I can actually now get one more OTA channel. My local PBS which the VOOM receiver has been able to get, then not get, then get, then not get (with each software update) is now back.

Don't forget if you want to get HBO-HD and SHO-HD via DISH also, you need to subscribe to the HBO and SHO packages. That's an additional $22.99.

This is great news, but unmotivating for me. All I want back is Starz-HD, Max-HD and TMC-HD. (And of course the long-dead Encore-HD) These were my favorite four channels on the whole VOOM roster. Why won't anyone else pick these up?

I am not vouching that the e-mail post is authentic or fraud, but the To: and From: names are in quotes, that indicates to me that this is how the names are entered in the posters Address Book for the actual e-mail addresses. So the From and To lines, IMO, do not indicate if this is real or fake.

I think the "or something" add-on is a sales move, a subtle way to belittle voom, making voom seem like nothing more than a fly in a lion's den.

That last quote by Malone in the article combined with recent articles/news about Echostar talks seems to indicate to me that DISH network offering a VOOM package or tier may be highly likely.

CNBC has a live reporter camped outside the building in Florida where the CVC board meeting is taking place. It's a good bet there will be some info this evening.

Meeting is expected to conclude around 3pm or 4pm EST. Other than that, there was nothing new I learned from this report.

Board meeting expected to start at 12:30PM EST in florida.

Yeah poor James, he'll have to step down and "slum" it as an out-of-work millionaire.

Ahhh EncoreHD West, we hardly knew ya.

This entire saga is but a grain of sand in the hour-glass of a long-term business. It might also be the big grain that clogs it. The existing customers are very loyal. The disappointed subs already dropped the service months ago. I think even if the entire service shut down for as much as 3...

The subscriber count also nearly doubled in one quarter, right? If it takes 7 quarters to get to 26,000 and then just one more to get to 46,000 subs... Could we be seeing the transition from the lag period to the accelerated growth period? I know this is a stretch, but if the sub base continues...
