Thats what my comment was about. If the Tivo is the brave new world of PVR is very much open to debate.( its not new for a start, good but not new)
It old technology repackaged a bit from here & a bit from there.
( I really cant remember when, I had one in the US but when I came back to the UK no one had any idea what I was talking about )
It has more bells & whistles than the V+ but not as much as a PC with a TV card ( & linked to your TV ) Or go down the internet TV route. with the box of your choice.
I guess its the most advanced PVR on the UK market but really does it rate the Idol worship that some people here seem to afford it 
The "I ve rented one" so it must be the best crowd seem to get very upset if some dares to question it . Emperors new clothes syndrome comes to mind. TIN HAT on  |
I agree with all your points above. Tivo to me is no good because its a box full of great features that lacks a couple of the basics which IMO is not acceptable. But I have to say the forum is a bit bias but has calmed down a lot since VM themselves admitted SD pq issues.
But its the same everywhere tbh. For a few years I have wanted a Freesat/Freeview PVR and everytime the next big thing comes out I read forums, get taken in and then return the product (Tivo included!). When the Humax FoxsatHDR came out it had SD pq issues. There was a forum where someone from Humax actually decided not to look into the issue because fanboys convinced him that the guys reporting issues were too dumb to 'set up the picture' on their tv's. 3Views release was even worse. That thing was not even usable but fanboys had the internet thinking that this was the best PVR ever!
