Wilmington, DE | Fios Media Server Any new news on the MEdia Server they said would come out Q4 of this year? I'm really interested. It would make a tv install into a kitchen a lot easier with no need for wires.

| I have not heard any updates, but the sooner the better. Maybe we will receive an update at CES? I'm not going this year dang it. Next year for sure. |

The LG BP620 BD player, which supports the Verizon App, also supports WiFi. So, the only cables you'd need would be 2 power cables. |

I'm confused. How would this help? It's still a box. He might as well wire up a cable box and get everything.
EDITED: OK, sorry. If the issue is getting a cable wire into the kitchen then I see why this helps. If the issue is having a cable box in the kitchen (my wife's pet peeve) then this probably wouldn't be a good solution. |

yeah I'd rather not run any new wires into the kitchen..and the box is significantly smaller...at least it appears to be. |

I've been looking forward to this too and hoping to hear something from CES. There are two or three nights we just can't record everything and six tuners would solve that problem. |

I'd expect Verizon to show it off at CES. That's where in the past they've shown off their latest tech. Last year it was Samsung, LG, and Xbox internet TV streaming for FiOS TV. Hopefully they'll have some ETA for customers to get their hands on one. |

Sadly no dates or pricing.  |

The VMS1100 is the centerpiece of a new Motorola Medios+ VMS platform that supports up to five IPC1100 clients on separate TVs. The bottom line: everyone in the house can watch what they want, at the same time.
The VMS1100 has one terabyte of internal storage so you don’t have to compete for space — that’s 100 hours of HD content or weeks of SD programming. The IPC1100 taps into all that goodness via coax, from a sleek box the size of a paperback novel.
So how do I sign up?  |

I'll be at CES tmrw. I'll take some pictures of the sizes of the boxes and also try to get the maximums on box counts. I have 7 boxes and while usually only 3-4 or on at a time, I'd like to know if you can have multiple boxes but only a few streams. Also they'll need to do a better job of organizing data. We have 2 DVRs so that everyone's stuff is somewhat separate. |

I as well will get this as soon as it is out, and I can get my hands on them.
I am very excited. |

| reply to danman48
That sounds great, danman. I'm sure all of us would appreciate it. |

Can you have more then one VMS1100?
If so, can one media server see the content from another, and can a client from one media server see the content from another?
Can old boxes see content from a new media server?
Do the new media server clients have a tuner, or do the steal a tuner from the server? |

1 edit | I was told this months ago so it may or may not be accurate now...
Yes (corrected) "Can you have more then one VMS1100?"
No "Can old boxes see content from a new media server?"
Steal "Do the new media server clients have a tuner, or do the steal a tuner from the server?"
Guessing we will know more facts over the next days to months.
If I can get any factual details I will update. |
