I'm a long time Dish subscriber and upgraded to HD in 2006 (a 622). My first dish setup was a self-install kit in a box I bought at Ultimate Electronics in the 90s.
I do watch several VOOM channels, mostly Equator and Rave with an occasional movie from one of the others. While I like the programming, it is is frustrating how long you have to wait for new shows.
On a somewhat related note, after reading through most of this thread, I tried to watch a bit of Gallery and Treasure, as I hadn't watched them at all. "The List!", linked at the top of the page, shows them at 9472 and 9473 and availble, but I can't tune to them and they don't show up in any of my lists, including "All Channels", "All Sub" and "All HD", which aren't user editable. Are they really there and, if so, why aren't they showing up in my guide or in my channel lists?
