According to the Unofficial Dish Network Channel Chart the channels are coming off of Rainbow 1. http://ekb.dbstalk.com/dishlist.htmggw2000 said:

This is a no-no as far as E* is concerned because it's costing them money to comply with the MC rule.
Maybe he can "work something out" with the installer but, to be on the safe side he may want to have someone else do the repoint later.

I saw something similar to this suggested elsewhere, but will Dish authorize the VOOM 10 when they have no record that you have a dish in that slot?
This is evidently only a suggestion for previous Dish subscribers and not for Voom or new subscribers?
Do NOT under any circumstances ask for that before the installer arrives!acousticbiker said:
Then, a green Presidential portrait worth more than 61.5 quarters just might do the trick.
Okay guys, about 3 1/2 hours CST zone, before May 1st, V Day. Any signs of E* turning the signal on for us?
I know this is a stupid question for the level of this conversation - but whats the deal with the 61.5 sat? Do I need to get a new dish? I have a 921 that was installed last december - I assumed to be able to recieve any programming but I think it just gets 119 and 110 as far as what the signal stregnth menu says. Will I get the new channels?
First, wait until E* is offering the Voom channels to existing subs. Then, call E* to have a dish installed for 61.5, and a switch to tie the two dishes together. Probably something over $100.
You will need a dish pointing @ 61.5. Do a check switch to verify if you have signal from 61.5 is you know you have the dish pointing @ 61.5.
Can I make my dish 500 point at say 119 and 61.5 instead of the current configuration of 110 and 119. I've got an 811 and a 501. All I ever watch is local ota hd, dish hd, comedy central, sci fi, and tlc.... Could I make this work without buying a new dish. Thanks in advance for the info.

What kind of sign are you looking for? When (if) someone posts that they are receiving these channels, that's the only sign that will have any meaning.
Meanwhile, current rumor is that at this time these channels will only be available to former Voom subs who move to Dish, and not current Dish subs.
I have been monitoring the Voom transponder no signal yet! When we get signal from the Voom transponders we will know who will be getting the channels. I've read that some Dish unit have the guide info for the Voom channels.
