WTF? mindstein, are you talking to yourself or something? Why are people opening up old threads with new comments?

I just don't like Dish. It's too cheezy.

I watched Driftwood on World Cinema then fliped around for the final 20 minutes until the "no signal" message came on :(

TVlman, I believe that was eventually a simulcast on 148. The 148 slot is below the horizon for much of the Eastern time zone.

I figure since it is at 3am I may as well just disconnect the dish before I go to bed. I don't think I'll be in the mood to stay up and watch it go away. I'll just read about it the next morning and reconect the dish if it is reported that the 10 channels going on E* are still transmitting.

I swear Vicki has a schedule like mine. I basically retired at 25 :cool: My day at "work" is walking downstairs at 9:00am, download station programming, give instructions, walk back upstairs at 9:30am, play computer games, 11:45am walk back down stairs program the radio station and check on...

Monsters HD HD News Cinema One (one cinema channel with all the Cinema 10 movies they showed during the life of VOOM would be enough for one channel for several years) I would be happy with those 3 Here's an idea for Cinema One Saturdays & Sundays--Flipper, Thunderbirds (two episodes...

I'm waiting for the lights to go out before purchasing new equipment and sign up for a provider, although I have made up my mind as to what provider will get my business I still have only VOOM.

The problem is we are all members of Satellite Guys and there is no way to know who all that posts on the VOOM forum are indeed VOOM subscribers. However, I am willing to maintain a list, and place it where no one can get it over at jimdolansucks.com. The list would only be used to alert...

What do you mean? There are as many people on right now (264 to be exact) as there usually is when nothing major was going on. I noticed that at times of major events there would be an average of 450 viewers at a given time. There just isn't much to talk about at the moment. Just wait...

More like the first 10 years was commercial free. AMC began airing commercials 3 years ago. AMC had no problem making money when they were commercial free as they charged 25 cents per subscriber per month for every system they were on. Before they went commercial they had 75 million households...

Sean, that was the same thing I was trying to convey. Indy said he would sub to the channels even if they were in SD. If these channels were provided in SD the content isn't compelling enough to subscribe by most people. It is being in HD that makes those channels. I do agree that the channels...

Granted that the VOOM 21 look great on an analog set I wouldn't subscribe to them if they originated in SD. Yes, some of the content is "original" but much of it can be found elsewhere and the only thing making them unique was being in HD. Equator is so similar to PBS, Discovery, NGC that it...

GOOD GOD!!!! This thing is 688MB and will take 36 hours to download!!!! I think I'll only take a couple minutes of the video:)

They did have an occasional "commercial" on the movie channels. Every once in a while there was a movie trailor for new movies that would be comming out in the next couple months. I doubt Rainbow aired those for free. On some of the SD channels it was obivious they were inserting ads, mostly...

My choices were HDNews and Monsters. It is kind of hard to pick the Cinema 10 channels since they get about equal viewing here and the movies typically move from channel to channel. So if there was a couple movies I liked on Film Fest, a few weeks later they would be on another such as GuyTV or...

I've made plans, but I'm not buying any equipment until the signal goes dark.

It has always been that way even during and before the old C-Band days. Both of these channels started out as a regional pay channel (much like how HBO started) and they both wanted to maintain their regional exclusivity. I have heard that national rates for the US Hollywood movies are too...

Shane, I agree. The thing with VOOM subs is that we have a lot more disposable cash than the typical E* or D* sub. Some of us have more disposable cash than others, but as a whole we have a lot of cash to spend on high quality services. BTW my avitar is now composed of VOOM 21 channels :D

One for each month with VOOM

Why in the hell did you post your remarks in the first place? Of course people are going to comment on your remarks. If you didn't want that then you shouldn't have posted. The fault is your own. You had 3 months to inquire why you didn't get a bill. You had three months to look at your...

I agree with you Vicki. Why should he get free programming, he's one of the ones that caused VOOM's downfall. Had people actually paid their bills the losses would have been lower and VOOM would have had more of a fighting chance. We know that 40% were 3 months or more behind in paying their...

I've thought about sending my payment directly to Charles with a heartfelt letter and thank you card. At the same time send James a bag of sh*t with smashed VOOM equipment.

Yep no upgrades or downgrades after Friday afternoon. I and a few others got upgraded, but after the CSRs were told of the shutdown (I'm guessing it was around 5pm ET) there were no more program changes. I wonder if that goes for disconects? Will they actually deauthorize the unit or just...

I will be getting ExpressVu. It looks like something I will be content with and rumor is that in addition to HD versions of ABC,CBS,FOX,NBC,PBS E&W, CTV E&W, and Global E, they are going to add CBC-HD and Global W. I consider the $10/mo Canadian for the package to be really inexpensive. Yep...
