    Open Letter To Senator Boxer Regarding Dish Network & V-Chip Technology

    Scott is fully aware of my feelings of the inappropriate bullying and adolescent ganging-up mentality exhibited by some of the members and staff. Its inexcusable at times. This is what I wrote at 18:40 (06:40PM) Yesterday, May 22, 2008 (look back to page one of this post string) Here's an...

    Open Letter To Senator Boxer Regarding Dish Network & V-Chip Technology

    Look... you're right, I lost my cool. I apologized to NightRyder in a PM. I also wrote SatGuys asked to retract the post. I was a paying member years ago under a different alias, and I left because of the adolescent behavior here, I and others have been subjected to. It's clear nothing's...

    Do you agree/Disagree how Dish Network Handle the Voom Massacre?

    I, for one, found it absolutely despicable behavior. Voom was the sole reason I remained a Dish client. Contrary to what was said, I watched the majority of the Voom channels regularly - I've had Voom from the very get-go when they were a DBS provider. There were aspects of cultural niche...

    Cablevision Subsidiary Acquires Sundance Channel

    I would imagine, as Dish customers, it'll be a while before well see any new HD content from the parent company, Cablevision/Rainbow. Dish has burned some serious bridges as of late.

    Fcc Proposals Could Silence Christian Radio Stations !

    I understand what all of you are saying, but that's in your market, not necessarily else where. In mine, it's simply over saturated and there's no more spectrum available. We have universities, colleges in the area that can't apply for regular broadcast power licensing because there isn't any...

    Downgrader Warning!

    Do not, under any circumstances, accept a $5.00 down grade fee!!! Absolutely absurd!!! It's not the subscriber's fault Dish has dropped programming. I have switched to Dish's HD Only Package ($29.95 - I capture my locals off-air via 722) + HBO, Max, SHO, Starz ($31 + Max @ $0.01 per/year) + I...

    Fcc Proposals Could Silence Christian Radio Stations !

    Reality, Christian Radio has eaten up educational FM spectrum, unnecessarily. Its uncontrolled proliferation has been abused. There are no frequencies available for new radio stations in the education spectrum because of Christian Radio stations. Right now, I can find the exact same program...

    ABC-HD The Incredibles OAR. ABCFamily HD NOT??? LMAO!

    Wrote Disney 'Master Control' citing horrid feed quality... no response. My guess is their Master Control System takes all content and is pushed out of HDDs. Drive capacity, system operation requires excessive compression, hence the absolutely horrible SD quality on Disney HD. ON occasion...

    Jury Mostly Sides with NDS in Dish Hacking Case

    There was a failure to issue merits nor news/info on the ruling; static claim. There's a feeling here of 'who's first' vs supporting information. Why not just add the info instead of rebuking it? I just don't get it. The same goes to say when Scott put down and closed my posting from SkyReport...

    New Voom Channel: VMOV Channel 9475 Now Active (05/08/09)

    You're right!!! WORLD CINEMA is now absent from the line-up. WORLD CINEMA was active when VMOV channel was present for a while, but VMOV contained no active content until now. World Cinema was an absolutely essential channel for me out of the Voom package / line-up. I hope they haven't screwed...

    Now here is a read...

    I consider Voom's movie channel rotations of only 2 alternating films per/day as adequate and smart as it assures me the opportunity to record/watch sometime throughout the day. It also tends to spread the exposure of films out. I guess one of the ultimate questions; just how much TV to we...

    Now here is a read...

    They appeared to be completely unfamiliar with the news. Truthfully, I don't know if execs at Dish really understand all that is going on, given all the turbulence there; seemingly endless lists of litigation, carriage refusals, overly aggressive contract negotiations, etc... I directed...

    Do consider the following... Cablevision / Rainbow Media is Voom, AMC, IFC, and now Sundance, just to name a few of the movie channels in its folio. Most films shown on IFC and AMC are rotated through Voom. With the addition of Sundance to Rainbow Media there should be, given time, an influx of...
