E's didn't work withE, so it's hard to believe.

See post 22. The logistics of how DVR upgrades, dish upgrades, beyond it would make sense to have less truck rolls than one for each activity, have not been worked out.

Originally the DVR was networked via Coax, not to be confused with Ethernet Coax, for those old enough to remember it, Xerox PARC, etc. The adapter to PCs did the connection for media files etc. I know that Voom invented USB ethernet (sarcasim), but at the the rish of discussing the virtues of...

Here's a few differences: 1) Voom said repeatedly that the DVR WOULD ship in Mar. That was declaritive. Did they say for me, did they say to every current customer, did they say for which single customer? No, but the basic milestone words were not minced. 2) Echostar promised the 921...

I actually thought this was a thread about Voom vs the merits of HDMI. HDMI is a single standard replacing multiple DVI variants (I count 5) to a single consumer electronics standard digital video input. It takes a $50 connector to convert DVI to HDMI (that's a high end version of the...

I don't know what this nonsense is about not showing it to the public. They did show it to me and walked through the demo showing what was working or not. Mar was repeated repeatably :) The Ucentric guys were very proud of the state of the unit. The biggest issues now seem to be business...

Scott hope to run into you, flying in the AM.

Do you still have it? I think the DVHS decks aren't the highest quality & think W-VHS was even worse. What do you disagree with. I had mine for over a year and had 20+ tapes. I now have a couple hundred DVHS tapes with a slightly better sustainment strategy until recordable Blu-Ray. Are...

It was a JVC W-VHS series of decks that make the D-VHS seem to very high quality in comparison :(. Retailed 4500-6K, used 500-1500. Intended for medical and other vertical markets. High cost tapes. Nearly guarantted to to break whenever shipped.

It sounded like the media "client" modules were in 05, but maybe they meant the whole shootin' match. 160GB seems on low side, particularly if no FW.

It says record anbalog "channels" but I will bet big $s it will not record analog component hidef in. If it does I'm first in line.

I use mine still, just can't use it with Voom HD

Good idea on forum Sean. Thanks. I think we'll grow to a fevered pitch by Indian Summer. Still want to swing by Ucentric down the street for some engineering level discussions.

Yes, actually 4 tunners, 2 over the air & 2 satellite. You can view saved or live feeds on multiple TVs, bith High def or lower def.

slffl, You can go with the Tivo now & with two disks with aftermarket bracket. Have fun :)

The small clients will only connect up pictures & music in the future, but more importantly route video from a DVR or existing STB to a TV. The DVR or existing STBs can be considered "servers" in a loose construct, live or recorded from DVR or live from existing STBs. Getting around multiple...

It would get pretty legal pretty quick with those patents. Maybe Voom should patent play any source in any room, including multiple HD streams and pause and move capability ;)

Name based descriptions for shows, music, content, I only saw scheduling from the guide and of course Voom has OTA guides unlike Dish for HD. I'm sure it doesn't have season passes since that is patented, but hopefully Bob can assess. I have only been a Tivo dreamer vs convert. That said UI...

Bob, Would very much appreciate your take. The Voom Room is off the main registration area, 2nd floor, on the lobby/checkin/6th ave side of the hotel. You actually should have an easy time to see most things in a day. I was pretty deliberately focused on new video devices (wowed by...

Except from minor cosmetic differences, it is very close. I was told the unit also supported Firewire out as a "network" and that the picture/music functionality to the mini-net boxes for receivers and computers "would follow." I am glad they are not holding up the DVR for those (though they...

Well, at the Home Electronics show today I saw a real WORKING 4 tuner DVR (or so I was told). No mockups. Official announcements in a couple weeks. Stuck with end of summer ETA. Not much else (although Voom was advertised in each elevator video screen :))

Rob, You need an arrow to the aluminum tape over the firewire in your avatar ;)

Indian Summer?

Don, Can't disagree with any puts. (But I can send you a later MX-800 MXF, as I die hard Prontoite, I can say I have been happy with the 800 and happier than the 3000 or the disaterous iPronto). Late 04 is probably more prime time for Voom (and more realistic for the newer stuff). Now I...

Don, It was working as much as the award two years ago for the Dish 921, and mine is still marginally working & no OTA. That said, parts of the demo were indeed working as the clients were demonstrated live in other booths. The Voom demo was my favorite display, because even with regards to...
