    VOOM is AMAZING!!!!

    Voom on Computer Monitor - Marketing opportunity HDTV on a full bandwidth computer monitor is a secret waiting to be shared. My Sony 23" has 2 DVI connectors. When I'm rebooting, waiting for downloads, or finding a story or program via Internet, I simply switch the monitor to Input 2 and Voom...

    TV set Resolution - Diminishing returns?

    I have Voom on my computer monitor, which is a 23" LCD 16:9 with a ridiculously high resolution of 1920 x 1200 which is made good use of for computer work. There are dual DVI inputs, and Voom is on the second. My Voom looks breathtaking! My jaw always drops when full HD comes on...

    New Software Coming Or Not?

    I hope they totally revamped it. Give a new programmer a try at it. No need to maintain compatibility and keep doing things the same awkward way. For example, setting/accessing favorites... and the myriad of other user-hostile mechanisms. The learning curve for a properly designed Video User...

    should I get Voom Or wait a while longer?

    Get Voom immediately! OK, only on one set because of cost. You can terminate at any time, installation is free, and definitely rent the box for $10/month (obsolete way before break even). HD BREATHTAKINGLY BLOWS AWAY ANYTHING NOT HD, even DVDs. It's like: You own 5 Ferrari's, but have never...

    Voom Networked Home Solution and Voom's DVR

    Purpose of phone line? Although my Voom box is near both an Internet and phoneline connections, it was installed connected to neither. What are these STB jacks used for? Are they only for linking multiple boxes? Tnx. I tried looking in the detailed Motorola receiver manual but, oops...

    UPDATED 20 May NYC Home Ent Show:Voom at CES was best display/information of the show

    Both the Ucentric (Voom's) and the 2wire.com screen shots look like Windows XP Media edition DVR/Guide/UI I have in my HP computer. The software is real easy to use, and with the exception of not being able to burn to DVD and of course not having HD capability its pretty good. The Voom DVR...

    What would you pay for VOOM DVR?

    I think $14.95/mo with 2-year VaVaVoom commitment is an excellent deal. DVR is a VaVaVoom enabler for me; it makes much better use of the extra channels if you can see stuff when you want. You should lease the equipment anyway. Technology is moving increasingly fast - in 2 years you'll want...

    [VOOM] Equator HD

    Terrific. Love EquatorHD. How about some NASA HD (like IMAX Spacestation), or underwater HD, or in an F-14!

    New Equator HD channel feedback

    Truly breathtaking. Like a hot-air balloon trip and in many ways better. I would love to have a collection EquatorHD mini-trips. This will probably be my reason for getting Voom DVR. When I show friends my Voom (on a my Sony 1920x1200 23" which I love!), it would be great to show them some...
