Can any of you ex-VOOM folks note what the content was on theses channels or did Dish change all the names?

Well, I only had Voom for a month and very rarely watched those channels. Most of the time there were movies Ive never heard of on those channels. I was watching the HBO's and SHO's in HD. I remember on "guyTV" they played robocop3 like 10 times a day haha. I liked the commercials for guyTV, they showed hot chicks pillowfighting and crap

In my opinion, they weren't worth it. They were movies that I wasn't interested in at all. I won't watch something that's uninteresting, even if it's in HD.

(Ok, I'll watch a *little* bit, but just for a few minutes, then I'll change the channel.)
