What drunk Dish executive signed that contract?]]>Jun 3rd 2008 3:44PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/Jun 3rd 2008 4:07PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/Jun 3rd 2008 4:24PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/Jun 3rd 2008 4:29PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/Jun 3rd 2008 5:27PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/Jun 3rd 2008 4:50PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/
Good for Dish, I hope this allows them to free up some more bandwidth for more deserving channels.]]>Jun 3rd 2008 6:40PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/Jun 3rd 2008 7:22PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/It's a shame because some of those channels with a little bit of care and good managment could have been valuable.....to make an example Gameplay HD even had a partnership with GameSpot but it was only old content......Gamespot adds every day new Video Reviews and Previews in HD!!! Was it so hard to get all that stuff broadcasted daily?? It would have kicked G4 butt big time!!!.....I cannot belive there was anybody running that company. No wonder it got dropped.]]>Jun 3rd 2008 8:35PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/Jun 3rd 2008 8:57PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/
If you people feel that's a fair trade-off, good for you. I'll take true HD anytime. I am not against Dish adding national HD channels, they need to add those and keep up with the competition, but they had 15 channels of all high def material commercial free, something their competition did not, and being in business for many years, I would never easily let go of an advantage like that. I think many subscribers would have paid a little extra for the Voom channels, I would have. Because I want true high def tv, not stretch-o-vision and 4:3 with the black bar sides. I admit I only watched about 5 of the Voom channels, but those I watched quite a bit. Adding MGM hd was at least adding one channel that is high def all the time, but the Fishing Network in HD? I've not seen one hd show on it yet, as if I am interested in people sitting in a boat for hours in HD anyway.]]>Jun 3rd 2008 11:38PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/Jun 4th 2008 12:09AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/
The bottom line:
Whatever service you have, cable, dish, FIOS, the HD channels are compressed and or in stretch-o-vision 80-90% of the time. If its not really HD, it sucks!]]>Jun 4th 2008 12:07AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/Jun 4th 2008 10:09AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/Jun 4th 2008 6:37AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/
I have Time Warner.........

but I seen a few Voom channels and they suck ass as far as content goes............

they need to step their game up plain and simple...........]]>Jun 4th 2008 7:42AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/Jun 4th 2008 10:00AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/
I've already downgraded my service as Monsters HD and Rave were primary reasons for switching to Dish when I moved. A week after getting the service, they were yanked. I've not had great luck with customer service either, so I may end up paying the fee for breaking the contract. I will gladly do so if I need to.]]>Jun 4th 2008 10:53AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/03/voom-hd-claims-over-1-billion-from-dish-network-drop/
Monster, Rave, Rush, Equator, Kung Fu, Film Fest, Treasure Are all the channels i watched most of the time i was home. Now that those channels are gone i have fewer True HD constent.

HD Theater, Animal Planet HD, Bio HD, Discovery HD, HDnet, Nat Geo HD are all the channels i watch now. Everything else is marked HD but looks like crap.

Sure shows were repeated, but with fewer Selection of True HD Channels I am Pretty sure i will be watching more reruns than before.

Now for those haters of VOOM saying they never watched it and saying the content sucked anyways. That is OK because not everyone watched the same content i can agree.
But it Really sucks for those that did. I mean pulling the plug on channels from one day to the next sucks, No warning , No Advance notice to there customers? What kind of Business does that? Not even a notice of the change on there web-site.

That Just Not Cool. Basterds...

Hell I already had Directv. Now I am under a contract for 11 more month's
If I had known then what I know now, I would of stayed with Directv or would of moved my video/phone/internet services to cable. In my eyes the only thing that set Dish apart from Directv and Cable was there Voom channels.
And if a cable company offers to pay off the remain er of my Dish contract then I will be switching sooner. Will be looking into it...
Cable company in my area is offering a Bundle for $100.00 a month + $15.00 for Hi-Def Dvr
Don't have to worry about rain fade so much.
Paying about $175.00 for all services now
Not about the money, it's about getting what I want for my money. Willing to pay more for what I want.
I hope Voom wins]]>Jul 6th 2008 6:49PM
