Already been posted. Voom lovers want their channels back and want HD subscribers to let Dish know their feelings.

Well, this can be the thread for those who want to avoid the endless Voom whine and talk about what productive information we can get out to the Charlie Chat.

Here's hoping that day (or maybe even to tomorrow) sees the launch of a good chunk of those 20+ unlinked HD channels.

I also imagine we hear something about Voom (Charlie can spin it, but he can't really avoid it entirely), maybe the eastern arc, and Echostar 11. Also, more infomercial "buy a Slingbox/EHD/DTV Pal/TR-50" junk (although I would look forward to a DTV pal announcement on availability at national retailers).

It has become very rare that the Charlie/Tech Chats give any type of info people want. There seems to be more confusion at the end of them. The issues subscribers want addressed or try to address hardly ever get answered or even asked. There is always a stir just before a Chat but mostly nothing comes from them anymore. I learn more here than from watching the chats.

I don't even watch the chat anymore. You can get more and better information here.

The words "productive" and "Charlie" don't belong together. I hope he gets inundated with Voom questions and not much else. It's the only opportunity to possibly be heard without worrying about robot replies.

Sorry to continue whining about Voom, the fact that Voom remains the biggest topic of conversation for weeks on this board should be some indication that it goes beyond "whining."

I just DVR the chat - and FFWD through the noise to try to get some signal.

BTW, what do the oddsmakers have listed about this upcoming Charlie Chat? What's listed for odds about the CC being useful and the odds that the CC is all promotional junk?

[Jason Whiddon]

If you can still dvr it (tivo might fix that )

[Bradp56]

Dish is in big trouble, if Tivo has their way Dish will loose many customers. I loved Dish but lately I am not enjoying all their bad decisions.
