Fox Business HD does not show SD programming. They have been 100% HD since the launch. This of course means studio shows and not all clips.

As for CNBC. They are called CNBC HD+ for a reason. They admittedly are not really HD, rather, a wide screen channel to give more information, but with SD quality studio shows.
Your wrong. Fox Business is hardly true HD, but rather a knock-off of that CNBC+ wings crap. And I don't want to hear that they do that on purpose to get in all the financial data because that's hardly the case. They just won't broadcast 16x9 true HD, so they go with 4:3 w/ an HD wing. In contrast, all of CNN's primetime and morning show broadcast in beaufiful 16x9 1080i. I just don't watch any "HD" channels that try to pass off 4:3 w/ a HD wing.

Those wings are just screen filler and it seems many channels are following the leader, that being CNBC+.
So now we are talking about 16x9? I thought we were talking about HDTV.

HDTV broadcasts are not required to be 16x9. They are required to be a minimum of 720p, but the aspect ratio can be 4:3. Fox Business Network HD is 100% HD. CNBC HD+ is not. I never said it was 100% 16x9, and it isn't required to be. If you spent all this time thinking that if it wasn't 16x9, it automatically wasn't HD, you are mistaken. Sure, most channels take advantage of 16x9 for their HD broadcasts, but they are not required to as HD is defined.

In any event, nobody is twisting your arm and forcing you to watch Fox Business HD. If you don't like it, don't watch. I will continue to watch it, in all its HD glory.

Sounds like real bullheaded upper management. They had an all or none attitude when Dish tried to drop some of the channels, so Dish dropped them all. The logical thing to do would have been to consolidate to 3 or so channels. They could have easily been picked up by cable companies, but they demanded carriage of all the channels. No cable company in their right mind would add all those Voom channels, given the limited space and repeats on each of the Voom channels. Not now that all cable channels are slowly but surely going HD. Most subscribers would rather have the HD version of their regular channels than Voom. Voom should have consolidated. Everybody with a lick of sense was saying that.

Voom gets what they deserve, in all honesty. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21604013 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 18:39:20 EDT Re: Would You Like VOOM on FiOS? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21603788 matcarl : It no longer matters who would like to see VOOM on Fios.

They have been 100% HD since the launch. This of course means studio shows and not all clips. No news channel can control the quality of clips they are showing in a news format. For example, if I take my SD camera and videotape a cop beating up a kid, it will end up on the news. It is still an SD clip on an HD channel. Fox News and Fox Business also use local affiliates for stories. If there is a live breaking story and an SD feed, they have no control. With your mindset that they are not 100$ HD, no news channel will ever be fully HD. As long as all the shows (not on location) are in HD, they are still 100% HD channels. Fox News is not 100% HD yet. Fox Business HD is. Also, keep in mind, these channels use streaming video phones of their crew at times. Sure, it looks horrible, and always probably will. But again, that is not the actual show or studio shot.

What is this about Verizon vs Cablevision? Is Cablevision really hording their channels and not allowing FIOS TV to carry them? As if there is anybody out there that would give up on all that FIOS HD in favor of a few Rainblow channels by staying with Cablevision. Please! Does Cablevision carry all 26 HBO/MAX channels like FIOS does? That meant a lot more to me and many more viewers than did carriage of AMC, Sundance, IFC, etc.

I love Breaking Bad on AMC, but it isn't a must have. I have FIOS TV and DirecTV and yes, I would like AMC carried by one of them sooner, rather than later, but I would never go Cablevision over FIOS based on that handful of channels exclusive to Cablevision where FIOS competes. Cablevision should grow up and let FIOS carry them. Those channels are not THAT great. If there is anybody out there that would stay with Cablevision over those channels, he or she is alone or almost alone. Not enough to make a financial dent for Cablevision. They'd make more money off FIOS letting them carry them. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21598318 Wed, 17 Dec 2008 18:09:08 EDT Re: Would You Like VOOM on FiOS? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21597847 PGHammer : Did you ever watch HDNews, JeepMatt?

With more channels going either partially or completely HD (CNN HD and FNC HD still show some SD programming, as does Fox Business HD; not sure about CNBC HD+ yet), the demand (and amount of content) for all-HD news services is only going up. (Fox, of all people, is a major driver in this, as they want to go all-HD by the end of 2009, and kill their SD channels at the end of 2010.

I enjoyed them for almost three years via VOOM DBS and Dish Network. However, there are a few major obstacles preventing this from happening:

1. VOOM is suing EchoStar (aka Dish Network) for, what they claim, illegally terminating their 15-year affiliate agreeement in which VOOM was getting a 2005 "Premium" price for all 15 VOOM HD channels. Although some of us would have loved to have seen the channels sold a la carte (Monsters, WorldSport, etc.), VOOM would have been forced to offer the same terms & conditions (pricing/packaging) to Dish Network under the affiliation agreement.

