Will the VOOM receiver have Firewire support to record not just OTA but also the movie channels? I am interested in learning all the outputs of the receiever.

No firewire. The head engineer working on Voom said on the Yahoo Voom Group forum that it would not support firewire. However it will have component and DVI.

Here's the quote:

It's conceivable they will never support Firewire, particularly if they move ahead with MPEG-4 as planned. That said, if they offer a robust, expandable PVR next-year, that might eliminate much of the need for Firewire.
It is my understanding that the VOOM PVR will also be a box by Motorola, and Motorola does have some HD PVRs in development that will allow expansion of HDTV recording capacity (content is DES encrypted) via off-the-shelf USB hard drives. If VOOM were to offer that capability, you could conceivably have removeable drives if there was a need to archive some content.
