    DVD Recorders: Who's using them with Voom?

    I'm on a Xeon 3.4Ghz here at work. I've not yet tested the Quadro FX3400 video card for HD playback. Maybe I'll try that now. Which ATI card do you have? Have you tested HD playback on your system yet? WMV HD Content Showcase Update: WMV-HD downloads are playing just fine here. My...

    DVD Recorders: Who's using them with Voom?

    DVD Recorders: Who's using them with Voom?

    I'll take a swag at some of these questions... Question: What's the advantage to having the HDD in the recorder? 1) Ability to record more content in XP mode. 2) Edit content before archive to dvd media. 3) Temporary content can be deleted without wasting dvd media. Question: It...

    Other Discussion: Firewire, DD5.1

    JimP-- To my knowledge, the firewire input for current recorders will only work with DVD Camcorders and a select few (Canopus) PC 1394 cards. If someone can show otherwise, please share.

    Why does a DVR have to be a Voom product?

    Tivo's work suprisingly well with Voom. With the right settings, image quality is very good if not great. The guide works slick and you cannot beat the season pass functionality. We sold our Tivo in haste when it was rumored that a Voom DVR would hit streets in Oct/Nov timeframe. With holiday...

    Just got a Panasonic DMR-HS2 for $265 shipped on eBay. Much of what the HS2 has to offer has already been covered but I'll try to bring more to the party if I can. Maybe some detailed pics and sample video recordings.

    DVD Recorders: Who's using them with Voom?

    I'll start by posting some of my experience... We brought home a DVD equiped Tivo SD-H400 a month or so ago to test with Voom. We were pleased with the image quality AND Tivo functionality. We were not excited about paying $13/mo for service. With rumors that the Voom DVR was going to hit...

    How many clients will you need or willing to pay for?

    Dumb Question: We want two tuners for the house. Currently, one tuner feeds the whole house while another feeds the main viewing area. This allows my wife and I to watch different shows. Does this mean one dvr and one client? Or one dvr and one stb? Seems to me, if the later is cheaper...

    Voom announces intent to introduce a HD DVR in the summer

    Voom will use coax instead of ethernet. This will allow users to network to each client via existing cable runs instead of having to run ethernet thru the house. IE: If your house is wired for cable tv, your good to go with Voom Server/Client DVR.
