Thanks for the info, Stan. We called ExpressVu and were told that we
could not sign up down here in Seattle. Looks like we need to do some
more followup. However, when we checked their 19(?) HD channels we
found 10, I believe, to be east/west feeds of the major networks which
we already receive OTA here south of Seattle.
So, we're still up in the air over whether we will change to any other
service. We didn't have any BV (before VOOM) and survived. However,
will be hard to "survive" w/0 the VOOM exclusives and HBO.

this because although there is adequate signal from Nimiq-2, which is
the downlink location of the BEV HD programming, a number of
transponders on the companion Nimiq-1 satellite do not reach these
regions. This would mean that the full schedule of HD programming
would be accessible, and some of the analog programming would not be
delivered. The alternative Star Choice system has full signal access
in these regions, but subscribers have told us the BEV selection is
superior in their opinion.
