Also, the Rush HD Web site (

) says that soccer updates will be on

starting January 5, 2006. Maybe another indication Dish will flip the switch just in time for CES.

Yeah I'm thinking about getting VOOM but waiteing on my local reseller to get the 411 in and Dish 1000's in. I just want one Dish and 1000 will be the way to go for me.

Kung Fu and Film Fest are now on 9479 and 9480 .. I assume the rest are on the way .. So happy to see this, what happened to Cosmos? Really hoping for a Sci Fi channel to give 122 a run for their money.

I expect the next live soccer broadcast from Spain (this coming weekend) will be on WorldSport!

Ok I'm thinking about getting a Dish1000 so I can get Voom so now that they add 5 more channels is it still 5 bucks extra a month??

We will find out in a couple of days.

Yeah well the Dish 1000 upgrade promo runs untill the end of the month so I hope we hear something by then. Which I sure we will here on the SatelliteGuys the Best Satellite Site on the Net!!

CosmIC HD didn't make the final cut to 15. I personally think we'll see it along with Renew, Sizzle, Coda, Torque & Lab somewhere in the future.

Slightly off topic...Is VOOM using DISH for distribution, or does it originate on C-Band/KU/??? And do ANY cable systems carry it yet? Maybe FIOS?

Just curious...seems like they intended to start programming the new channels today. Aside from the two format flips, they pulled Lab off Rave. No complaints here, but why would they do that unless the full-time Lab channel was back "on"? (Whether or not anybody can actually see it.)

One other odd bit...
www.voom.com

hasn't changed the channels or added the new ones, even though they updated for January. One interesting point...The Majestic page mentions the "From Page To Screen" festival which is going to be on Film Fest in a few weeks.
