That's probablly the most accurate Fraudean finger slip I've ever made...I think maybe you meant kissing there cause right now it's the killing part.
That's true...their major channels are AMC, IFC, Sundance, and WE. Personally, I love AMC and will occasionally watch IFC...although I can do without Sundance and WE. Offhand, I recall VOOM owning the copyrights or broadcast licences to a number of horror films. Hmm. I guess they could be shown on WE - that channel always scares me.

Perhaps Freud would see Fraudean as another Freudian slip, too
I gotta stop posting on my mobile phone...or else get one with a full size keyboard and 21-inch monitor.

OK, I understand what a summary judgment is but after reading the filing I am not sure if the parties are asking for a summary judgment based on the merits of the case or if there is a motion for a specific issue. I guess we'll have to wait until the motions are filed and both parties respond.
Lots of activity in the VOOM vs. EchoStar case...just noticed the court posted 54 exhibits, including depositions, on their website: something like 90 e-documents are downloadable, while 25 are secure and not accessible to the public.
Both VOOM and E* and seeking summary judgment with oral arguments scheduled for July 8th.

Has anyone has time to read any of the 90+ documents posted online? They would take several days to read and analyze...and I certainly don't have time these days. Anyway, although some of the exibits there are litterally hundreds of pages posted online. For example, the Exhibit68-95 and 97 document is 551 pages long. Yikes!
There are literally 10,000+ pages of artifacts posted about this case for your reading pleasure. A few are actually quite informative - like this one.
I've glanced over several hundreds of pages of these documents. As I suspected, all the pieces to VOOM's initial assertion that E* concocted false breaches in order to illegally terminate the affiliation agreement have been validated. E*'s arguments are non-sensical and fly in the fact of contractual law. I have the feeling Dish Network customers will soon be paying for VOOM HD programming they have not and are not receiving...to go along with the $17 duo-DVR fees the customers are forking-over to pay Tivo.
Way to post just the Voom side of things.
Of course that is the reaction you would have reading the Rainbow filing. I was more interested in the emails you posted in the pub, specifically when Dish asked for an audit, and Voom protested, saying that that had always been waived. Seems to me like a guy trying to hide something.
How about in the interest of fairness posting Dish filings?
Interesting, I did enjoy several of voom channels when they were first offered, seems to me that both sides screwed up.
There are close to 500 documents posted for public viewing. You can just as easily access these documents and post them here if you wish. Why do you need me to post them for you? In fact, I'm surprised how you failed to post EchoStar's motion after complaining about my not posting it. Additionally, I posted no such emails in the pub. Once again, here is the link to access these documents: WebCivil SupremeWay to post just the Voom side of things.

Anyway, the document I originally posted accurately portrays both sides of the argument (assuming you read any the thousands of pages of legal arguments, depositions, expert testimony, financial statements, and other artifacts publically available in this case) regardless of whose side you believe. I've posted EchoStar's motion (which took less time to post than your reply) which, in my opinion, mirrors the issues being addresssed by Voom. I think most people here are smart enough to realize this is Voom's motion...and can download and read EchoStar's motion if they wish. Finally, there literally dozens of really interesting documents that are publically available but nobody seems too interested in this case since it doesn't involve Tivo..and VOOM will certainly never reappear regardless of the outcome.
Such is life...
This is the way I remembered it. The Voom channels were a nice service when there were NO other national hd channels available. Once there were more national hd content channels Voom had outlived its purpose and was taking up valuable transponder space. Especially when all they showed was the same two show or movies over and over on the same channel ALL day long. Worse eventually the content was shared on all the Voom channels and shifted from one movie channel to the next . The same two movies all day long on now all movie channels. They all took turns showing the same crap. In my opinion Voom definitely violated their agreement with DISH to add more original programming first. DISH tried to keep just the best 5 hd channels that were really watched like Monsters HD , but VOOM wouldn't hear of it. They wanted all or nothing so All channels were removed. Now I can watch some of the same Monsters hd movies on MGM , Retro, channels as well as others. I don't miss them anymore. Besides when Voom first appeared on DISH , I would of watched anything in hd because HD was new. Now I am more selective in what I watch and content is more important in my decision . I wish they would settle this and the Tivo thing and move on.
Valuable Transponder space. Taht's the ticket. Voom never lived up to it's end of the deal. Voom services were for niche audiences that may have numbered 10,000 a month. It no longer made sense for Dish to keep those channels occupying TP space when their value to Dish was nil. SO they dumped the Voom Channels.
Of course a small yet vocal minority made of of fans of these niche servics have been chriping. However as new and more popular national HD services come on line ,that chirping has gone mostly silent.
