For those who subscribe to DishHD

As of some point in 2007 (Feb 1?), all DishHD subs will be paying $20/month for the DishHD package. Would you prefer paying the $20/month for the present HD channel package, or paying $10/mon for the same package minus the 15 VOOM channels?

I'll add that I am a VOOM watcher. So this is not an anti-VOOM rant. I'm just interested in seeing where this group stands on the question.

I would love to cut the Voom channels out since they are nothing but reruns that I 've seen over and over and over again.

Other than great PQ, Voom offers little in the way of quality programming for the average joe. I could count on one hand the number of times I have actually watched voom after having it since day#1 of it being on dish. There is just not enough compelling content for me.

I like some of the voom channels, but I would drop them just because it's repeats of the same shows years old now.. Rave is about the only thing I watch that occassionaly has something I haven't seen.. and thats very rare..

Rave alone worth the 10 bucks.

It would help me if I knew which channels in the 9xxx range were Voom channels. I really only like UniHD, HDNet, HDMovies and ESPN. If none of those are Voom, I would prefer to keep my $10.

If you're so unhappy with Dish HD, maybe you should switch to cable and see how green the grass is there.

Yup... and as for Reruns... anyone catch the New Tom Petty Concert that started this month? It was worth the $10 alone for me...

No Way

I use to have Voom and the extra 10 bucks is for the 10 HD voom channels. ( what use to be voom ) and I never whated these. ie Monster channel, RUSH, etc. I'd rather keep what I have now. At least their watchable channels. HDNET, Discovery. Looks like they want to force these other channels on new customers.
