    Do you have HD in you HT....read this!

    I have gotten quite "spoiled" with HD content. Have you? Here is some REALLY GOOD news for those of us viewing HD! I have VOOM now with 10channels, but 11 additional VOOM channels have been authorized to crank-up in the next couple months!

    Are there enough content to fill out those extra 11 HD channels?

    "Voom has been banking content in anticipation of the larger deployment. The perception of a dearth of programming has dogged Voom since its early days, when it offered fewer than 1,000 hours of content and subscribers saw endless repeats. Today Voom offers roughly 3,000 hours of native HD content. It will add between 1,000 and 1,500 hours of new content in 2006, Voom co-general manager Greg Moyer says. Voom's 21 channels range from extreme sports and fashion to art and movies. Voom aims to offer something for everyone: concerts on Rave HD, art and museum tours on Gallery HD, exploration and nature on Equator HD and extreme sports on Rush HD. Plans for HD News call for 20 minutes of coverage hourly, up from 12."-http://www.cableworld.com/cgi/cw/show_mag.cgi?pub=cw&mon=102405&file=insidethenew.htm

    So....we'll see. For $5 per month, I'm getting my money's worth with only the 10 channels they are transmitting now, and with the other 11 channels (at no additional charge!) in the next couple month, life should be good!~

    Man I'm kicking myself for missing out on the "Fashion Runway Channel" in HD.

    But seriously...I notice it has a Kung Fu HD channel...how much better do those old kung fu movies from the 60's/70's look in HD?
