    this could hurt--if it plays out to--

    I don't feel bad for Cablevision I haven't watched AMC much since they made the change from "Classics" to the newer fare AND went to commerical breaks. Thankfully there is still TCM and FMC.

    Other Voom content - TMC-HD, MAX-HD, STARZ-HD

    Didn't E* acquire all of Voom's product including the existing facilities, equipment, PROGRAMMING, etc. They could have easily kept all 40,000 Voom subs running as was but that is not what they did and doesn't need to be part of the discussion here. My question is simple. V* was...

    Other Voom content - TMC-HD, MAX-HD, STARZ-HD

    Ok but if they are going to add the other 11 Voom channels "soon" where are they going to get bandwidth from? Seems to me it would be 61.5. Voom carried all 5 (HBO, SHO, MAX, TMC, STARZ and.....ENCORE plus the Voom 21 PLUS all the SD stuff on ONE satellite. All that bandwidth capability...

    Other Voom content - TMC-HD, MAX-HD, STARZ-HD

    Now that I am getting the Voom 10 via the Dish dedicated 61.5 dish, I was wondering why E* doesn't use the Voom sat to continue to provide TMC-HD, MAX-HD, STARZ-HD to Dish users? Doesn't all of the uplink facility and provisioning still operate? Wouldn't bandwidth be a non-issue since they...

    Problem getting 942's

    I received mine 6 days after my initial order. However it has developed a problem that will require it to be returned. I am told the replacement will take about 24-48 hours to process and I should expect it 3 days after that. This is all straight from Dish.

    Opinions wanted from those who swtiched to Dish HD Package???

    I was installed on Friday May 6th. Installer looked professional with this Dish truck and shirt, however he was really in a hurry and had to redo a number of things including bad cable crimps. He got hung up on the switch check, he must have redid connections for over an hour alone. I had...

    So, tell me about the 942 DVR

    Very cool....I have been looking into this too. I was worried about all the WIFI and phone stuff in my house. I think I will use this to reach the other sets. What model are you using? The little saucer-shaped ones? I guess we are getting off topic........

    So, tell me about the 942 DVR

    My install is today and I plan to use the TV2 connection to provide for an analog TV in my office. Since I have standard cable in the house already and each run goes to a central point in the attic, I am going to disconnect one run (where the 942 will go) from the central amplifier in the...

    DISH Network Website: VOOM COMES TO DISH NETWORK!

    I have had a interesting path to my install. I originally ordered on Friday, March 29th, just after the press release on E* pickup of the Voom10. The CSR didn't know anything about Voom pricing but I felt I could always change before the install. I have since called about 4 times, either to...

    DISH Network Website: VOOM COMES TO DISH NETWORK!

    This is the same deal I got for my install and I also agree with the pricing for the 942 lease. No fee for the 2nd dish or switch. My install is this afternoon. I do find it strange that they shipped the 942 directly to me. The installer is supposed to bring the 811s.

    Those New Dish subs who got the $100 waived, please post here and how

    Since I just plunged into the order process for E*, I am still not clear if I will be getting the locals via 61.5. I have confirmed at least 3 times that I will be getting the second dish for free. I do know that the order states that the 2nd dish be pointed to 148 but I will ask the...

    Anyone know what the real Dish/Voom deal is?

    I called the main number on Friday April 29th to call in the first time. They didn't have the $19.99 offer yet in their pricing system, but knowing that I could get them to modify it anytime before the install, I made it anyway. Since them I have been calling the 800-969-HDTV number. It...

    Anyone know what the real Dish/Voom deal is?

    The CSR told me that the order would show that the 2nd dish would be pointed to 148 but that I could have the installer point it at 61.5.

    Anyone know what the real Dish/Voom deal is?

    During the Voom shutdown watch in the chat room, my computer died (dead battery) before I could give info on the deal I received to switch to Dish.... I requested a three room setup with the HD-DVR, with the America's 180 and all HD programming including Voom 10. Simple, just give to me...

    VOOM gone OTA here

    Still have OTA on my 2 boxes. Never disconnected the coax lines to sat. Didn't have the phone lines connected since they caused lockups.

    Scrolling Message on Monsters HD

    Just saw a scrolling message during the start of "Silence of the Lambs" on MonstersHD stating that E* had agreed to carry Cinema21 starting on May 1st. It went on to say that Voom recommended that contact be made with E* to continue getting quality programming from Voom. Anyone else see...

    Cool, thanks for the specific info. I just finished the call with E* to make the change and they said I would get two 20" dishes. the primary with the LNB cluster and the second with a single LNB. the second dish was free.

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    that was the question I asked for the E* CSR and Tech Support. Neither could verify that the Voom10 would be available at a certain time. My install is set for the 6th.
