Greek") don't impress me at all.
Opps, It was Treasure, Rush and Equator...
Yes, I would jump to them for Monsters, Rave and Equator.
Glad no, miss it not really.
I miss it once in a while, I would watch something to kill time, but that was about it.

I was considering the antennae route, but it's tricky in my two story house. And, I read months ago that Grand Rapids, MI was very soon on the list to be added. So, here I wait.................
I just wish that all of the satellite providers would have tackled this issue differently. One national HD feed for each network and use the SD feeds of the locals for local programming and commmercial fills. Then we wouldn't be wasting all of this bandwidth. Better yet, get rid of the ridiculously stupid requirement that I have to sub to my locals and make it a free market. My local CBS and FOX are STILL not broadcasting in HD so I should be able to shop somewhere else.
And you would have local HD news and syndicated shows be broadcast SD? Sorry, doesn't and probably never will work that way. Broadcasters will never bend and the government won't make them.
Maybe I watch the wrong channels (had had Idaho Falls, ID, Chicago, Denver and Salt Lake City in HD in the past year) but I don't think that I have seen any syndicated shows in HD on any of these channels. I don't watch a lot of syndicated stuff but my wife does.
I think that as network tv continues to lose it's relevance that we may someday see the ability to pick whichever feed we want to receive.
Have to say VOOM was gone for me the day they offered they 9.99 pack.
Cant say I ever missed them.

VOOM is gone from DISh and so am I. With VOOM Dish had something no one else had. 15 non-commercial HD channels along with all the others; something DirectV would never have. With VOOM gone they became just another Sat service with the same channels as Direct. So, I switched to Direct. For the SAME lineup it was $37 cheaper per month! Check it out. Oh, and thanks Charlie for saving me all that money. And you only have 53 channels....not 80. Didn't your first grade teacher teach you to count??
