Since I don't have a 61.5 at this time, I do not see the new HD channels on my guide. I checked Dish web site and the online HD guide only shows the old HD lineup. I would like to review the guide for the new channels to see the kind of programing they have before I decide if I want to subscribe. The names of the channels don't mean anything to me.

Any where I can get the current guide listing or at least a description of the channels content focus?

Zap2It is showing the Voom sat guide, so you can probably get what you are looking for on their site.

I'll have to try that too... TitanTV has the Voom lineup listed, but I couldn't find all 10 of the new channels here, maybe they had different names or Titan is out of date?

In addition to being good for the future to plan my watching... Majestic and GuyTV have been wrong about half the time today about what they said was on vs what was actually playing!

OK, I'm back...

Zap2It is definately more up to date than TitanTV was... If you select Voom programming from their list, Zap2It has the matching names for the 10 new channels.

Unfortunately... the guides there for Majestic and GuyTV are just as wrong as they are on the Dish EPG right now... so for instance Robocop 2 and Robocop 3 weren't the only movies playing today... There was some black & white modern western that had Johnnny Depp in it and also one of the Crow sequels... but they don't show up in the EPG.. Robocop 2 and 3 were on today... just not as often as it appears from the guide!

Also... I noticed earlier that Rave said there was a Jazz Expo on from 11-midnight... but unless Sheryl Crowe joined a Jazz band... her performance wasn't properly labelled in the guide either!

Voom probably made some programming changes without updating the guide.
When they sent that file they probably planned on doing the Robocop double feature all day. (One Voom channel played Fiddler on the Roof 24/7 for the past week.)

Being actually on the air and visible to subscribers probably encouraged them to make a few programming changes to make their first day on E* a better one.
