Re: [STB] Moxi

The stupidity is is that Moxi never freakin' advertised anywhere except for amazon.com. if the marketing department did their jobs properly they would have had a bigger influence and impact on the market, and possibly usurp TiVo.

An article about this on the Engadget site:

Arris brings Moxi HD DVR sales to an end, plans to cut off guide data after 2013... maybe
Engadget - February 11, 2012
»www.engadget.com/2012/02 ··· f-guide/

"While Moxi may live on in spirit as a white label multiroom HD DVR for cable companies, parent company Arris announced on its website this week the retail boxes and extenders are no longer being sold. Initially, a note on the company's home page indicated tech support and guide data would come to an end at the end of 2013 as noted by Zatz Not Funny (»www.zatznotfunny.com/201 ··· service/), but references to that have since been removed. Potentially abandoned users on AVS Forum (»www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/ ··· page=180) have already started looking for alternative ways to keep the guide data flowing and possibly get help from Arris in prying open the code to do so. We've contacted Arris for more information but haven't received a response yet -- we'll update you when / if we do. In the meantime Digeo's baby is still operational, so owners can enjoy however much time they have left, we'd recommend studying up on the stages of grief so you'll understand how to handle them over the next several months."
