Voom's Oasis-HD & Treasure-HD at ExpressVu !!!!!!!

[pro96]

Looks like ExpressVu is getting some Voom channels in their lineup according to Lyngsat. My 6100 does not show this channels in the guide, so maybe is in the works.

So far Lyngsat shows 2 Voom channels at 82w in transponder 17

845 - TreasureHD
846 - OasisHD


I'm glad I got ExpressVu, just waiting on when they will be available to sub. :

If you watch the VuHD promo channel, the channel logos appear there as well (when it says the "Most HD channels"). A little premature but I guess they're coming!

Someone posted the filings with the Government - and they looked like similar names - but clearly not the Voom channels as they noted they would highlight Canadian material.

I have expressvu and hd, not seeing these in the guide.

Do I have to reboot the dvr (9200)? If so, how?

-edit- I can manually go to the channels, but they are not in the guide. I even tried to force the guide to reload.

Anyway, TreasureHD IS a voom channel, right down to the logo.

OasisHD is a canadian channel.

-edit- Favorites channel guide brain farts. Nevermind!

Working fine here in SoCal. Bell, bring em on!! (rest of Voom )

Very strange considering that Voom said they WOULD NOT sell individual channels to distributors - it was the entire package or nothing.

I also wonder what's up with the FREE PREVIEW thing?

They intend to charge for these 2 channels

Bev did this with RaptorsHD as well, they gave a free preview until January something then after that it was included in one of your sports packs I think. I would assume that these two channels will be included into the HD pack that already exists, that is unless they start bringing in more Voom content. From what I have seen though only treasureHD is a Voom channel oasisHD is not. They look like pretty good channels so far, OasisHD has some pretty nice views.

My guide does not have these channels (845, 846), and I can't tune either. Entering 845 with the remote causes the receiver to tune to 849 (which is the next available channel I guess).

I have the HDTV package. My receiver is the 6100. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Also, what are channels 840 (M-HD) and 841 (MC-HD)?, they appear in red on the guide.
