I had Cuban's channels with my D HD package. In my opinion they aren't that great. Kept showing the same stuff over and over again. And D would butcher the bandwidth and make the shows look like a slideshow. So if Cuban's ego is too big for him to let Voom have his channels, that's fine by me.

No I wouldn't. There are many shows I enjoy watching on HDNET. I watch the Dish HD Pack all the time and rarely tune in Voom, there just isn't much content there for me (Voom Basic Pack). I'm seriously considering dropping Voom since I hardly ever watch it.Dvlos said:

That's wierd this month I have seen three movies on Conema10 (Heaven and Earth, Mad Mac, and some other movie that Deniro is a stroke victim), like 5 movies on MonstersHD, 3 concerts on Rave, Equator, and Rush. Aside from that I spend all my time watching HD on the other channels (VaVaVoom). All good stuff I have no patience for crappy movies/shows.
I make tons of DVD's from MonstersHD and Rave, but I rarely watch them live, there just isn't enough time in the day. Perhaps when the PVR comes out, things will change, but for now, HDNET fits my schedule much better.
It was funny, last night I had Bikini Destinations on and a crew came by to demo a Kirby vacuum cleaner. The guys sat on the couch for 1/2 hour watching BD and when it was over, NASCAR came on and they didn't want to do their demo! Too funny, they were glued to the screen. The first time the bass shaker kicked in, this guy looks up, startled and looks around..."What was that?". My roommate and I just cracked up laughing.

Screw Cuban. Personally I think D* or E* is paying him not to have HDNet on V*...cuz V* is HD from the ground up, where the other's arent...If he is such a big proponent of HD, then it would be in his best interest to have his content on V*...
I have personnally corresponded with Mr. Cuban and I can tell you that he does not take lightly the fact that any provider messes up the PQ of his channels. I believe that he is waiting for Voom to get their PQ up to par so his channels will look like they should. As Voom is currently, they are not up to par, hopefully with WM9, Voom can get the PQ up to where HDNET can present itself in all of it's 1080i 19 mbps glory.dlayphoto said:

What B.S.
My cable company has HDNet ans the PQ is crap.
Cuban did not check out Buckeye cable in Toledo before he cut a profitable deal.
Did you get his autograph?
The Cuban vs Dolan conflict is about $$$, not PQ. If CVC gave the contract to Cuban tomorrow, we will have HDnet on VOOM the next day. It is all about $$$$.
I agree. Money Talks!!! And that's why I keep saying that we should keep asking Voom for HDNet and inHD (see my signature)Sean Mota said:
Here's his email address, he would be more than happy to address a crappy PQ issue: mark@hd.netKentstater72 said:
