Did I hear him say elsewhere something to the effect of "can access music (or pictures) from you PC's hard drive"? Will we be able to provide additional storage space for recording on our terabyte servers? That would be too good to be true.

Nice video, Scott! Or is this Ilya's work? This is basically the same demo I saw back in May at the HE 2004 show in New York, with a few minor added features. The big question that I'm sure is on everyone's mind is: WHEN?

BTW, I haven't been hanging around in this forum lately because I have been too busy watching the tons of HD material available to me on Voom and on my local OTA antenna. I just happened to come back because I read a rumor somewhere that Voom had added the SciFi channel, the only SD channel that...

If D*'s former success is measured by their delivery of SD LiL's, and they are planning on measuring their success in the HD market based on their SD model, then I for one have no interest in their future. D* has shown total disdain for PQ over and over again throughout the years as they upped...

Yeah, just map every channel within a 100 mile radius. That should take care of every possible scenario. :D

Wow, thanks Sean and Wasch_24...That was super quick!! :)

What good is that? Isn't that the point of channel scanning in the first place? I mean, the idea is to scan the available channels and then have them appear in your guide. I also have a rotor and point my antenna in 4 different directions (using a MyHD tuner card in my PC) to get various...

I really enjoy Voom as much as anyone here, but this situation is inexcusable! As Ilya and TvlMan correctly point out, call your credit card company, NOT VOOM, in order to straighten this out, unless your credit card company is as much of a disaster as Voom.

And if I understand correctly, the encoding process of H.264 requires a LOT more horsepower, therefore making it too slow to do in real time using current processing speeds. As such, I doubt highly that H.264 would be used for satellite transmissions, though it has been adopted as one of the...

Yes, the "card" I am talking about is an electronics card, not an access card. It has a little handle on it and a RF connector on the back panel. If it is properly installed, it needs to be WELL SEATED in the opening in the BACK (not the side) of the IRD and your antenna lead should be connected...

Please read my post way back on page 2. I have given you a step by step guide that won't take more than 5 minutes of your time and will give you the answer conclusively. That's why I mentioned using one of the strongest stations (in my guide). Although different sensitivities could be...

This problem is easy enough to troubleshoot. 1. With everything connected correctly :) , put up the guide and tune to one of the OTA channels that you normally get a very strong signal on. If your guide does not show your OTA channels correctly, then you are not properly mapped and that...

Using your version of the English language, "If the shoe fits, were it." :p

I have 2 boxes: The first never requires rebooting. The second needs to be rebooted at least once a day, and it must be unplugged. The soft reboot does not help. I figured I would just put up with the second box until the new firmware comes out to see if it helps.

Yes, it is quite incredible! But not nearly as incredible as people who believe that they can see a single dropped frame. Three frames makes sense, as I mentioned earlier that I have been able to spot as few as 3, and I consider my eyes to be at least somewhat trained. I would never say that it...
