Verizon is not sending out 1080p to the VMS. All HD is currently either 1080i or 720p.

Now that I re-read this....hold on.....

 

 

All these boxes are mine no one else. i do not trade boxes that are not mine. 

 

Really...let me see if I've got this straight

 

You've got 4 slingboxes on the VMS setup. Ok. I'll buy that. I'd have more if I had the money and spare boxes.

 

One on an AppleTV? Ok...maybe I'll buy that one. That's five Slingboxes and an Apple TV. We're talkin some serious money for hardware here.

 

One on DirecTV? So...wait..you've got satellite too?

 

One on DishNetwork? So you've got BOTH satellite providers?

 

AT&T UVerse as well?

 

Plus a slingbox on a movie/music "server"?

 

So you're saying you've got 9 Slingboxes (soon to be 10); on four different TV providers.

 

You are either pulling legs, have more money than sense. I could understand maybe having a second one on a different provider at a vacation house or something....but 4 providers and 9 slingboxes seems to be very excessive; or someone who's making money off it. Yet, you say you rent.

 

Something doesn't add up; and the more I think about it; the more I start smelling my ex-girlfriend.

I'm not one to get into a forum argument. But in North Dallas/Plano/Frisco Texas... The VMS system is absolutely 1080p. Verizon/Televista is preparing for google fiber's move to Dallas for Austin. The old system is still 720p/1080i I will gladly email a pic.

Yes all boxes that I trade are mine. I have been buying just about every slingbox since 2005 including multiples of some of them.

As for Directv I only have it for sports channels and the NFL Ticket.

Uverse is only available at my office and dishnet is at the lake house. And Dish net has better international channels. I also have a BUD CBand for wild feeds.

As stated I have a jailbroken Apple TV with xbmc and also a HTPC movie music server. But these are for special trades. Ones that are hard to find.

You might might think I have more money the sence. But I am just an audio video nut. I was an "advanced member" on this site. Till the recent email blast this past week. In fact I am friends with most of the moderators - including this pages moderator. I am friends with him and trade with him as well. He will gladly tell you about my setup. And I DO NOT RENT! making a false statement damaging to a person's reputation is called slander. Next time just email me from my first post. There is no need to argue or blast this all over the net. Hell we could end up trading... You never know. We are all here to trade anyway!

The number of boxes and stuff I'll give you. You seem to be the one person I know who's capable of having both UVerse and FiOS in a work/home kind of arrangement. I did not think the two markets were anywhere close to each other for that. 

 

But while the VMS system may be outputting 1080p; that doesn't mean that's what Verizon is actually getting. Content providers aren't uplinking more than 1080i or 720p. You might get On Demand stuff that's in 1080p. But, all live programming originates in 720p or 1080i and is output by 1080p.

 

It's kind of like how just because my TV says my Laserdiscs are 1080p doesn't mean they're anything close to 1080p; that's just the format the scaler is sending to the TV.
