Anyone played with VOOM?

Is this service up anywhere? Has anyone checked it out?

Yes!

I have it and love it!!! Need to add the IR codes to TIVO then remap channel numbers. Even though the bulk of the service is in HD(Tv) the 480I composite output stays active even when watch ing a HD channel, Tivo works fine using this.

Looking to generate slices for the service in the future.

forgive me, but I'm assuming that you are using a SA tivo to "tape" this, VOOM is a seperate satelite service from DTV, right?

Did you say you can change channel numbers on Tivo?!? Like if I wanted to record channel 294. I could watch it on my Tivo?

Yes!

I am a voom installer.
The voom IR codes are the same ones used by the cable company HITS Satellite/Cable combo DC2 receivers. Some old boxes say General Inst. New ones now say Motorola (Motorola bought the DC2 system from GI)
A DSR410 uses the same IR codes. So try GI and Motorola cable box codes.

Voom will soon have its own DVR. (motorola)
