Local Sears Voom Reports...

  • Server Issues.

    We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.

    We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.

    If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.

    We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.

    Sorry for the issue!

VOOM receiver is up and running on display at Sears in Moreno Valley CA right next to a set running the E* HDTV demo channel. They had the VOOM receiver tuned to a soccer match on the Worldsport channel. Any time the camera panned to follow the action the pixellation was really terrible! They did have plenty of nice brochures but no remote was on display. I didn't ask about it but they may just not have wanted anyone playing with it. I know that they have a dedicated 61.5 dish just for the E* HDTV display there (they use a stand alone dish500 for the SD models - no SW64). They may have just put in a standard multiswitch to connect the VOOM receiver but I had no way to verify that.

Never had heard of Voom before, but they had a TV running (probably the demo loop).

My daughter was complaining about being bored, so I gave her one of the Voom brochures.

There was nothing outstanding enough about the display to make me notice anything else ;)
