Let's all try to act a little adult. No one likes the idea of losing a major HD content provider, even the thought of it is demoralizing, but let's all try to have a rationale debate without involvement of personalities. Debate can be heated, compelling, and even ignore plain facts as long...

Let's clean it up guys. Please.

E's didn't work withE, so it's hard to believe.

I was told that MPEG-4 is up and working on a test channel at Voom. I was interested in the earlier announcement about WMV9, but only MPEG was addressed. I think I mentioned that the early DVRs will still have the slot for MPEG-4, but it will built into all STBs/DVRs mid year. The...

See post 22. The logistics of how DVR upgrades, dish upgrades, beyond it would make sense to have less truck rolls than one for each activity, have not been worked out.

Originally the DVR was networked via Coax, not to be confused with Ethernet Coax, for those old enough to remember it, Xerox PARC, etc. The adapter to PCs did the connection for media files etc. I know that Voom invented USB ethernet (sarcasim), but at the the rish of discussing the virtues of...

Here's a few differences: 1) Voom said repeatedly that the DVR WOULD ship in Mar. That was declaritive. Did they say for me, did they say to every current customer, did they say for which single customer? No, but the basic milestone words were not minced. 2) Echostar promised the 921...

I actually thought this was a thread about Voom vs the merits of HDMI. HDMI is a single standard replacing multiple DVI variants (I count 5) to a single consumer electronics standard digital video input. It takes a $50 connector to convert DVI to HDMI (that's a high end version of the...

I don't know what this nonsense is about not showing it to the public. They did show it to me and walked through the demo showing what was working or not. Mar was repeated repeatably :) The Ucentric guys were very proud of the state of the unit. The biggest issues now seem to be business...

Scott hope to run into you, flying in the AM.

Thanks for giving me a list to bring with me re: questions for Voom at CES. :)

It would take significant torture for me to "go back" or backwards to Dish. Though I'm not happy to get pseudo res on the HDtivo, the 921 represents my last stand on Echostar. Not only was I screwed over regarding the old HD 8VSB, then the promise unfullfilled on firewire, then a guide that's...

BravoHD became UniversalHD. Many, many, many threads.

Thread moved. Can't denigrate anyone for lkeaving. RSNs may be a dealbreaker for some. Many of us are dual or triple service holders (or even quadruple) to cover all channels and recordability options. My comcast just started copy protection which devalues it considerably. My problem...

I got an OTA problem fixed, go figure. Have you tried the professional menu to check signal strength. See the main assistrance threads for details in Voom Help Desk forum.
