The following references an article comment thread found on the website ElectronicHouse.com: http://www.electronichouse.com/article/comments/consumers_are_clueless_about_dtv_transition Regarding the comments made in response to the January 30, 2008 article by Rachel Cericola entitled “Retailers Comments: ‘Consumers Are Clueless About DTV Transition’ ” The level of ignorance and arrogance suggested by the responses to J Kessler’s comments (by people who claim to be tech savvy)…

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…

I don’t subscribe to Dish, but I did before I got HD service. At the time, Dish had little HD, required anntena for HD locals (my area’s reception is spotty at best for digital OTA) & wanted several hundred $$ to BUY their HD box (non-DVR at the time). Went w/ Comcast for HD and stayed for a while. Then…

@buckeye: What I do with my money is none of your concern.  I was just expressing my outrage. Not only am I pissed that something I loved was taken away from me, but I am looking at a bigger picture here.  The fact that these unique channels have been replaced with garbage channels (lesser picture quality, lesser content quality, excessive…

The Voom channels were pretty much all I watched. They were listed on the program package I signed up for so to me Dish Network is in breach of contract with me. I got the dish ultimate package versus the dish essentials just for the Rush channel. I also LOVED MHD where I could watch concerts all day long. Now…

@dxg:  you say THEY are immature.. yet they told you that they can change the lineup.. so you cancel and report yoru card stolen?  ya, thats very very mature.  you’re a shining beacon of maturity.  You complain that they add HD channels that are available on other providers? dont you think that makes sense, so people dont LEAVE them to…

The Voom channels are what made Dish Network unique.  Why didn’t they just keep the channels and ALSO add these 22 channels?  I would have gladly paid ANOTHER premium on top of the HD premium in order to continue receiving Voom channels.  I don’t care about a damn lawsuit.  What an immature reason to deprive thousands if not millions of…

Rob, Blu-ray discs ARE expensive, so yes, we’ll whine. and no, i don’t buy every DVD i watch, but i do burn the one’s i rent ;)

I really think posters on this forum who think SD-DVD upsacled is “almost as good” a Blu-Ray must have either very poor eyesight or very old, blurry displays. The difference here is gigantic. Also, what’s with whining about how much Blu-rays cost to buy?  Haven’t any of you people ever heard of rental?  You buy every film you want to…

Not sure why you disagree with me. I said I didn’t think it was a good move. However, I just think most (not all) Dish subs won’t notice. I did though!
