    Would everything fit on AMC-6 in MPEG4?

    But, as I understand it, AMC6 is less powerful so we will need bigger dishes, is that correct? And I have seen conflicting messages here as to the location of AMC6, is it also at 61.5? If we don't need a bigger dish and AMC6 is at 61.5 could VOOM simply switch to the new Sattellite and we...

    DVD movies

    It is interesting that most movies and shows that were recorded on celuloid or similar media will be inherrently HD and fairly easily made available for HD broadcasts, however, the so-called modern technology of video-cams essentially use SDTV quality. Many daytime TV shows and series have been...

    Transition Period-Transition to What?

    The object of the statement was the sale of the satellite. The transition is concerned with the transfer of ownership from Cablevision to Echostar. During that period we will continue to receive service. There is no implication that once the transition of ownership is complete that the...

    Bay Area VOOMers?

    I'm in Sunnyvale with a multi-directional OTA antenna about 4ft above my roof. I obtain around 33 channels all at around 96% signal quality. The installer said I was in a good position to get pretty much everything around.

    Voom still advertising $1 install.

    My $1 install occurred yesterday and the installer had a full week of installations scheduled. He didn't have any insider information beyond the specualtions that we have voiced here already. But he was very optimistic.

    Why wouldn't dish keep VOOM?

    The Voom subscribers are of no value to Cablevision when they have no satellite. The value to Dish will be something like $1.5 million per month from subscriptions. It will be overwhelmingly in their best interests to retain 26000 customers from the outset and then gradually merge/hash the Dish...

    Huge new from DISH Network!!!!!!!???

    This pretty much confirms what my installer told me this evening. This also seems to make a lot of sense - for Dish to pick up an instant 26000 paying customers.

    New Install Scheduled 1/26/5 - Dish expected to pick up service?

    Installer called me this evening to see if I would accept an install earlier than planned, i.e tomorrow morning. So I asked him about the sale of the satellite and he seemed convinced that Dish will take up the service and the subscribers. He admitted he didn't know for sure of course but had...
