international channels will stay in operation but I wonder what will be the effects on VOOM branded channels
Equator HD Canada, Rush HD Canada & Treasure HD Canada ???

It will have a small effect on them no doubt but I don't think it will be the big because, HiFi HDTV has been aquiring programming rights from other sources such as Smithsonian and IMAX to name a few.

So we should see more reruns then? Yay. :p
Oasis is already filling their sked with 'nature' oriented movies like Twister and so on. Oasis and Equator are so much the same they should just move all Oasis programming to Equator and rename Oasis to Flicks HD and stick to movies.

hope it means they will get axed. it would be good to see those channels gone so bell can free up more space for better HD channels

I hope they stay, as I love the channels. Specially Oasis and Equator.

And on the comment above, I do feel they will stay because a lot of their programming is on Canadian Content, which I guess they are doing to attract Canadian viewers, which might not be in the case of Voom HD versions.....

I agree out of the 4 on BTV,Rogers Oasis & Equator are the best. I don't care for Treasure not into Trinkets & Bobels.

As for Rush :rolleyes: who cares for that Alternative Rock, skate boadering Skater Boy, Snow boadering,BMX'm, Surfer Dude, jet ski'ng Alternative rock Muisic Homeboy generation. :confused:

As for Oasis & Equator, Discovery Channel HD & CTV Travel, Cilivation could only dream of having that kind of programing.
