    New Software version 7.37

    This is absolutely not true. My home theater Voom box is left on all the time so that my tivo can change channels on it to record scheduled shows. I have gotten several updates to this Voom box without ever having it in standby.

    Motorola VOOM STB Program Channel Paradigm Issues

    I'm a professional computer programmer. I find that the behavior you are theorizing about from programmers, taking shortcuts instead of programming in adaptability, and expandability, is typical of the people I work with. It is brought on by schedulre pressures, varying degrees of skill among...

    Fox Sports FL and Sunshine Network are working

    trouble is, if this is a florida only channel, someone forgot to tell tivo and their guide service. It just got added as a new channel on my tivo box, but I don't pick it up on the voom stb here in PA. :(

    Voom Listings now availabe on TitanTV!

    I don't check often enough to know if they are accurate, but they have been up for a while. And, they list my local digital OTA's correctly for voom. I wish tivo would get their guide info here so I could use Season Pass on the Digital OTA's coming through the voom stb. I've currently...

    WMV9 (VC-1) delayed as SMPTE Standard, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC touted as superior

    That is the absolute funniest analogy I have ever read! If you guys haven't guessed it by now, I'm a Mac Fanatic, and despise what M$ has done to the world of computing. Ok, its not that bad, I have to program with M$ pc's for a living (as a tool to get to linux and solaris, thank god not...

    Voom may never have a PVR

    I read somewhere that "limited times" was extended to 75 years from some very small timeframe (was it 10 or 12 years?). Now that's a crime against the idea the constitution put forth, and stifles the progress of Science and Arts by locking up the rights to things for too long. :no

    Voom Locals rumor

    Digital and HD are different. Digtial carries HD but it can also carry standard definition (sd - 480i) and anything in between. The rule of thumb is that 1 hd channel's bandwidth = about 6 sd channels bandwidth. A pair of my local stations carries HD (must be a lower quality HD) on the -1...

    ***** Big Big Changes for HD Cinema*****ALL MOVIES in OAR all the time

    I like that new lineup! Now if we could only get rid of the fashion and auction and gallery channels and melt them into the new documentary channel on occasion, and get rid of Moov, that would be great. I like equator, worldsports, rush, and rave, and assume they are staying? I do have to...

    Deal done: Sony buying MGM

    Is it only me, or does anyone else in the US have a problem with foreign companies owning US produced movies. Suddenly a foreign country is going to control which US produced movies we can and can't watch. Am I being too much of an isolationist with this feeling, or do you think there is some...

    Make Way for PVRs

    It's bad enough that microsoft's insecure software catches viruses and spyware at the drop of a hat. I sure don't want my DVR and voom boxes to start crashing because they use insecure M$ software, and let in the Virus du Jour.

    Can I use the Winegard antenna for another receiver?

    The installer used the existing cabling in my house. The ota and dish cable comes into the house in the basement, into some kind of box, then a single line goes over to my preinstalled cable, gets split, goes up to my two boxes. On one voom box, a splitter splits out the ota from the dish, and...

    Can I use the Winegard antenna for another receiver?

    I've tried to use the wineguard ant cable to another reciever and get virtually nothing. If it is a power problem, then that must be why. I went to wineguards web site and found that there is an amplifier that you can buy that can be attached near the antenna. What would happen to voom stb if...

    High bandwidth for the Tyson Fight on 711

    Are you kidding? There was a lot of hugging but it was because these guys were tired! They were like elephants stomping each other, a real bomb fest with the punches they landed. It was disappointing to see Tyson go down in the 4th, but it was still a good fight. Compared to the flyweight...

    Transparent Surf Bar, Do you like it or not?

    I like it, but it should be more like some features on my Mac OS X based hardware, where they give you a slider to set the transparency with a value from 0 to 100. It's a little too transparent for my tastes right now. I have a bit of trouble reading it depending on the back ground. The other...

    Satellite Dish Covers

    Can you post a picture, tell the maker of the cover, and where you got it, and aprox cost? One thing I thought about the voom dish is that with the Big VOOM logo on it, its like an advertisement for "hey, I have a big expensive HDTV inside, come and rob me!" I'd like a cover just to get the...
