When the service launches I assume it will only be available in the continental US.
Any plans to make it available to areas inside the footprint of AMC16?

As a satellite retailer, will I be able to offer it and display it in my store?
Do you have any plans of using satellite retailers to distribute your product?

I heard this question asked on the chat but the answer didn't really answer the question.

Will the ATSC tuners support VHF channels 2-13 for OTA recordings?

I heard it get avoided to. It was pretty plainly asked why the documents only show UHF and not VHF for the ATSC tuners. I don't care if the box has 3 (IIRC) ATSC tuners if they only do UHF. I'm sorry, but apart from the technical difficulties, I heard absolutely nothing new about ther service other than some integration with game systems.

Don't take me wrong, I really appreciate everyone's time, but nothing about the chat really sold me on anything. Might be something that interests others as heard on the chat there did seem to be some very interested individuals.

According to the XStreamHD website, the media server is "DLNA Certified™ v1.5" However I could find no similar such mention for the Media Receivers. Are these receivers DLNA capable, or will they only stream from a XStreamHD server?

Thanks to George for doing the interview last night. I do have 2 questions though I may have missed or was'nt discussed during the show.


1. I realize that your service sounds like it is mainly a PPV/rental/purchase service but does XStreamHD have any plans to also offer cable type programming on a monthly basis?


2. For those of us that cannot get broadband service. Could you explain if there are any limitations of features in your equipment that will not work if a customer does not have broadband Internet service available to them.

Thank You

Why can't your box recieve Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD Master audio and then send it out LPCM? The answer to that question didnt make sense to me.

Listen to last night broadcast Vurbano this was answered at length (and I think your going to like the answer)
