Maybe on Echo 3 Voom many be gone..............
Move your Dish to Echo 5 and all the Voom stations are still there.
Monster,Rave among all the others......
I was watching the stations before...........But you are right the Vooms are GONE from echo 3...
It seems that they are doing alot of moving on echo 3,I even lost my NYC HD stations......JT

OK, I'm not well versed on dish pointing etc. I have 2 dishes that are pointed in fairly opposite directions (I'm in the Tampa FL area)
How do I tell which dish is pointed at Echo 3, where do I point it to get Echo 5, and if I do aim it at 5 what channels will I lose?
Thanks

Echo 5 and echo 3 are the same.......
Echo 3 that you have,lost the Voom stations and if you were getting
Locals in HD from the satellite thats the only thing you will lose and maybe you local HD sports from Fox................

On Echo 5 I am getting all the Voom stations............
One satellite is for the east coast(echo3}
and one satellite for the west coast (echo5}
You can pickup echo 5 with your dish you have now,,,,,Your dish Its the one that is pointed the highest...............You will need it pointed down lower then the other dish you have......
Maybe they will leave the Voom stations on echo 5 since they are not putting hundreds of HD stations on it like echo 3..........

As far as I know, E* has blocked all the VOOM channels so they can't be seen by subscribers. Is your receiver legit or is it modified? I would think twice before I started moving my dish around.

Geeeeeee I cannot say lollllllll
But I do know Voom is on Echo 5 and I
was watching Rave and the Monster station before.............................
But for Echo 3,,,they have added sooooooooo many Local stations in HD...I am sure they ran out of room for the voom stations....
If you miss some of your Voom stations....
Go with Bel Express from canada and pickup most that you are missing with dishtv
and maybe you will get more HD programing from them....
