This past week, Dish Network CEO Charlie Ergen decided to yank 15 VOOM Network High Definition channels and replaced them with more recognizable channels that also needed to be in HD. However, I just spent bookoos of money to get this 42" TV and more bookoos of money to get a theatre system and had to get a new HD reciever had to commit to 6 months of HD programming from Dish Network, only to find out that only these 15 VOOM network channels, especially HD news network are the only real channels that are actually filmed with true High Definition cameras. The other so called HD channels that we are all familiar with are HD channels, but most of the time do not broadcast shows that were filmed with true High Definition channels. I want all my money back Mr. Ergen! CNN is supposedly one of the channels that was added in High Definition this week. I tuned it in and it IS NOT HD broadcasting. It actually looks worse because all they do it blow up a picture that doesn't have as many pixels in it. CNN is not using true HD cameras to record, therefore it is not an HD channel. DO NOT GET Dish Network HD programming unless you are prepared to be disappointed and cheated out of your money!
