The real VoOm deal? Would someone be kind enough to post a link to a page that will tell me what the real story is with VoOm? Why was it removed from DISH? Any realistic hope of its return? Any chance DirecTV would pick up some of the channels? I really would like to get the real story...

DVB is like saying FM. The basic method of transmission betwen Voom, Dish, Direct, etc, are all Digital Video Broadcasts. However, the systems are NOT compatible as different algorhytms are used. As you could not use a Direct receiver to get Dish, you will not be able to use a Voom receiver to...

I noticed this tonight on a couple of VoOM channels. It happened occasionally with VoOM also. It will straighten itself out.

All on one guide. And to my surprise, I have the locals OTA in HD on their normal channels, plus the DISH feed of the locals high on the program guide. Good deal. I set up my favorites lists as: TOP 180 (most everything in English, except barker and shopper channels) TOP 120 (the ones we...

The DISH installer just left. He took down the VoOM dish as it is not compatibale with the DISH signal. Different polarity scheme requiring a DISH LNB. He put in a DISH 500 dual for 110 and 119 and a DISH 500 with only one LNB mounted for 61.5. We ran one new coax for 61.5 and used the two...

I had the same decision to make. Decided to wait, the deals will only get better in the future and I still can watch HD with my 811's. $250+another monthly fee is too steep for me.

The MODS (not to be confused with The MADS) should start this poll over, or have another poll. "Now that VoOM is gone, what changes in your programming have you made"? or some such. I originally answered I was thinking about DISH, now it's a done deal. Also, the ability to give multiple...

All OTAs working fine on VoOM STB as of 9:30 this Sunday evening. I pulled the sat feed on all the receivers before "the end". Pulled phone lines too. Called E* at 12:05Am and signed up for VoOM HD from them. $100 for the extra dish (they will be putting in two here as I am a new customer), but...

DISH = VOOM (for the most part). The choice, for me, is obviously already made!

got....to....have....my....MONSTERS-HD (and Equator, etc, etc.) A years commitment is not a big deal. It will take at least that long for DirecTv or anyone else to get their act together. In the meantime...VOOM LIVES WITH and HD-DVR...YES!!! Thank you Dish Network. I'm on board. In 12...

I just got off the phone with an intelligent Dish csr. Here's what they are offering: :) 1.Most of the Voom originals plus there 5 or so HD channels, Discover-HD, EPSN-HD, TNT-HD, etc. PLUS their Top 180 all for $46.97 a month for the first THREE months. :) :) 2.For months 4 thru 6...

Update, apparently the PG was confused by the Psycho! Still no signal on Rush, 124. Just me?

I'm receiving no sat signal at all (off the air) on channel 124. Monsters 121 was in black for quite a while this afternoon, on the air, but no programming. 121 is back but program doesn't match EPG. Just an observation. :confused: 1-800-WOW-HDTV Dish line for Voom customers STARTING May...
