Ahh, I misread you.

But yeah, again, you and I, and the members here are "In the Know".

The avg customer isnt.

Its the old Chewbacca defense.

What looks like a real good deal now is the HD only package. You get ALL of the HD channels for just $29.99. I hardly ever watch the SD channels in my 100 package, so I'm paying extra for channels I don't watch.

I think some of you sumarize this very well - this is not over. This just started. Time will tell whether E* made a good move or a bad one.

The voom channels are still up there on the satellite, just not in the information tables. This appears to be a strong-arm move by Dish against Voom Networks.

Here I was thinking that Dish was doing something right......For about 12 hours I did.

Then they pull the rug from under us.

Thanks hokie for this information... This is getting better and better. This is a war between E* and RM.

That was my first though last night when when E* website changed. Scare tactic.

I wonder too then since they are still up there, will they alternate VOOM channels every so often???

They kept the three I watched themost ... Rave, Equator, and Monsters. The only other ones I will miss are HD News and Treasure ... but Treasure was almost all repeats.
