same here love that game to :)

Re: TIVO screenshots
 

so far then the peeps who have tivo love the games on it .... well worth £149 then (thats being sarcastic by the way) :D

sadly i get the feeling thats the best you can come up with right now above and beyond what the V+ can do

a fancy new UI (well partial if other review is true) and enhanced search/record functions ... nothing earth shattering over a V+ for the average Joe Public

question is if a customer deems £149 (to be increased for new customers) a worthy cost for that level of advancement .... to me .. nope cant say it is

Re: TIVO screenshots
 

I think for the likes of yourself, you might be better having a play with a TiVo at your local Virgin Media Store?

Sounds like you need to see it for yourself. :)

I'd second that advice! Had a play at the weekend in the Westfield store.

A more pleasing user experience than the V+, but I get the feeling that is down to the standard of the V+ than the standard of TiVo. Obviously the main functions (season pass, wishlists, suggestions) can't really be thoroughly reviewed in a 2-minute play about though.

Re: TIVO screenshots
 

Tivo is really impressive Cozzy. I think the reason there arent any reviews yet is because it is very comprehernsive and takes awhile to see whats going on.

Here are some more screen shots

Re: TIVO screenshots
 

That's the problem with TiVo .... for most people (Joe Public) it doesn't look that big a deal on the surface.

Although not economically viable to 'trial' at the moment, I'd say that if one was to live with it for 3-6mths, then take it away, reverting to a standard PVR like V+, I could safely say you'd miss it a lot more than you'd realise.

Re: TIVO screenshots
 

but, you get a "feel" and might make your decisions a bit easier?

Re: TIVO screenshots
 

Picked a film from the guide and then looked at the options, this bit is fantastic

Re: TIVO screenshots
 

That's what I have just done in birmingham, had a quick play with it and.......

Very fast compared to my box and oh so slick! Now if only VM would come round and install one!!! :angel:

P.S. The staff were very helpful, gave me a quick run down and then just let me fiddle.

Re: TIVO screenshots
 

This info button is very detailed too, you can see really easily if the show has a dolby digital soundtrack.

File size too big on pic. Anyone know a good free picture resizer for snow leopard?

John.

edit:think I sorted it

Re: TIVO screenshots
 

Oh yes, definitely.

It would make the choice between a V+ and a TiVo at the same or similar pricing dead easy.

The cost of the TiVo just muddies the waters as you can' really see in action what you would be paying for.

Re: TIVO screenshots
 

Ah, yes. Found a few good films I'd of missed otherwise, via the search options.

It's so fast at getting the info too.

<<<< oooh 5,000 posts! :)

Re: TIVO screenshots
 

If you open the pictures in preview there should be an option to resize the image.

Re: TIVO screenshots
 

Thanks Stephen, thats exactly what I did.

Unfortunately my 18 year old son now has the remote and is finding all films by Mr speilberg;) . More photos could be delayed awhile:erm:
