VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

[jmjunkin]

I hope this is not old news but I just checked the Dish website and it has been updated with the new HD. Only 5 Voom channels are now listed under HD Ultimate. They are Kung Fu, Monsters, Rave, Rush, and Equator. I think Voom is about to be downsized.

those were changed to a different package i dont think the others are going anywhere

What package. They are not listed anywhere unless I am blind. That is a possibility.

If I had $1 for every web page mistake on the Internet, I could buy Dish Network Corporation !

I agree with the OP. I remember seeing a lot more before they updated the website.

 

[Sean Mota]

I do not see the rest anywhere either. A mistake or something is about to drop?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes I am seeing the same thing... Only 5 VOOM HD channels listed.

 

[jpdubose]

Rave is the only one I ever really watch, so if it's staying, then I'm cool with it as long as they replace the ones they take down with new national HD.

I am going to miss HD NEWS.

 

[navychop]

Shouldn't HD Ultimate have all the Voom (& other HD) channels?

 

[jmjunkin]

It also say under the DIShHD tab that it includes New favorites from Voom. I am telling you something is up. We all know about the lawsuit. I bet they are just going to keep the most popular channels and the rest are history.

the only thing in HD in these two are the HD part of their channel; the rest is SD

I agree but that is the only thing I can think of. I dont watch it. I would have kept Voom Hd Movies instead but they did not ask me.

Its not for me.

I have yet to see somthing in hd worth tuning to.

Given VOOM's programming lately, 5 channels could probably carry all their current content. Given the information in the lawsuit, it appears obvious that VOOM is not working as a business venture, and is losing a ton of cash. Reducing down to 5 channels probably will probably help that problem since no one else seems interested in carrying all 15 channels.

It is a win for Dish too, 10 more national channel spaces open up.

I'm not seeing this. When I go to the site, it's the same as it was yesterday.
