RE: [VOOM] Wilt - How do you record VOOM HD to DVHS

Just for the record, I was talking about people signing up to the Yahoo Voom
group, not Voom itself.

I "completely" understand your frustration with the lack of DVR. Like I
said, I too was ready to leave Voom just a few weeks ago but with the recent
announcements, it appears to me that Voom is working very hard behind the
scenes but like most big companies, don't say anything until the day they do
something. This sucks for us customers, but is typical for a large company.

RE: [VOOM] Wilt - How do you record VOOM HD to DVHS

Unless there's one that will record component and/or DVI, I don't know of
any other tricks. Obviously, since the box puts out SD versions of
everything simultaneously, any recorder could conceptually copy stuff, but
I'm not aware of any HD recorders that would natively connect without 1394.

There has been, in here as I recall, some discussions of SVHS decks but
that's it.

Subject: [VOOM] Wilt - How do you record VOOM HD to DVHS




I spoke to VOOM CSR's again today and they insist that it is possible to
record VOOM HD programming to a DVHS though they said it was against
company policy to give the name of the DVHS that can do this. I would
really like to be able to record an occasional program and I believe
that the DVR will not be available until the 3rd quarter of 2005 and
based on VOOM's current policy of not allowing people who own their
boxes to rent any other equipment it seems doubtful that I will be able
to get one even when they are available. (i.e. I would never purchase
another piece of equipment from VOOM).

Wilt how do you record the VOOM HD signal to a DVHS recorder?

RE: [VOOM] Wilt - How do you record VOOM HD to DVHS

If they had announced their intentions on the new channels ahead of time
they *might* have kept me as a customer. They also still haven't announced
their plans to deal with the potential loss of bandwidth on the borrowed
bird which had me worried. Their web site is full of disclaimers about some
channels being at risk if they lose that borrowed space. I'll wait until
they solve that and have a DVR solution before I consider returning. A pile
of SVHS tapes is not a DVR solution and not something I'm willing to do.
That's how I solved my need 10 years ago, long before Tivo altered my
expectations.

Thanks Wilt - the CSR's insist that there is a DVHS that records from component or DVI and that VOOM has tested this and they are just not allowed to give out the name/model of the DVHS - I really think they are just reading that from a script - but who would write such a script unless it was true.

Why doesn't the VOOM box have 1394 - I think all HD cable boxes are required to have it and the OTA HD set top box I used to have had it as well?

RE: [VOOM] Wilt - How do you record VOOM HD to DVHS

I don't know of any such box, nor why we'd be keeping a secret of it.
As to firewire, check back in the threads and you'll see some discussion of
that and the issues with MPEG 4.
