4CUPZ - January 21, 2009 11:59 PM (GMT)
NOW THAT VOOM HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF OF CABLEVISION
DOES FIOS HAVE ANY SIMILAR CHANNELS?
FIGURES THE CHANNELS I ENJOY GET THE AX
BUT CABLEVISION IS SAID TO BE REPLACING THEM WITH HBO/CINAMAX/SHOWTIME LIKE HD CHANNELS BUT THEY SAY FOR A PRICE
GUESS THEY'LL BE CHANGING THEIR COMMERCIALS SOON
WITH IO TV YOU GET ALL THE NO DATA AVAILABLE CHANNELS FOR FREE

They just ran Easy Money uncut in HD on VOOM.
Bastids. :angrier:
Let it to Cablevision, if they can change to make it more inconvienient for more money then they do it. I think that's their mission statement.

THE REASON VOOM WENT BOOM
Sad to say, but we sort of saw this one coming. After DISH Network decided to ditch the 15 VOOM HD channels earlier this year, it was practically a matter of time before they vanished completely without a surge in support from other providers. Today, Cablevision Systems announced that it would be pulling the final plug on the VOOM HD stations (in America, anyway) in late January. The move will also mean that an undisclosed amount of employees will be out of work, though some staff will remain on to handle international distribution. Joshua Sapan, Rainbow's chief executive, was quoted as saying the following: "It became clear that we can no longer operate Voom domestically, particularly without EchoStar fulfilling its obligations and providing its support."
Please tell us we aren't the only ones who just got a mental image of the bitter beer faceOkay, so Cablevision isn't apt to come right out and say that these newcomers are the replacements for the 15 VOOM HD networks that were marked for deletion late last year, but it may as well have. Coincidentally, 15 new high-def channels are reportedly lined up to join the Cablevision EPG in short order, though every single one is a premium movie channel. Encore HD, Starz Kids & Family HD, Starz Edge HD, HBO Signature HD, HBO Family HD, HBO Comedy HD, HBO Zone HD, HBO2 HD, HBO Latino HD, Action Max HD, More Max HD, @MAX HD, Outer MAX HD and Showtime Too HD are all expected to show up starting on January 21st, with rollouts continuing across all markets until January 23rd. We know, your first reaction is probably something along the lines of "What? All movie channels?," but at least you're getting something out of the deal -- if you opt to pay up, of course.

The only problem with FIOS is that Cablevision will NOT give Fios the MSG networks in HD.
It is their exclusivity thing for Dolan - they wont share their toys with anyone else...
BASTARDS!
