Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

That's a fair point mate , and on mpeg2 about 120 hrs my 250gb mpeg 4 does 60hrs.

Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

Sounds a bit like goal post moving to me. :D

How can you compare a sky HD box that records 60 hours HD with tivo that trecords 125 hours HD? (twice the amount)

Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

I wasn't moving goalposts was merely meaning most people have enough recording on a standard sky+hd box doing 60hrs HD but admittedly not everyone like yourself, the sky 1tb does 240hrs HD how many people really need that

Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

TiVo isnt for Joe Bloggs, its being marketed by Virgin as a premium product. The V+ and vhd is for the average vm customer. If you want TiVo you pay £3 a month, if you dont Virgin have other products for you, simples.

Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

Agreed mate it looks a good product and will probably appeal to people even more when the different HDD sizes are available.

Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

One thing i wownt be getting Tivo way to expensive cant afford it in these times more important things to pay for Tivo maybe good but to expensive

Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

Strange, as your original comparison was

Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

the way Tivo is going in the US and downunder i can only see the same happening over here in time.

so ill hold off getting it who knows if its still going strong and getting stronger in a couple of years i may get it.

Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

That is interesting regarding catch up, personally I wouldn't be without it. Do you regualrly use VM's other OD services?

Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

Wonder why the delay

Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

DirecTV have been having issues with their own software from what I can gather.

Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

I wonder if it really has to do with the ongoing litigation cases, Tivo are now obtaining further lines of credit to fund these cases which seems one huge gamble.

Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

I was more meaning are DirecTV that bothered about TIVO




Even Duke Nukem finally got a release date that looks like it is going to happen, and we have to wonder at this point how relevant the DirecTV box will be when it is finally released. Additional rumors seem to suggest that it will not offer many of the features found in the latest CableCard generation Series 3 TiVo units, and it could even lack some of the features of the latest generation of DirecTV DVR units; if true, this means that it could be an uphill battle for the box.

Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

There seems a massive difference with DirecTV and VM.

DirecTV don't appear to be planning to implement Tivo as their de facto platform, rather just a premium product much like all the other platforms in the US which given the uncertainty with Tivo makes perfect sense. They have a healthy alternative range of advanced but cheap or indeed free STB's for the masses. If Tivo went belly up I suspect it wouldn't be a disaster for them.

The cynic in me thinks they are biding their time to see how things pan out with the court cases. I cannot see how it can take 3 years to launch a PVR no matter how good it is.

To me borrowing money to fund court cases is a bit like getting an overdraft to put on the ponies, maybe you'll win but maybe you wont so let's hope they win!

Re: £3.00 Tivo Charge
 

Not that often. The ones I do check every now and then are Warner TV and US Box sets and sometimes re-watch a series I like.

US box sets never seems to have that much in the listings though.