2. Marketing VOOM HD a la carte, or for less than what they were charging Dish Network, would currently undermine their lawsuit against EchoStar....as far as damages are concerned. It would appear that VOOM is content with taking their chances on a big win ($$$) against E* in the courts (probably 2010).

3. Even if VOOM were willing to remarket/revamp the VOOM lineup and schlock their wares, I doubt Cablevision (owners of VOOM HD) would permit the folks at Verizon to use their own product against them - they are already having a tough enough time keeping their cable customers.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21586530 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 18:26:19 EDT Re: Would You Like VOOM on FiOS? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21586380 jammmin : According to the VOOM website, the VOOM suite of 15 HD channels are available to all cable and satellite outlets.

Whatever I'm done with that mess.

I don't understand really without researching... who wants it consolidated down and why? I briefly saw something about QAM, is vze running out of space for channels? Is there a limit on the video content they can send and how close are they if there is a limit to hitting it?

Looking the national HD channel line-up table at avsforum, there is no other major service provider carrying Voom these days other than CableVision after Dish dropped Voom. In the current economic climate, you have to wonder if Voom can survive? Maybe with a reduced set of channels?. IIRC, Dish reportedly wanted Voom to collapse to 5 channels in return for keeping them in the Dish line-up, but Voom didn't go along with that - but I may be wrong on that bit

But I do not want Verizon to take up the bandwidth with the 15 Voom channels in their current QAM only implementation.

I'm not saying I agree, but if it's HD, Verizon seems to want to add it for marketing purposes. The content providers, when they aren't the actual company selling the TV service, always try and sell every channel they own in a package. That won't change.

If Disney added a new channel for every letter in the alphabet, I guarantee that all of the major cable/satellite/fiber systems would HAVE to make room on their lineup for all of them. If advertising revenue was to be the sole money-generator for all of these channels, TV would be a lot cheaper and we would have fewer selections, albeit with much higher quality shows.
People don't watch advertising like they used to. I stopped watching commericals in 1984 when I first started time shifting my TV watching.

Every channel added costs.......and I ain't convinced that is what the public wants...more channels more cost.

However it Verizons marketing ploy to keep adding channels but they need to be paid for...plus the cost of running fiber.

Is this the market and the time to launch a HIGH cost product?

I fully expect a deal with Rainbow Media for AMC, etc. sometime, hopefully early, next year. Whether Verizon will add Voom depends on if it's interested. I'm not sure Verizon would be comfortable with the amount of bandwidth it would take to light up all the Voom channels.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21516336 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 16:46:49 EDT Re: Would You Like VOOM on FiOS? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21511587 anon : Definitely.

I had them on Dish Network and the content is excellent. My guess is Cablevision needs the distribution and money.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21511122 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:09:19 EDT Re: Would You Like VOOM on FiOS? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21511052 JohnA :
Eventually Verizon will probably end up filing an anti-trust suit against CV. They must have reasons to hold off doing it for the time being.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21511052 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:59:27 EDT Re: Would You Like VOOM on FiOS? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510785 anon : I understand that Cablevision owns VOOM Networks, as well as IFC, Sundance and AMC. I seem to remember that Liberty Media (Dish Network) also had a stake in the company (Rainbow Media). But surely Cablevision doesn't own these services so that they can simply hoard them for themselves, but rather to lease the content for profit. Understanding that this is an assumption on my part, I would think that FiOS could work a deal with Rainbow Media. Surely they'll want to for atleast the HD feeds of IFC, Sundance and AMC at some point.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510785 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:08:18 EDT Re: Would You Like VOOM on FiOS? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510606 chitchatjf : I could see no Voom in areas that COMPETE with Cablevision but in areas that do not,that may be a different story. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510606 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:35:06 EDT Re: Would You Like VOOM on FiOS? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510549 reese1 : Id love to see them added especially Monster HD but with cablevision....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510549 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:23:03 EDT Re: Would You Like VOOM on FiOS? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510525 pvcleave : I could never stand the VOOM channels. I personnaly would not want them added. I would rather see VOOM consolidate down to just a couple channels. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510525 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:19:35 EDT Re: Would You Like VOOM on FiOS? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510520 klipko : I wouldn't mind if V. added them. I'm sure VOOM wouldn't mind either since Dish drop them. It all depends on customer need and how stubborn Cablevision is (owners of VOOM).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510520 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:18:55 EDT Re: Would You Like VOOM on FiOS? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510512 keyboards : Not likely to happen. Owned by Cablevision and we all know what they will do to prevent Verizon from getting their programming.

This got me thinking about the Voom Networks, which I used to enjoy on Dish Network. I really miss the movie channels, Monsters HD, Kung Fu HD, Film Fest HD and VOOM HD Movies. If Verizon has the bandwidth, I would love to see the Voom Networks channels added to FiOS TV. So my question is, would you like to see these channels added too?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510469 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:10:10 EDT
