Tivo

[Vectracious]

Should I get one?

Cancelled my Foxtel subscription last week because it was $60odd a month and we just didnt watch it because they just play the same stuff over and over again - and now with ONE HD, GO! and Seven TWO + all the others, free to air is enough.

mate has one and he loves it, just wondering if anyone else has one?

With internode and they offer unmetered Tivo service and downloads so all good there.....

My bro in law and sis have had one for several years. They love it but they have foxtel. I would recommend it if you had foxtel but foxtel iq is better in my opinion. Without foxtel why not look at getting a media centre setup, hdr or possibly a ps3 with play tv.

I thought Tivo was only for Freeview and Free to air, not cable????? DOesnt say anything about interfacing with Foxtel on the website.

Spending the money on a decent media centre set up is another idea. I'm guessing TV cards come with programs that can record programs from the electronic program guide?

The movie downloads with Tivo (especially that they are unmetered) are pretty good though.

Have a PS1, PS2 and Wii and none of them ever get used. If I suggested buying a PS3 I'm dead bascically!!!!

Freeview == no ad skipping, which is one of the major features in buying a PVR for me. Buy a non FV device whatever you buy.

Never used a TIVO have a HTPC since Windows XP Media Centre. I have tried all the media centres to date and Windows 7 MC is by far the best ever.
EPG works no probs. I have 1 x dual digital PCI Express tv tuner in the system letting me record one show and watch antoher at the same time. I can also play movies music, surf the net etc etc all from the comfort of my leather lounge hehe.
