Well, I hooked up my old Dish 6000 receiver so that I could sign up for Dish basic service, and view the Voom channels until my install on May 10th. They show up in the guide fine, but the problem came when I tried to call in to activate the receiver. They said they show a pending install order already in their system for my address, and they can't activate a receiver with a pending install. The only way to activate it is to cancel the pending install, and if I cancel and activate my receiver, I am no longer eligable for the new customer promotion. So, I guess I'm SOL on receiving the Voom channels until May 10th.
You'd think they would like extra revenue anywhere they could get it, but I guess not.
