I like the part where they recommend a standard definition channel to replace Monsters HD. Thanks guys.
Also: "DISH Network understands it may feel like DISH is removing your favorite programming" - It not only FEELS like you are, you actually HAVE removed them.
Even better is the fact that EchoStar owns VOOM's satellite.
This is why we can't have nice things.

Dish Network drops VOOM HD

Bullshit.

Dear Dish Network,
Why have you removed the VOOM Channels from the HD lineup? Those channels were one of the primary reasons we upgraded to your HD package. While they had their problems - mainly a seemingly small selection of programming at any given time - they were the channels I watched most. Many of your other "HD" channels merely stretched standard 4x3 programming to fill the 16x9 frame, or just crop the tops and bottoms of 4x3 shows. Now I see there are more sports channels (including Tennis and Golf channels?) - which I'm not interested in - and a Weather Channel HD...but Monsters HD, Kung Fu HD, and Rave are not popular? And The Fishing Network? Really? Please re-instate the VOOM channels.
