Scott...have you heard if they will have any sort of special offer for those of us that suddenly need another dish to point to 61.5 for the Voom package?

There moving to the 110 location? Is it possible to get signal from 2 satellites at the same orbital position? I'm wondering if I can get 61.5 as well, I should be able to don't see why not but I'm thinking they're gonna install a dish 500 right next to my superdish. Theres sure some tall trees in the way though.

Does me no good, I cant see 61.5 from Snohomish, WA.

Well, there are people around that can see 61.5, but you have to have a pretty clear view that direction. I believe from here the elevation is something like 13 degrees. I tried to get VOOM in the past, and was unable to get a clear view at all.
How hard would it be to at least put them up on 148?
I agree. I'd like confirmation that R1 will move before putting it in MY dayplanner.BFG said:

Five minutes ago one CSR had no clue about the 10 HD channels and she said "they should be coming sometime in the future". And another CSR I just spoke with on the phone said that the 10 voom channels are for Voom subscribers only who are going back to using E*. The offer is NOT for current Dish costumers. What a joke!!

If I can see 61.5 from California, you can see it from Idaho. You do realize that it's not your geographic location that's important. It's the line of sight that counts. The more distant you are, the lower the elevation, and the more likely there may be a local obstruction. I have an elevation of about 16 degrees with buildings all around me. But up on the top of a three story roof, I have an unobstructed view. You will have a higher elevation, but could easily have a local obstruction. You need to do a site survey of your intended installation site. If you don't have a line of sight, you need to find a different place to live.
OK this is the most insane post I have ever read. LOL
I guess I will wait until monday to see what happens. I was told free with the HD pack and I will be able to get the channels on my dish 500..

Now how much of this thread is actually confirmed. I've read anything from only for voom customers to everyone, I've read from almost all birds, And a price from included to $15. how many people have actually heard from the horses mouth what is the truth? If its speculation then keep it to yourself we will all find out on Sunday if it comes on or not.
I personally will be ready to put up a dish for 61.5 but prolly wont till sunday afternoon if I need it.
I've been checking here almost religiously (spelling?) for the past year and have read so many different things its ridiculous. There are some people here that report what is actually going on but I've noticed there are some who just post opinion and seem to get offended when someone contradicts them.
I will still come here but have become disappointed by the lack of knowledge from some people.

The 10 channels seen in EPG of 6000/8PSK connected to 61.5 dish, reported signal level is zero. I've heard that from other reliable person.
