GalleryHD is true 1920x1080i HD right now!!

I see a light at the end of the tunnel, just maybe

Woohoo! Maybe someone snuck in and reprogrammed all their encoders as a joke

.

With that, I am off to bed. Maybe they'll have some more fun for us in store tomorrow night

Now damnit, I am on the verge on cancelling my contract with DirecTV and get Dish for the Voom. I missed my Voom and very seriously considering paying to cancel my contract and have the Dish/Voom put in. Any suggestions at this time?

HokieEngineer,

All your pictures came with a resolution 1114x631, I don't see any difference.
Could you next time provide at least satellite position to your reports ?

Wait just a little while and see what gives with Voom, if they are not HD-Lite then poor it on it, you will be amazed at the difference of HD between Dish and Directv

As others have noted when viewing, this happened before 5 hours ago.

Sorry you couldn't tell when you were viewing HDLITE on EquatorHD yesterday evening Gary.

The title of this thread really had my blood boiling when I first read it - I woke up completely without a cup of coffee. Let's just hope E* and V* come to their collectively senses and don't follow down the path of HD-Lite blazed by D*.

The quality is clearly not up to par, I was watching a Soccer game this morning and it looked not clear at all. Please go back to the original resolution.

Just a update guys

Everything is still basically the same after the change

GalleryHD is 1920x1080i with 14 Mbps Video for some reason

check that channel out and see what you think

I have updated my bitrate chart for all these changes last night:

I only have access to Voom from 61.5 on my pc setup, if anyone could confirm that the Voom 10 are identical on 129 then that would be great ??

I'll I have to say is that this sucks if we are seeing the future of Voom

I also emailed Dish quality to complain

I really haven't noticed anything in the picture quality with Voom at 129. They still look the same to me but if they are messing with the channels at 61.5, 129 is next. This really sucks!
