The last word was E* and RainbowDBS asking the FCC "can we speed this up a little" on May 9th ... JL

What Charlie Chat YESTERDAY??? JL

But what about purchased receivers? There was "no word" on those yet. :D JL

Uh 'no word on purchased receivers' ? Are those not already owned by the customer? Leased receivers now belong to the customer but not purchased receivers? Reading with one's brain engagaged makes your statement very silly, spahoose. Please authenticate the information with a link. JL

Which forum are you going to mail yourself to? :D JL

Not exactly. The 57 million dollar cost was for ALL discontinued operations, including the "Fox Sports Network" channels. JL

It appears that the association really doesn't care about DBS competition. They have proved themselves shills for Voom HD LLC. (The original association, not the Sat Guy members who joined after the March 28th filing and had no say in the association's actions.) JL

If we want to give YOU a referal credit. The direct homepage link already given works fine. JL

If you have subscribed to E*'s locals (now available in 157? markets) some of those markets are served via 105 or 121. If your market is on one of those satellites you will need a SuperDish to get your local stations via satellite. If you don't subscribe to locals or your market's locals are not...

Welcome to E* - home of the AEP - Almost Everything Pack JL

HD penetration has only reached 4 million homes (March 2005). source Read more than the headline ... the 10 million is worldwide. :D Mr Swann fails on the facts, again. JL

Right here The "Got HD?" report that was spread around at the end of March. My emphasis below ... SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 28, 2005 - As of March 2005, 10 million homes around the world were watching HDTV programming on a high-definition TV set. By the end of 2005, the worldwide total of...

Except it should be "3,960,000 bozos". :D JL

Actually 10 million HDTV homes worldwide, with only 4 million in the US. Go back to your source figures and read closer. :D Last March (2004) there were 1.5 million US homes with HDTV. It was a good year for growth - for the HDTV marketplace. JL

MPEG4 is an encryption technology, much like MPEG2 but better (twice as much content in the same space). The 942 is a receiver. It, like all other E* receivers on the market, uses the MPEG2 compression format. In the fall E* will release MPEG4 receivers. None are available at this time...

I hope E* puts the "Voom Conversion Center" out of business. They should sue them for false representation! JL

I don't believe anyone "knows". We "knew" a lot about HDTV at 105 until E* tested the satellite and decided to go with what they do today (national HD at 110, CBS HD at 61.5 and 148). E* carrying Voom at 61.5 is a new challenge, and not one that was planned as much as a month ago. Will E*...

It really means nothing other than at the time it was written V* expects that E* will carry all 21 at some point in the future. It isn't a guarantee. "by 2006" seems to set 2006 as a deadline "by the end of 2006" would be 'no later than the end of 2006' "in 2006" would say that they are...

And I thought that Voom had 21 original channels. :D First 10 Voom channels now on Dish Network ? JL

When reporting loss of OTA it would help if certain details were included. 1) leased or owned receiver 2) all receivers in house or just one/some 3) any wiring changes that could have killed your antenna As predicted, we are getting conflicting information about OTA -- it would be nice to...

Yes, but not pointed in the direction you need to leave it in to continue to receive the rest of your programming. :D A properly pointed SuperDish will allow you to receive 119, 110 and *either* 105 or 121 depending on the type of SuperDish. (The one in my avitar is a 105.) 61.5 can be...

946? Try 942 ... :D Current E* HD Receivers - 811, 921, 942 Historical - 6000 JL

Voom was at 61.5 (orbital location). The only other content there is: Dish Network: mainly international channels and locals (and now Voom) SkyAngel: religious The nearest DBS slot to 61.5 is way to the west at 101 (orbital) for DirecTV. Keep moving west and you will run in to Dish's main...

Congrats and welcome back to Voom. :D BTW: Are you getting the other E* channels at 61.5 in your guide? (Internationals at 580+, PIs including 9405 The Pentagon Channel) JL
