Smart Move! Bill: Smart move getting out when you did. JMD: Is that a picture of Bush? An American Patriot? Why was he too SCARED to go to Vietnam? He's what you call a Chicken Hawk. (just my opinion)

Hey, he got the satellite dirt cheap. $200 million for an up and running satellite is a STEAL!

Why Pay It?! They just cut you off at the knees!

I already have another provider, E*. No one thought Charlie was going to buy the satellite at first either. But he could get content for a song. CVC would be willing to part with it for a good price since they need to recoup some of the hundreds of millions that have gone out the door. I've...

What's important now is what happens to the programing. Echostar may now push to take over the Voom channels. This may happen now because now Ergen may be able to get them at a cheaper price since it has already been decided that Voom, as a satellite provider, will be no more. If this...

Liberals? Sorry, pal. Liberals are here to stay. Voom may be around now, but it ain't gonna last. Ergen ain't givin' back that satellite. So enjoy sorry a** Voom while you can.

Dragon, yes, they really think that losing hundreds of millions of dollars is great...as long as it's in HD!

I don't have hate for Voom, but most of you folks aren't realistic. Voom has been around for almost a year and a half, and you can't claim 50,000 subs? Sorry, But C. Dolan doesn't seem like such a genius to me. He's 2 years too soon. And BTW, in two years, e* and d* will have equal the...

more friends of Vurbano Sorry for this rant: Most of you voomers are pathetic. Once the sale of your satellite is complete, your finished. Ergan isn't gonne give it back, he needs it. THE ONLY WAY VOOM WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE IS THROUGH THE GOOD GRACES OF ECHOSTAR (as a channel...

meaning that if you get really intense rain, or even sometimes really bad cloud cover, you may lose the signal.

Rain fade

ESPNHD NBA coverage is usually sweeeeeet.

no more than 30,000 CVC is constantly aware of how many subs they have. 50,000 would mean that they had doubled their subs in just a couple of months. If that were the case, C. may have gotten a break for another quarter. I suspect they picked up a few, but lost a few as well. The masses...

Dish is the way to go Dish just bought more capacity. One telling note about Dish is that they sell HDTV packages. It seems that they are trying to get HD into more homes. I suspect that they are going to use this new capacity for mor HD. A PREDICTION: (and i've been pretty good so far)...

Vurbano, read the E* press release from the Echostar site, not the DishNetwork site. You'd be surprised at how someone is willing to email you back with an answer to a question.

Dark soon or Voom recreated My guess (and i've been pretty good so far) is that the longer that voom stays on the air, the better the chance that something is in the works for it to be sold off as a working enterprise. Scenario 2 is that RDBS maintains the rights and facilities, and converts...

Programming I know for a fact that programming was not a part of the deal. Just the satellite and uplink facility. This does not mean that there may not be a deal for programming in the future.

Slack, E* only bought the sat and uplink facilities. They did not purchase any of the content, or production capabilities of VOOM. CVC will have no interest in continuing to broadcast. The SEC may have a look at the actual sale. The FCC will also have something to do with the sale as well...

Unfortunately folks, Voom may go dark pretty damn soon. Possibly within days. Even though the sale of the satellite needs to be approved by the SEC (which it will have no problem getting - there are no competition issues here), Cablevision may want to get it shut down ASAP. If there has been...

Voom is no more.

skeeter noise is actually pixelation of the picture. this occurs when their is too much picture information for the encoder to process at one time. So, it essentially merges that part of the picture together. This can happen at every phase of production, from aquisition (shooting) to...

I'd wait a month or to see how the current situation regarding ownership works out. If a Dolan buys it, it may be worth trying it out.

We're all HD addicted when we first get Voom. Then you start to notice that you're watching the same thing over and over. And, that you can't see your favorite local sports team on the RSN. I left 2 months ago. I liked Voom quite a bit, am happy with e*. Would have been happier staying with...

Voom customers will become E* customers. And you'll finally have your DVR. Hopefully they will give you E* boxes (less buggy). (the 811 I have works pretty well.) Voom was great, glad I switched to E*.

what does the STB look like? Is there an actuall fiber connection in the home?
