| | If they somehow include the bitstreaming of the HD audio codecs (True-HD and DTS-MA) I will damn sure cancel netflix, start getting VOD from dish, soil myself, and post the pics here.

I will definitely purchase a 1080p VOD and compare it to my BDs... I can't wait. I know it is not going to be as great as a BD, but if it is close, I would be so happy.

The upgrade activates a unique feature of the set-top boxes, improving the current standard of HD delivery used by pay-TV providers such as the ability to output 1080p programming. By early August, all DISH Network customers with MPEG-4 HD DVR receivers will have the only set-top boxes in the nation enabled to display 1080p content
| They are using the DVR's hard drives to hold/store the 1080p movie until you're ready to view it. There simply isn't the bandwidth to stream 1080p content and watch it on-the-fly.

Lack of YES will forever be a thorn in E*'s side, even beyond just the NY market.

All right....more software upgrades to possibly give us headaches.
Let's see how long it takes for everyone to start complaining that there isn't much programming being broadcast at 1080p.
By the way, this is great new for those who have 1080p sets but I surely am not going to spend my money in the near future on a new set. How many more wrinkles do we really need to see on tv personalities.

Might the return of VOOM be part of the next 50 channels?

How are they going to get to 150? Are there really 50 more channels that have HD versions?
