JERICHO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 2005--
Rainbow Media Holdings LLC:
-- Greg Moyer and Nora Ryan Named Co-General Managers of VOOM 21
HD Originals
-- VOOM HD originals will appear on DISH Network
Rainbow Media Holdings LLC today announced that it will operate
and launch the VOOM 21 HD Originals, an innovative suite of 21
high-definition channels, for distribution to cable operators and
satellite TV providers. Rainbow also announced today that it has
concluded its first major carriage agreement for the channels with
EchoStar Communications Corporation, which will carry ten of the HD
channels on its DISH Network, expanding to carry all 21 channels by
2006. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Rainbow Media CEO Joshua Sapan stated: "Throughout its history,
Rainbow has been at the forefront of innovation in television
programming, from cable to VOD and now HD, creating and developing
highly successful networks that deliver compelling programming to
targeted audiences. Signing our first distribution agreement with
EchoStar validates our long-held confidence in the business
opportunities inherent in the growing consumer demand for quality
high-definition programming. We believe that these channels represent
a vital and viable new business for Rainbow Media and its distribution
partners."
Rainbow Media has a rich history of "firsts" in creating
groundbreaking original content for a wide variety of consumer
interests and a number of different platforms. Rainbow created some of
the nation's first regional sports channels, with MSG Network and the
Fox Sports Net regionals; the first regional news channel with News12;
the first arts and entertainment network with Bravo; and the first
classic movie channel with American Movie Classics. Rainbow developed
Mag Rack, the first VOD service with original programming and was the
first to deliver sports programming in high definition on its MSG
Network.
As part of today's announcement, Nora Ryan and Greg Moyer have
been named co-general managers of the VOOM 21 HD Originals. Ms. Ryan
and Mr. Moyer have both been overseeing the management and development
of the 21 channels and their content over the past year. Gregg Hill,
president of Rainbow Network Sales, will now direct the positioning
and sales of the HD networks as new, valuable and unique product for
Rainbow, specifically designed for the growing HD audience.
"Once again, Rainbow is proactively addressing a growing viewing
need within the marketplace," stated Mr. Hill. "From a sales
standpoint, we are very excited about the potential of today's
announcement. Consumers now demand content that maximizes the HD
viewing experience and Rainbow will be the only content provider in
the market filling this lucrative void. VOOM 21 HD Originals will also
serve our television partners with great value as Rainbow now provides
them with one-stop shopping for the best content on the cable, VOD and
HD tiers."

Well, I for one am canceling my Voom service from E*, until they launch the Voom21.. I have seen the same concerts, Red Bull events, and horror flics over and over for the last few weeks.. until they start adding some content to their existing 10, and include the other 11, sorry E*, but you dont get my $5/mo 
My HDTV took its last broadcast at the end of April when Voom died. Sadly I sold the antenna and the stb. No service out there is worth the money, and Voom in its original 21 channel format was worth twice the price compared to what's available now.ultatryon said:Well, I for one am canceling my Voom service from E*, until they launch the Voom21..

If I had signed up with Dish I would be right where ultratryon is now.
Come on, providers. Let's have another class act like Voom!

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
I went into the Tools menu and requested a Guide Update. I'll try looking at it after the update completes.
edit — I now have the 148-01 4KFox events for Saturday, but not anything for 148-02 or 148-03 which don't even show as available channels. I do have 148-04 4KUSA.
As I recall you have the Flex package. Do you sub to multisport? -02 is FS1 and -03 is ESPN. -01 is Fox so you would get that if you sub to locals.Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.

On Tuesday, I recorded the first episodes of the new season's NCIS shows on CBS (Dish provided, not OTA). The new New York series and Origins will both do Auto Skip, but the original, now season 24 does not. What's stranger, when I do a search for NCIS, Origins and New York show the current recording and the next episode it will record, but the original show only shows the current recording and some other channel showing the very first episode of season one. It makes no sense. When I set up the timers, I was able to use search for Origins and New York, but for the original, I had to scroll ahead in the guide until last Tuesday when the show was airing. Then set the timer from there. You can see its timer type is DVR where the other two are Seek. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Thanks!

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
As I said above, and, FWIW, I run Win11 Pro and Arch on separate 250 GB NVME drives, using F8 to select which I boot to, with a 1TB SSD for storage, accessible to both OSs and a third formatted Nvme I want to use to learn Kali. It was much faster to setup Arch than it was to strip down Windows. Windows still takes much longer to boot.
