Because it makes about as much sense as complaining about why Betamax is gone. Is Voom coming back? Don't know, don't care. And if I didn't read a voom thread that would eliminate about 75 percent of the dish network forum on account of the people who can't get over the fact that 15 little watched, often repeated 'tv channels' were removed from a service they're still choosing to pay for. If you're that adamant about it, don't waste your money on a service that's obviously inferior and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Some complaints are what this forum is for, but not the same complaint repeated ad nauseum by the same people in different threads. So there.
Outside of the Voom thread most mention of Voom in others threads are by people who dislike Voom. This thread for instance was created by a member who dislikes Voom very much. And he likes to stir things up. Complain to people like him. He must have little big man syndrome or something.
To Dish Network: If you really want to reclaim the HD leadership and to have an edge over DirecTV, then settle the lawsuit, and bring VOOM back in one form or another! Yes, VOOM is not for everyone, but it does have its passionate crowd of fans, and it truly makes Dish unique: all other HD channels will quickly find their way to DirecTV and other TV providers.
To VOOM: Stop doing daily repeats and go with normal monthly/weekly rotation cycle like all other channels are doing. The CINEMA-10 concept was introduced back in VOOM DBS times, when VOOM didn't offer DVR's. It made sense back then. Now, in DVR age, daily repeats are pointless and are plain annoying! Rainbow has a huge library of excellent movies, big enough to avoid repeats for weeks! Just implement a smarter rotation cycle and keep adding new content. That will eliminate the biggest complaint.
In this poll I vote for VOOM for a simple reason: I love the new premium HD channels, but they offer mostly the same content that was available to us before in SD or even in HD: just more choices throught the day. VOOM offered movies and programs that could not be found on any other channel even in SD. It's irreplaceable, IMHO.

If you had said "HD-DVD" instead of "Betamax", I would've agreed with you. But there's no comparison to Betamax. We have better than Betamax now. We do not have better than Voom.
Gosh, E* subs must dislike the premium movie channels nearly as much as they dislike The One Who Shalt Not Be Named. TOWSNBN is only losing 45.53% to 50.41% as of right now. I'd have thought that TOWSNBN would have gotten slaughtered by the movie premiums...
And this proves that there are more than just a couple of us who like Voom as the thread starter and others wish to believe. Going against the premium channels would be tough for any package of channels. Even if 30-35% of the HD subscribers want Voom back that is pretty decent #s.
It isn't that I dislike Voom. I dislike that Voom was over priced and over rated. They basically had about 5 channels worth of material that was stretched out to 15.
I have no doubt that there are people who like Voom. This poll only has 90 or so votes that is not a good representation of the HD subs. I am sure if all of the HD subs voted the poll would lean a lot more to one side then the other.
Again that is why I made this poll. It was asked in another thread Turbo VS Voom I thought this was a better question. If you had to pick which would it be Premiums in HD or Voom. It is in my opinion the better business decision by Dish. They will attract more customers with HD premiums than Voom.
I am very sorry that you are still so upset over the loss of Voom channels but do you need to lower yourself to saying I have little big man syndrome (whatever that is). It is time to get over it.
Yes, probably correct. Premiums in hd are great to have. Why not have both though. I think most people would be overjoyed if we had both. E* would clearly be the hd leader if they had both. Voom would help set them apart from D* and those that don't care about NFL.
The little big man syndrome was a joke. Sorry if I offended you. Most of what you say I agree with.
Not really, first not all members that are dish HD subs will vote. The hardcore Voom fans will vote but any member that could care less about voom will probably stay away because voom is in the title. Since all Dish HD subs are not members of this site and members of this site may be more particular about their HD channels that would also affect the vote.
This sounds like the kind of explanation you would read from someone when the poll didn't work the way they wanted it to.
Your participation in any Voom discussions would be much more palatable if you would refrain from saying "get over it". Why not go find some viewers who want the Yes Network on Dish and tell them it isn't on Dish so get over it.
This poll was made because of my comments in this thread : http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/144069-turbohd-vs-voom.html
I didn't come up with the idea just created the poll.
With that said,I believe what I said is true and you are one of the voom fans that came in because voom was in the title.

Well, there you have it. You made it so results could not be tampered with. Now that the results are not in your favor you want to discredit the poll. You will feel better if you admit to yourself that there are more than 3 of us here that like Voom.

Apparently, this poll is only for people who don't know what Voom is or don't like Voom?
What kind of poll is that?
Spatch, did you really expect things to turn out different. Thanks to you, we now have another Voom-Boom going on. Nice work
There is a particularly large group of Satguys who like to discuss how much they hate these 15 channels, and enter any thread about these 15 channels to argue about them. I dont know if these same folks post in threads about every channel they dislike, or if they reserve their venom for just these 15. For some reason, these 15 particular channels need to be exterminated, as they seem to threaten the continued existence of the human race.
:
Because there are people who register new accounts to try stir things up. Scott has said this in the past about voomers. I see a couple that may fit the bill.
How am I trying to discredit the poll. I didn't say anything about which way the poll was going that was you. I just disagreed that this is an accurate sample of HD subs. This is just a sample of Satelliteguys members not Dish HD subs.
There are a couple of you Voomers who have a "I'm right, your wrong" attitude about every thing voom related. I added this in the beginning of this thread before many votes were in
I am tired of trying to explain what things mean to you. Maybe if you read slower next time you will understand what I wrote.
