    OTA and Voom Receivers

    A open letter to NBC regarding their coverage of the 2004 Athens Olympics in HD

    Technical stuff on Local reception using the Voom receiver.

    Inside the VOOM Box!

    Well here is the prelim stuff from the inside of the VOOM Box, to begin with it is very very close to the star choice DSR500, other then the added expansion slot which turns out to be a PCMCIA footprint with a extra long slide and a riser board to connect the 8VSB module(s). Also like the...
