Voom zooming forward with digital video recorder

Voom

Voom hasn't exactly been vooming or booming since its launch about a year ago—at one point the satellite HDTV service was signing up an average of ten customers a day—but that isn't stopping them from moving forward and teaming up with OpenTV and Ucentric Systems on plans to offer a digital video recorder that'll have built-in networking capabilitites so you can stream media around the house. Not sure if it'll make all that huge of a difference since DirecTV already offers a TiVo that can record HDTV (they also don't mention when it'll be available), guess we'll have to wait and see on this one.
