Moxi apparently can’t be bothered to support MPEG-4 streaming of any flavor: xvid, MKV, mp4

that’s a deal killer.. on the fly transcoding to mpeg-2 with tversity would get old REALLY quickly at $800

Rick, the retail Moxi box is not the same as the cable company issued box. Especially if you got one of the old ones running on Motorola hardware.

I just got a Moxi box from my cable co-Charter & it doesn’t have alot of the features that I have read about on Digeo’s site–same DVR I think.This is really dissapointing and I feel I have been short-changed by Charter..how in the heck can they cut out features if this Moxi has it anyway? Any one can explain that one to me? Thanks

When did TiVo get a sex change? My TiVo’s always been a guy! Cute and cuddly, but still a guy!

I too like the other-half take!

“Non-Geek Look at Moxi” <—- Anybody that can differentiate between two DVR brands, in terms of the utility they provide and the user experience, *is* a geek. And anyone willing to fall on the sword and articulate in writing those differences, in order to benefit Consumers in their purchasing choices, is a geek beyond salvation.

Welcome to Nerdsville Melissa, we’re glad you are here!

P.S. The vast majority of people ( non ZNF readers ) still refer to any STB or home theater component as “the thing” ( I just got back from WalMart, can you tell? ) those who do so are who I consider “non-geeks”.

I enjoyed when Brent offered dual reviews of the Kindle 2, by he and his wife. So when Melissa was giving me her impressions of Moxi last night, I said write it up. I had no idea she actually would and was half joking. But without my knowledge or input, she put this together. Less blogging work for me today – thanks, hon! (It also turns out she’s a ’short form’ blogger, like I. Less is more.)
