Tivo knowing stuff type guys..

« on: July 30, 2008, 03:34:20 PM »

Tivo is being released here.

Just wondering those of you who have tivo or know someone who has it: is it any good?, what have been the main issues? is it worth getting one of these units instead of any other PVR type device.

Cheers

Maybe other than some HD implications, I can't see any reason to pay a monthly fee to do the same thing you can with a unit you can own. Tivo had a good run, but My guess is the corner of the market they held hostage has been liberated.

I'm sure other more learned than I can break it down for you.

Since Tivo is on it's way to you guys, DVDs can't be far behind! Wait 'til you see those sumbitches!

Cheers.

She was possibly talking about something completely different....

I have Tivo and I love it. My shows get recorded even when the network moves them around. I can schedule a recording from my work if need be. If there is room on the drive, it records show it thinks I might like. It has live365.com on it so I can listen to internet radio through my home entertainment system. Be able to stop and back up a live show is great. I find myself wanting to do that when I'm watching a TV that doesn't have Tivo.

When I got mine, they were offering a lifetime (of the recorder) subscription for $300. I did that so I don't have to pay a monthly fee.
