Looks like it might be time to archive this forum along with the Voom forum...

I was never sold on the XStreamHD idea, but it's a little premature to move it to the SatGuys Archive. However, I think it will happen by the end of 2011. We shall see...

The idea was wayyyy too late, IMO

No way. They don't offer anything new now. You can get the same thing they were offering from many other sources now (that most of us already have in our houses) with much much lower upfront cost. This idea was great and if it actually came out 3 years ago they could have made some money and they could have evolved along with the industry. Now the industry has passed them by.

I certainly don't disagree...I'm just saying it's premature to move the Forum over the SatelliteGuys Archive, although I can hear Susan Boyle warming up in the background. Originally Posted by lakebum431

I thought I replied to this post the other day but I must not have clicked on submit. (Doh)
The forum will remain, it will be interesting to see what XStreamHD comes up with at CES this year to keep itself in the limelight.
They were ready to go and launch but then they found an issue in their receiver at FCC testing that could cause interference on some electronics devices. They wanted their product to be prefect so they elected to fix the problem.
The folks at XStreamHD are good people and we wish them nothing but the best and look forward to seeing what they have for us at CES.

Maybe they will surprise us all at CES.Receivers - 922, 722k with sling adapter, 211k,

It would help if the XStreamHD Guy would be here more often to answer and questions and give updates, but I guess there really is not much to talk about anyway.
