I am very interested as well, in addition the notice that they are in the Echostar booth has me rasing my eyebrow and taking notice.

If anyone is going to bring you news and information on XStreamHD its going to be SatelliteGuys so STAY TUNED. :)
 
Yes, let's not forget all the great things they did in promoting and building Voom. They're a great business partner. Anyone else wondering how long before law suites begin over stolen technology and the like.:D

Still anxious to see Xstream. Though, I now have my doubts about it being a viable option to Dish.
 
I'm wondering if this will be available for Satellite retailers to sell and install.
 
Another thing you guys missed on the Echostar thing. Since they are using AMC-16 then they are leasing from Echostar.
 
Very interesting indeed! Will hav't to watch this one! Just hope Charlie don't get his paw's own it and water this down too, back off Charlie! Oh, and maybe they might carrie SPEEDHD too! :rolleyes:

You touched a raw nerve... Voom ( I dared to mention words not spoken!)

Dish does not make for a good partner.

All new and exciting technologie should be afraid very afraid of dish...

The satelite version of the Borg!
 
I'm sure some of the folks on the forum thought of this already, but I just want to put it out there clearly:

Not only does Echostar lease all of AMC-16, they're using most of its capacity for their white-label IPTV service called "ViP-TV" (all MPEG-4 SD and HD for small telcos using the same ViP series of dual-tuner SD/HD PVRs that DISH customers know).

Since XStream HD will use that same bird, it means that a household could conceivably get both ViP-TV and XStream HD with a single Ku-band dish. It could be a sign that XStream HD would simply sell/lease a re-branded Echostar ViP receiver just like a small/regional telco would that resells the ViP-TV service.

No live programming, just a push pull vod type of service. In fact I believe Rich (hokie) is on the floor now getting pictures of their setup there.

Yea, they just had the basic setup there, and it wasn't doing any live data transfers, even though the echostar guys right next to them were doing live data from dishes setup outside. The content is sent to your STB without you knowing about it. Then, when it is ready, your choices of what to watch will automatically update. So it is not a traditional VOD service where you request a movie and it appears a couple hours later or you stream it.

The user's link back to XStream is via their existing broadband connection (so, over the internet).
 
If they are in any way connected with Echostar it is a disqualifier for me. I would like to see an independent satellite company get going. The industry needs competition. The big providers are entrenched, show no real willingness to compete for customers, and only seem to whine when their costs go up.

I do think Charlie is behind it funding and helping. He will pull the plug and let it collapse due to its flawed business model and then pick up the pieces he wants.
