I recently subscribed to Dish Network's satellite service due to their HD line-up. Currently, Dish Network seems to have the largest listing of HD channels. I was excited to get a chance to see some of the HD channels.

After a few days, I have become a little disappointed. Most of the Voom HD Network channels (especially Gameplay HD) don't seem to really show anything special. It seems to be simply un-narrated shots of either gameplay, land, and plenty of repeats (and to be honest, I think that each of these channels only have about twelve hours of content which is repeated daily). The HD movie channels are weak too (only showing poor, two-star or less movies).

DirecTV is asking for 100 HD channels... I'd rather see some quality HD channels before I see 100 of them. It would only take me a few days before I had already seen all of the content on these channels if they fail to display something that's original and something that's original on a regular basis.
