Thinking of switching to D*- Question

[kirbyhawk]

I am a happy E* customer, but I am thinking of switching to D* because of the BTN issue. I am hoping someone can help me with this question. Is there any chance DirecTV will pick up the VOOM networks?

I know there has been a lot of criticism of the VOOM channels, and I can see why. However, I do enjoy the programming on Rush, Rave, Treasure, and especially Gallery and Equator. I am not enthusiastic about giving up those channels.

Anyone have any insight in to whether this is a possibility?

I believe Chase at D* has ridiculed the Voom channels in the past. D*'s loss IMO. I would love to get Worldsport.

I agree, I don't think they will.

I would love to get WorldSport again too (former V* sub). Seeing any soccer in HD is great, and WorldSport was wonderful for that.

Don't those channels actually belong to Dish now?

IIRC, E* has a financial interest in them but they don't control them, Rainbow Media controls them.
