    Will Dish Retain the Title "HD Leader"?

    Dish and Directv premium channels I will believe this when I see it, but for right now, DISH has quite a few more premium channels than DTV just in the SD channels .. if you put the lineups side by side DTV is missing about 8 premium SD channels, and some good ones too like Showtime Beyond for...

    DTV HD Channels

    Does anyone know (or heard rumors) when Directv is going to start adding more HD channels, like Cinemax .. anything? I bought DTV just for NFL Sunday Ticket, which only some of the games are in HD. The rest of the HD offering is slim, what is it about 7 channels total? Dish has D* way...

    Star Wars Saga on CinemaxHD - Any Chance on D*?

    If Cinemax HD was on either DTV or Dish I would drop HBO totally. When is the last time D* added a bona fide big time high def channel. I still miss VOOM!!!!!

    2006 January Voom HD Originals Highlights

    Cool movie on Kung Fu today with Michelle Yeow and Cynthia Rothrock, this an early one for them, they look like they are 19. Unfortunately the PG says the movie is Yes, Madam, made in 1938 starring Bobbie Howes and Diana Churchill. I dont think these two kung fu babes were alive then. Nice...

    New DishHD Packages to be added February

    Pure and simple, I dont think the upgrade will succeed, the channels they are currently offering going live on Feb 1. are not that spectacular, especially for substandard resolution.

    KungFu HD and FilmFest HD now on Voom

    I agree, the picture quality looks like sh*t .. i miss the pq on voom so much, but what choice do we have? .. all the technology in the world and all they serve us is half-a**, it will get better over time though, i hope.

    New VOOM-15 lineup

    Kung Fu and Film Fest are now on 9479 and 9480 .. I assume the rest are on the way .. So happy to see this, what happened to Cosmos? Really hoping for a Sci Fi channel to give 122 a run for their money.

    ESPN II HD When??

    If nothing else you have to give Dish credit for one thing .. their internal information security is beyond belief .. with all the people who really want to know what is going ot happen next, programming, technology, etc .. nobody outside of E* corporate really has anything but speculation...

    Switching from Dish to Time Warner cable

    I was on TimeWarner for about a month after Voom went out .. it is not true hi def, it is the worst picture i have ever seen and their program guide and logic is a joke, i wouldn't go time warner if they gave me 2 years free. Also, their installers - ughhhh never mind.

    Voom off air early Tuesday morning

    so they are really not 'off the air' we just lose access to them? I am not that technical, any speculation on what may be going on?

    Voom off air early Tuesday morning

    All of the Voom channels were off the air again last night for about 5 - hours, the PG said "off air". I called Dish this morning - they are the lamest CSR dept i have ever encountered. Answer, "must be a problem with your satellite, and we know of no new channels being added." If you call...

    The rest of the VOOM 21 ready to be uplinked to DISH!!!!

    OK, I see the channels on the guide on http://www.dishchannelchart.com/: any idea when this maybe going live? my guess is this will be there for some type of heavy duty holiday promotion .. with a price increase for current users with some type of extra commitment in length of...

    i dont think anyone works at voom anymore. there is an old robot from one of the 1950 Outer Limits putting VHS movies in the machines .. Has anyone seen HDNEWS .. the scrolling channel lineup on the bottom has had the wrong channel number for GUY-TV for 2 months. Nice quality control, robots...

    Dish Model 811 - P2.89 Software Update

    I never turn the boxes off, maybe this is not such a good thing? My 942 has a standby/screen saver mode? Should I be turning the 811 off during the day when not in use?

    811 Favorites Becoming Corrupted?

    A fix I think - finally The only way i found to fix this is to leave OTA's out of the favorites list. Restoring to default did not clear out the corrputed files. Neither did unplugging the 811 and leaving it for an hour or two. The only thing I have found that works (finally) is to hold...

    What is up with GuyTV showing 1966 Haley Mills movies?

    Something is wrong with the programming choices, where is the Kung Fu, etc? I mean, what guy wants to watch a pre teen Haley Mills. Also, when they have been showing what says on the guide "Tiger on Beat", it is really a 1933 silent starring Marlene Dietrich. Who is minding the Voom...

    Hey Mr UpsideDown Longhorn dude .. Ask Michigan about Vince Young. He has been talking about OU ever since the RoseBowl .. this year is going to be sweet for the 'Horns. My 811 settings are good to go for the automatic update. If it happens tomorrow, that probably means UT will win. I do...
