Those arent on the uplink. That is just national hd channels that dish doesnt carry. Some arent available any where in the u.s.

Ah! Monsters in 3-D. One of my favorites from Voom!

Then again, if it's what it was the last month or so before it went away, I won't pay for it again. Same 3-4 shows over and over. Not worth it to me.

VOOM is out of bussiness.

Has nothing to do with VooM being in business or not. Just a couple of the old VooM channels still out there, and being carried in places al Carte. NOT on Dish, but out there so you just never know.

Yes, but not carrying the same programming as was available here in the US.

Voom HD is not dead yet.

Monsters HD is however history.

MONSTERS HD - BORN: OCTOBER 2003 - DIED: JANUARY 2009

VOOM HD Networks is ceasing all US operations and even if they didn't, the 1 billion dollar lawsuit would surely keep the two remaining networks (and anything new that Rainbow might create) off of DISH Network.

Certainly shows the level of fault Voom had in the matter. I never got why the Voom 15 could be split up for Canada, yet it was 15 or bust for Dish and other US providers.

I have little doubt Monsters, Rave, and Equator at least would still be around had Voom split them up.

Unless the content has international appeal I don't see VoomHD keeping those stations.

Still, as others have said, VoomHD no longer has anything to do with Dish or any other carrier in the US.

Really, this thread does not even belong here, maybe 'General Satellite Discussion'.

Just wave bye bye to VoomHD. :wave::wave::wave:

Yeah, talk about your all-time negotiating blunders. That's even worse than Charlie's misfire with TiVO.

There is a small brewery in Wisconsin called Gray's near Madison. They tell a story about a guy who came to their brewery way back when and tried to convince them to make this carbonated beverage he came up with. They didn't like it and decided not to make it. It ended up being sold under the label named Coca-Cola! DOH!
