I'm with ya about being pissed, there just don't give a rats a** about current customers, they just believe we will just dig into those pocket books and anna up, and most of us will, we won't be happy about it, but we will, they know we are HD junkies! S.O.B'Sgoaliebob99 said:
No prob. I'm procrastinating not doing my school hw so heres another one. This is of 3 of the new voom channels. They are on a mux on 61.5. The timeline (x axis) is about 40 seconds. Notice the variation of bitrate.
I was just gonna ask about those. I was gonna say of the new VOOM, Worldsport looked the best in quality. Familyroom looks pretty good too. I can't watch gameplay long enough to make a decision. I'm sure over the next few days we're gonna see alot of "tweaking" with voom.
Scott just posted that the Dish warehouses are confirming only 240 ViP622's in the entire country available tomorrow.

TreasureHD looks good too, but seems to have periodic breakups in picture that last just a second or two.
I haven't seen anything on ESPN2HD yet that is in HD, so I will check the baseketball game and see how it looks
Granted, all the voom don't look nearly as good as the content on UniHD that is recent.

I had no breakups on any channels, was watching Treasures like you and all I can say is that it is an old VOOM repeat. What are the odds that all the new programming is going to be old to us original VOOMERS. But they sure look good.SatinKzo said:
ESPN keeps advertising to upgrade to ESPNHD, ESPN2HD and my point of interest ABCHD. Is ABCHD going to be a separate SUB, outside HD LIL? I have not seen this add until today.
Well, from the few minutes of ESPN2HD, it looks like ESPNHD, nothing groundbreaking, but nothing disappointing.
TreasureHD breakups appear to have been temporary, haven't seen them since I posted earlier.
I am already sick of the brokeback mountain trailer (looks good PQ though) and Slither teaser on UniHD. The ads for Sleuth channel look interesting, looks like a channel I would watch.

Im just sitting here as a D* sub reading and I cant believe it! An mpeg2 feed that is somehow blocked for older recievers yet these channels are in the HD pak you are paying for??????????
How can they do that legally?

Just think of all the good will that Charlie is letting go to waste. The best advertising is word of mouth.Charlie just lost that tonight. I would have been telling all my family and friends about how good Dish was. Oh well. Guess I'll just tell them the great deal that Charlie is offerring and tell them how happy I am with it.

Technically these new channels are not in the old dish HD pack. The people that can see them have new receivers, and in order to get a new receiver you were required to pick one of the new, more expensive dishHD packages. At least thats how they explained it at CES.
Everyone who already was subbed to the old HD pack is grandfathered in and pays the old price, until they decide to change programming. No NEW subs can subscribe to the old $9.99 package.
I just read the whole thread and may have missed it, but are these true MPEG-4 or just mis-headered MPEG-2 streams?
