Voom DVR, What are they showing at CES?

[joemama]

I've read a lot of speculation about when Voom's DVR will become available. At this point, I believe it's all vapor-ware. Has anybody ever even seen their DVR solution? I know they showed some whole house solution last year that really wasn't their stand-alone DVR solution. I believe that CES will show how close (or how far away) their DVR solution is. If there isn't a displayable and usable demo at CES, they are a lot farther away than everyone on this site hopes they are.

well.. I will be there and I hope to get some answers..so I make a decision.

I pity the poor soul from VOOM that gets this assignment.

This guy will get torched here if he demos it again using a pc and not a stb.

A video of the demo (like Scott did last time) would be great if possible. If not, pictures are useful too.

I expect to see in at CES (complete solution), if they plan on making it out in early 2005 they will have a complete system at CES.

Were going to know alot from their booth this year.

I agree. They better have a working prototype (not a Linux PC) and be pulling live programming off of a VOOM transponder (none of this twisted-pair RJ-11 crapolla) or things may get ugly!

VOOM will be at booth number 26103. 25 days and counting...

Any body want some action? $50 says the Voom reps at their booth will say the DVR Home Solution will be out this summer. De ja vu.

Whatever they show, SatelliteGuys will be there and will be showing you exactly what they showed.

DVR Will be at CES

Merry X-mas everyone...

I have a 100% confirmation from a very high up source that Voom will have the DVR there. I, unfortuatly, can't make it this year, so I will be pegged on this board to find out what they say and when it's available. Comcast in my area now has HD, HD DVR, and VOD. that's quite enticing...

I also understand that Voom has a very limited number of beta testers for their DVR right now, less than 100 is what I was told, I bet it's around 50 units. They really need this to be competative, and they really need to make it affordable, their monthly leasing plan for it would be golden, at $20 a month, I'd pay for it.

I will be at CES this year again and I plan to ask some questions. lol It should be interesting.

At this point in time, I'd be happy to use a dedicated computer to run what they were showing last year.

How do you qualify to be a beta tester??? I certainly wouldn't mind.....and by me being a disabled veteran I would have plenty of time to watch Voom programming so where do I sign up??

 

[jagouar]

I think we would all want to be a beta tester
