Sorry about the language - just frustrated with trying to be somewhat on the edge of technology -- purchase a HDTV, but local cable doesnt have HD programming. I want the best satellite system, but it requires an ancient phone line which I had to have re-hooked up (I only use my cell, I dont even know my landline #).
The networking option is a solution. It could transfer over the net your voom stb # and what program you purchased. Also, it could send your IP so it could trace you or whatever. This is just an awesome solution - I have a really interesting wireless network at home that I would love to use with this.
I dont see the purpose of verifying location? Is it so people don't clone the info or whatever in the STBs? All they can verify with my phone # is really my area code. What prevents me from hooking the STB up at my friends house and letting it call or whatever? I'm sure stuff in future STB software updates may change this.
An interesting note, my installer did not even plug it into the phone line, and he was pretty familiar with Voom.
Where can I find more info with the VoIP solutions? I hate BellSouth and having a phone line
