Absolutely, that's why i been reading all the posts for more info. I think I have made my decision. Thank you much though and thanks for the welcome. glad to be on here.
Here , Here I totally agree with you Sean.. I too stopped posting over there on the VOOM posts because it's the same old people saying the same old uneducated and speculative things.. ans sometimes they are down right mean about it.. Like they are the HD GODS or something, Thanks for all your help...vurbano said:
From reading the press release posted today on AVS I see no mention of a HD DVR in Voom's announced growth plans. So does this mean the DVR displayed in their CES booth is nothing more than a concept mock-up with no functional use other than set dressing? I posted this earlier on this thread and I believe someone deleted the post. So let's see if I get censored once again.

DirecTV just announced that they are working with Ucentric on a whole-house DVR. The audio update when I logged in here said the Voom press conference was cancelled? Has D* scooped Voom's DVR partner?

So much for those "insiders" that were saying that Ucentric was dead in the water. How about that for a laugh? Nope. They also have cable companies as partners as well. Good for Ucentric.
Does it mean that HD-TiVo will be useless when D* migrate to Mpeg4? Wow, poor people who pay 1000 grants for it. I guess D* will give them the option of a new (Ucentric?) MPEG4 DVR upgrade for another 1000 grants. LOLvurbano said:

It means TIVO as a company is done! If you have anything invested on Tivo, now is the time to sell it. It looks like D* is saying its final farewell to Tivo. Sorry for those that invested on a $1K Tivo and $1K 921. One learns the hard way, the only way to get these DVRs (no matter what company it is) is to lease since technology changes by the minute.
P.S. this is just an opinion.
Wow this is exciting stuff. This CES show is like waiting in the delivery room for a baby to be born.
Yes I totally agree on the lease scheme. It's a stupid idea to invest in company-tied and technology at release equipment unless you'll be able to sell it.
The release on the 942 showed no indication of a lease program, just $749. So they aren't ready to lease that expensive hardware yet.
Hopefully Voom will pull through with a lease of their DVR.
And haha to the D* people that thought E* was alone with a encoding upgrade and killing old boxes. Basically every company will be upgrading to new formats in the year ahead.
