This may be an old question -- forgive me, if it is...
Is anyone using Voom with Dish Network as a dual (or combined) installation?
Is anybody subscribed to both services at the same time? A recent review of my personal comparison Chart (which I mentioned in another thread here) seems to show that the $45 Dish Top 180 package, plus the $40 Voom package is only $5 more than the VaVaVoom package ($80) -- and you get a lot more stations with a lot of science, education, tech, and investment programming in the mix -- vs mostly extra movies with VaVaVoom. I guess my feeling is, if I'm willing to pay $80 for VaVaVoom, then $5 extra for the combo package might make more sense. Plus I get a lot of shows I'm more interested in while also getting a healthy dose of HD. Plus I'd get a Free DVR unit if I so choose at Dish -- but there's a $5 Monthly "programming access fee".
Has anyone tried this?
Does it require two satallite dishes?
Two controller boxes?
Two phone lines for dialing out?
For instance, the Dish Network Top 180 offer states...
a) There's a $5 equipment Lease Fee.
b) There's a $5 programming access Fee -- but I think this gets waived if you are constantly connected to the phone line.
But what is the purpose of that "programming access fee"?
And can both the Dish and Voom units be connected on the same line?
Thanks,
Guy
