So the $15 a month I'm paying for hd is more than the $30 a month you have to pay to get all of the hd on E?

save for Equator and Treasure( excellent pic quality) those VOOM chs are pretty useless.Exactly!!!!. For the 500,000 that like Voom, there's 13 million that don't! It just so happends 100,000 of them are on Satellite guys, and 400,000 on DBS talk.![]()
Yea I can't complain about PQ, Just the repeated content. Make,them into 3 ,4 channels tops, not 15. And they could call it VOOM extra pack for $3.99save for Equator and Treasure( excellent pic quality) those VOOM chs are pretty useless.
Kung Fu and Monsters?....Ok I am sure there is a niche market for these old assed chop saki and Godzilla/VS Mothra flicks....But to use that much band width on a such a small market is foolish and wasteful.
I doubt the contract says that, since at the beginning Voom was in a package that you had to pay an extra $5/mo for in addition to the required $10/mo HD package, which was the status quo until the Metal packages came about. What is happening now is no different than before the metal packages, except that it's $10/mo extra to get Voom instead of $5/mo.The issue isn't the quality of the product (and 15 channels of 24/7 HD ain't hay), it's how the contract between Dish and VOOM is written. If it specifically says that the VOOM channels must be present in every HD package that Dish offers, then VOOM has a good case.
So the $15 a month I'm paying for hd is more than the $30 a month you have to pay to get all of the hd on E?my total monthly bill to get 150 + locals sd/hd + hd channels comes to $60 a month.
Here's where a big problem around here lies - there are not 13 million HD subscribers. More like 500,000. The others are all SD subscribers who know nothing about Voom. Liking or disliking Voom is about 50/50 among the few that actually get it.Exactly!!!!. For the 500,000 that like Voom, there's 13 million that don't!

By the way Brain eaters is on every 2 hours today in case you didn't catch it. On Monsters HDHere's where a big problem around here lies - there are not 13 million HD subscribers. More like 500,000.

This is also why E* could care less about all the "I'm leaving if I don't get SciFi-HD channel" that goes on here. Those departures barely make a dent in the monthly churn rate of regular subscribers.
It would be great if Voom added more HD content regularly. They have the best presentation and format for their HD content AND its not upconverted stretch-zoomed SD like all those other supposed HD channels.
Or care about Voom.. We'll take a poll!Here's where a big problem around here lies - there are not 13 million HD subscribers. More like 500,000. The others are all SD subscribers who know nothing about Voom.
Voom is pure garbage anymore.
If Dish we're to drop them and open up space for more mainstream HD I wouldn't care at all...
