I dropped Voom for Dish this week. So I guess I'll be in this part of the forum from now on. My install is in 2 weeks so I will probably be posting my experience then.

1. They only accept credit cards as payment
2. Lots of bugs with receivers
3. Missing to many good SD channels like Sci-Fi, Tech TV, HGTV
4. Exclusive channels kept looping same material
These are the main reasons.

You'll love Dish, then. No bugs here. Everything works perfectly. If it doesn't, it's your fault!
Ya I heard there was bugs with Dish too. Though I haven't heard what they were. Could you give me a short list.
Don't mind them.... they're just cranky that we have 110+ music channels now with the Sirius additions.....
Welcome back......
Welcome back......

If you are getting anything besides the 311 & 510 the list is too long to bother with. The four HDTV channels with old movies or Discovery HD with it's 6 hour loop should be a real improvement over VOOM. What is that old saying "out of the frying pan into the fire".
I have had my 811 now for about a week and honestly the problems seem minimal to me. One thing to remember is that this is still a new technology, if you bought a cell phone in 1984 you had these same "issues" I don't think you will be too dissapointed with DISH and HD programming, getting TNT would be a big help.
I would rather watch good SD instead of crappy HD anyday. Most of their HD is converted to hd from old film which doens't even look all that great.

I earn my living by selling DISH, Directv and soon VOOM it is very hard to drop it. It is even harder to ignore the crap they pass off as quality equipment.

Oh, you mean Voom is responsible for what is on CinemaxHD, ShowHD, StarzHD, BravoHD, TMCHD, DHHD, EncoreHD, PlayboyHD - just to name a few crappy HD channels available on Voom. You sure you really prefer to watch SD over those crappy HD channels?
You guys complain when I'm in the Voom forum, no you follow me here. I don't catch a break do I?
