[goaliebob99]

This is big or its nothing..

9485 GAMPLAY HAS HD INFO IN THE EPG among others Heres the screen shots!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VOOM IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[goaliebob99]

These channels are still not avabile to subs. (can any verify the content on these channels)

 

[Brewer4]

Neat

 

[Sean Mota]

Very neat!!! Where's Hookiengineer??? maybe he can verify the content...

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Cool find Bob.

I just figured how to setup TSREADER with my FTA card (now I need to figure out how to get it to work with my DIshPro Plus switch)

But I did manage to grab this which includes the program guide info for a bunch of the HD channels.

 

[T2k]

Cooooooooooooooooooooooooollllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :up

 

[JamesJ]

now I am excited, if only my 411 would get here, oh wait thats right Dishnetwork sent me a 811 to upgrade my 811!!!! GRRRRRR........ cant wait to get these channels!

 

[Ilya]

Great!!! Can't wait for all these to go live!

 

[Ilya]

So, once again, the new upcoming VOOM channels seem to be:

9473 TRESR: Treasure HD (Auctions, collector items)
9475 WORLD: WorldCinema HD (Foreign movies)
9477 WSPOR: WorldSport HD (Soccer, basketball, and other sports from around the world)
9485 GAMEP: GamePlay HD (Cyber Games)
9486 FAMLY: FamilyRoom HD (Family movies)​

 

[Sean Mota]

Actually there is only one that we haven't seen before ---GamePlay HD. The others are new to Dish Network customers but not new to former Voom DBS customers. I really hope that Family HD gets more content and just does not become the flipper HD channel 24/7.

 

[Ilya]

Now that I have a DVR, I can't wait for the WorldCinema channel!
I just wish the Hard Drive in my 942 was 10 times bigger!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Looking at the EPG for Gameplay, lets hope they have more content then what is listed in the guide.

For now it ppears to be a loop which repeats every 2 hours.

Here is what it lists...

UBISOFT - Series/Special. (2005) Ubisoft's newest and hottest video games
Cyber Games - World Cyber Games Series/Special. (2005)

Then it repeats over and over again.

As I said lets just hope this is not the real schedule.

Nice 44 hour EPG readout Scott. Your Swapfile is probably quite large at this point. BTW: TSReader will also read the 9 day EPG. You have to change a registry value. I beleive it is covered in the documentation. It takes a while to download the 9 day though.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I was only running TS Reader for about 10 minutes when I took that screen shot.

I actually never used TS Reader before.

Can anyone recommend someplace where I can read about how to use this program?

I know of some of what I am seeing, but for the most part its greek to me.

 

[goaliebob99]

mine was a 30 second screenshot I learned by playing around... I havent gotten to the documentation yet

 

[Gary Murrell]

Please dear Lord give us 1920x1080i HD on these channels, if not they are stillborn to me

-Gary

 

[DWS44]

For now it ppears to be a loop which repeats every 2 hours.

Well...I guess that confirms it... With only a 2 hour loop, Gameplay is officially a VOOM channel!

 

[gdarwin]

When does this start showing up on our STB's?

 

[goaliebob99]

when dish releases them to the general public. when we say its not avabile to subscribers that means that you wont see it on your box most likely some time nextweek

 

[BrettTRay]

I would be jumping with joy if these were 1920x1080i but knowing there going to be HD Lite I'm like WTF.
