Thanks for the update on the Voom kerfluffle. I’m waiting for another month or two to see if Dish decides to restore Voom; if not, I’m switching to Direct, if for no other reason than the manner in which Dish stripped some of my favorite HD channels without notice and without commensurately reducing my bill for the reduced service.
I loved the “Monster Channel” especially when they played the old black & white movies.
I may do likewise. I am missing VOOM as well. Just before pulling the plug, DiSH offer a VOOM channel called VOOM Movies that they had been holding out on. I had several movies set to record when DiSH pulled the plug. Half of what they have now provided as "new" HD channels are crap like Bravo and a lot of stretched stuff.
