VOOM
Due to financial difficulties, VOOM satellite TV is no longer an independent entity.
Portions of VOOM's HD lineup are currently available to Dish Network HD subscribers.
When VOOM first launched it carved out a niche for itself by offering more high-definition programming
than its competitors -- the service originally offered 28+ high definition channels and 42 standard channels,
giving subscribers access to the largest available lineup of high definition entertainment.
Financial difficulties forced Voom to suspend service, but portions of Voom's HD lineup are now available
at an extra cost to Dish Network subscribers. The twelve available channels include HD News, RAVE HD,
Film Fest, and a dedicated animation channel.
Since Voom is now provided through Dish Network, local channels are available in many markets for $5.99 a month.
