Shame on you DISH, the VOOM package was the reason I loved and signed up with DISH.  I loved your Monster HD and also Gallery HD.  You had a good thing going. 
Mr. CEO, if you’re sharp, you beg to get VOOM back on your schedule.
If not back on the DISH lineup, by the time my contract expires, I’m jumping ship.
WAKE UP, YOU HAD A GREAT LINEUP
NOT NOW - REALLY STUPID MOVE

This is indeed a big loss for DISH viewers.  Voom’s movie channels like Film Fest, World, Monsters, and Kung Fu were consistently better than anything DISH has replaced them with.  Were there repeats?  Sure.  Name me a movie channel that doesn’t have frequent repeats?  (OK, TCM, but then they are the creme-de-la-creme, except they don’t broadcast in HD.)

In fact, Voom’s movie channels were second only to HDNET in terms of quality and correctness—OAR, original aspect ratio.  Recent highlights included pristine HD transfers of the complete Planet of the Apes series from the early 70s in widescreen, and slew of Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Bruce Lee movies on Kung Fu—all in new HD transfers, all OAR, and all unlikely to appear anywhere else, any time soon.  And, of course, uncut and commercial free!

The so-called HD channels that DISH has added instead of VOOM have far fewer HD programs (most are just SD stretched to look wide, and upconverted to try to look HD), too often crop the movies, and insert ads and overlays into the movies.  This is an upgrade?  Hardly. 

But at least the new channels have name recognition :-(

Actually the new hd channels are true hd the ones before were mpeg2 the new ones are mpeg4

this is no great loss, the voom channels sucked.

What offends me more than the loss of the unique (commercial free) true HD channels were removed from Dish and replaced by a bunch of witless crap, half of which is not even being broadcast in true hi def, is Dish networks flat out lies about adding 22 hi def channels.  They failed to even mention that all VOOM channels would be discontinued.  I found out when I went to check Film Fest and World Cinema channels for the film line ups for the day. Now the closest I can expect to come to any hi def movies that aren’t typical major studio junk is the occasional film thirties and forties film cinemax shows.  Shame on Dish for falling into another run of the mill service that is at best the same old same old fodder.
