    Now it is time to write DISH Again.

    All 10 Voom channels now on Dish Network

    With MPEG 4 on the horizon and the 600.00 to 700.00 (with tax) I have wrapped up in the 6000. I'm reluctant to get another box, just to have it go obsolete in a year. The 6000 was like 500 base price plus the two 'modules' added to the cost. Any way, I might take a check on e-bay for one.

    Where is a good place to get a 36"/1 meter dish? My problem, as many have, is rain fade or more like it rain drop out. I went and put a 24" in and my sig went from ~85 to ~92 on a clear day. I still get lots of rain fade, but not quite as bad as before. With the low elevation here (15) to...

    how is your overall satisfaction with VOOM?

    I have to say that over all I'm happy with Voom. The number of HD channels is great. And I'm pleased with the selection of HD channels Voom provides. With dish there were 3 (that I cared about). BUT - and isn't there always a 'but' in these type of things. I think that the PQ is not as good as...

    Picture Quality: VOOM vs. DIRECTV

    PQ can vary depending on the MPEG decoder chip used in the recever. I noticed, awhile back, that on D*TV that my recever's video looked differnt than a friends. They were differnt models, mine was a newer model. Mine had sharper edges, but showed a 'banding' effect when there was slight luma...
