this actually makes me more sad than anything i've read about HD in a while. my favorite times of having HD on my TV were when Dish still had Voom and i could hit a weekend with nothing to do and just sit and watch Monsters HD for hours on end. i LOVED that network. it will go down in history as my favorite TV station ever. i was sad when Dish cut Voom, and i am sadder now that they the network is gone in every other way with no chance of a return.

my wife and i have Blockbuster Online which we rent Blurays from, and we have never had an issue with a movie we couldn't play. we've been with them for about a year and have rented close to 100 Blurays without ever receiving one that we had any issues with at all. plus, we don't pay a "Bluray premium" and can trade in discs at a local store. here's hoping Blockbuster at least stays in business enough to keep the Online part going, because we have been nothing but happy.

My PS3 will be on there immediatly so my wife and I can have some beautiful 1080p.
