*sigh*. I forgot how bad Dish is about offering anything to existing or past customers. Out of curiosity, does DirecTV get really problamatic as an existing or previous customer when trying to get new equipment? At this rate, it might be cheeper to go DirecTV. To get the equipment I want from Dish, I'm looking at nearly $800 and a self install. Popular rumor says DirecTV is adding channels in June, and some of those might be from the Voom service.

It would be nice if Dish did the same thing T-Mobile does. I can take advantage of any new cell phone deal by simply signing up for a new contract.

Voom wise, the box is still working fine to display off the air shows. The only noticible problem is the red satellite dish icon on the front, and of course the menus and such taunting what I can no longer receive.
