VOOM Whole House DVR

PVR September 27th, 2004

Wow! This just in from Matt Haughey PVR Blog about satellite television service VOOM’s new HD DVR with networking that will allow home users to view content from any monitor in their house via a thin client.

The Satellite Guys have a demo video online from the recent CEDIA EXPO, which they describe as perhaps the “most powerful DVR ever”.
