On the AVS Forum, someone posted a link to this site.. http://www.ucentric.com/ and said these people were making Voom's DVR that he had messed with it at a tech show. Is this true? That main flash they have looks a lot like Voom's PG but the word's VOOM have been photoshopped out of the top left hand corner...
Is Ucentric the DVR manufacturer?

I found this amazing website that allows you to search the web!!! It's at www.google.com. You type in the words that you want to lookup and it returns web pages that match your search words. Try this with "ucentric voom" and you'll be amazed to learn that it brings you this link as the first hit (among a gazillion other links): <a href="http://www.ucentric.com/index.php?news/mentions/124">http://www.ucentric.com/index.php?news/mentions/124</a>

Read it thanks, sorry didn't understand this, so this Ucentric "box" will add on to your home LAN and works independently of Voom's DVR to bring recorded content to all the TVs? It's not native to the DVR? Seems like this would require lots of b/w currently at home I run a Wireless G lan, I would think a 100baseT or WirelessG is the lowest speed lan you could run?
I do not think the intension is to run wireless at first. All the clients will need to be wired. There may be a wireless solution down the road but not now.
Sean, have you heard any updates on when the DVR might come out? If I haven't heard anything by October I think I'm going to switch to Comcast for their DVR.

I do not want to give you false hope as I know nothing official either. Just speculation on my part, I do not think it will be out by October. It may be out before end the of 2004 but again I haven't heard anything official and all is a guess on my part.
In a nutshell, I know very little about its release.
well, if their marketing dept. has any input, one would think they would push to release it in time for XMAS gift season...
just a word of caution, be care if you decide to be an "early adopter", as things like this tend to be buggy in their first release...

Thanks for the link! Gee, I never knew the DVR was released this summer. I will be sure to call VOOM and order mine today. Again, thanks for your help. I will continue using Google in order to find reams of uselessly outdated speculation and conjecture.thoellri said:

Thanks! I'm just hoping to hear something by October -- I don't expect them to release it by then. Hopefully this year though. If I haven't heard any news by October then I'll just assume that the rumors of a March release are true and I'll switch and come back to Voom later if need be.
Hi Sean,
Ucentric announced a deal with VOOM in January at the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas to license Ucentric's software and include it as part of the VOOM HD Home Media Network product. I attached a copy of the release just in case you need it. The VOOM product with Ucentric's multi-TV DVR software is expected to be shipped out to VOOM customers this Fall.
If you have any specific questions or need more detail let me know.
