I do not care about getting media OUT of my STB to wildly inferior display technologies (compared to very big LCD)

I want to set very high quality HD media (x264 aac) to my very big LCD over MoCa or Ethernet … preferably through one STB

* does it sport 4:2:2 ?

* will verizon continue to ignore the demand (need) for user selectable font size? my parents complain about it constantly.

Eh.. Surge. Neither a bonded interface or a raid 5 array are going to do anything for transmission speed, so I’m not sure why you felt either of those were worth mentioning, other to sound “really technical” or something. Which seems to be your main M.O. for posting.

As far as media streaming goes, I highly recommend just using a PS3.

Well what do you know, some of the stuff is finally here!! I got all excited the past year over nothing. The video streaming from media manager sucks. It’s all blocky even on the “high” setting — and the box running it has a dual port gigabit nic bonded together, and the media’s coming from a 3TB raid5….so I guess this is why it took so long, crappy programming. Oh yeah also it doesn’t keep the video in it’s native resolution, it will stretch it out for your TV and make it lookall nasty.

Well, a multi-million dollar company should know that advertising goals that even have a 10% chance of not being met is NOT good for business. It just pisses people off, and ultimately causes people to lose faith in the company.

Are they liars, or were they unable to execute on their goals? There’s a difference.

Lol, my last comment on here is from september, and guess what? It’s June 2009, verizon still have not enabled video streaming for media manager, or enabled the storage ports on their DVRs. I called it, they are a bunch of liars and they advertise features that aren’t even available, and NEVER will be.
