For those who don't know... The Weather Channel isn't just weather maps and temperature readings 24 hours a day. Several of their evening hours are devoted to longform weather-related programs (shows about the top 100 weather stories of all time, shows about extreme weather conditions, etc.) which will surely look beautiful in HD ...Lots of outdoor scenery shots, since that IS where weather occurs :-) With the "action-packed" way those programs are being filmed now, and having them in HD, The Weather Channel is sure to pull in new people who never watched the channel before.
Also I just got Dish Network, and they carry the Voom "HDNews" network, and the maps look wonderful. I'm extremely impressed with the look of the weather segments.
Obviously, we're all entitled to our opinions as far as what we think is a waste of bandwidth and what isn't. I personally think most of the Voom ultra ultra ultra niche channels on Dish are a waste.
