Hey his steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car!
I hope this comes soon; I've read threads on AVS that make it sound like DirecTV is starting to show RSN HD broadcasts in-market. If Dish did this I could dump Comcast!goaliebob99 said:Most of the regional sports nets are 1/2 time and wont be picked up for a while
Dish Please for the love of everything holy , put these channels thru as you receive them, 1920x1080i

Well, GuyTV and Majestic are gone, and Film Fest and Kung Fu are on...that's all anybody said was happening today. (Well, the other thing is that Rave is no longer sharing time with Lab.)BTW, for those who expressed concern (myself included) that there was no "general purpose" movie channel...it looks like Film Fest will be it. I was under the impression that Film Fest was all indie/art movies. I saw a promo this morning...can't remember exactly what it was, but I know January 1st-11th is just comedies. Today, they are rotating 2 Woody Allen movies, but later this week is the original Nutty Professor and a few other flicks that definately aren't "art films". Then for a few days after that, it's all period pieces, including some stuff that was just on Majestic a few days ago. The third week was all movies adapted from books, and the last week was all music movies (including Quadrophenia.)
Looks like a great format! I don't know how different it is from the old Film Fest, but for those who complained that there would be no home for, say, Bond films...looks like you may get a whole week of Bond from time to time. There also seems to be a more flexible schedule- the two Woody Allen movies today, but three different movies rotating tomorrow and Thursday, and then they start to get mixed together differently.
UPDATE Looks like Gary confirmed the Bond thing. I wote this a while go, but my internet went down before I could post,

I was one of those complainers and I have to say that I think that I will like this new format very much. I just wish my DVR was higher capacity to get all of those Bond films during the week that they are shown!

Well, EVERYTHING on EVERY Voom channel is stuff from Voom's catalog.
But, for those of us that have only had Voom a few months, the change is already obvious. I watched a portion of two different movies yesterday on Film Fest, and one on Kung Fu. In three months, I watched ONE movie on Majestic and ONE on GuyTV.

What birds are ESPN2 HD and CBS HD going to be on after all the changes? I'm curious because I wasn't told originally that in order to receive my CBS HD I had to be able to view 61.5. So, now I'm wondering if I shoud fork out the $100 (no big deal) and get another dish mounted to my roof (a bigger deal) or if they will be changing anyway.
Thanks,
John
Although I have no interest in it, it makes perfect sense. The new game machines have HD pictures, so why would gamers want to watch SD coverage on G4? (Not to mention the fact the G4 is now programming non-gaming shows, and will probably be totally generic in a few years.)
It's a gigantic market that likes to spend money on the newest technology. Can't imagine why anyone would want to attract it.
Yet another case of "Everything sucks except what I like" mentality.
