Voomware design and software problems

[voomvoom]

I've had several Motorola receivers. Motorola seems to get into markets it can monopolize, and then shut innovation down. An example would be C-band, where Motorola bought the Digicipher abd 4dtv technology and killed the other receiver manufacturers.

There has been next to no development of new product in the field since. Progress stopped. Any technological improvements were lateral in nature. Motorola is, literally, absolutely comfortable with waiting years for promised software updates. Think Microsoft without Linux.

That being said, I've never had a Motorola receiver give up the ghost on me. I guess you could say Motorola builds em to not work very well for a long, long time.

I can't argue with anything here, except :"where Motorola bought the Digicipher abd 4dtv technology and killed the other receiver manufacturers"

General Instrument had done that long before Motorola bought them out...

What hurt 4dtv was the providers not allowing programming on a second reciever for a $5 mirror fee simular to the small dish providers...

Count me as one...

I just dont believe that there exists any voomer that has never had a lock up.
