    Voom channels at 1440??

    This has probably been answered somewhere on here, but I was wondering if the Voom channels have been switched to MPEG-4 and 1440 yet? I checked my channels today about 5 hours ago and I can't tell a difference in PQ with my 622. So far I am not blown away by the PQ on the new channels either...

    129 vs. 61.5

    I currently have a Dish 500 and a wing pointed at 61.5. I will be upgrading to a ViP 622 this Saturday, and the installer wants to reposition the wing to see 129. He said that because we live in Utah, the 129 has a strogner signal strength and the SLC locals in HD are on 129. I have had no...

    211 a DVR?

    I was under the impression that the 211 was a single tuner HD DVR, and the 622 is the dual tuner DVR. Yesterday it was pointed out to me that the 211 is not a DVR, just an MPEG-4 HD reciever. Is this true? If it is, does E* have an MPEG-4 single tuner HD DVR? One more question, what is the...

    How can I tell what is really in HD?

    I have a question for everyone. When I first got Voom (November 2004), the HD channels such as ESPN HD and Starz HD were always broadcasting an HD signal. I am assuming this because at the bottom of the screen where it has the name of the program and the channel I noticed the "HD" symbol. As of...
