Thinking of getting 1TB Tivo but have some questions
Am I right in thinking that If I order a 1TB it would cost only £49.95 which includes activation/installation? or is it £49.95 for the box and another £49.95 for activation. According to their website its free activation
Also i just rang CS and they recon they would charge me £1.50 a month for the Tivo instead of £3

Re: Thinking of getting 1TB Tivo but have some questions
The thing thats concerning me about the 500 gig one is that if tivo records progams it thinks I like then does this not eat into the memory i.e hours of recording?

Re: Thinking of getting 1TB Tivo but have some questions
Nope. The suggestions don't count towards recording space - so they will be deleted for your recordings

Re: Thinking of getting 1TB Tivo but have some questions
OK so 500gig (250 hours of recording) is based on my records not the suggested hours. What about HD how many hours of HD can be recorded? As I can see myself recording more HD content.
I've read some where that sometimes the suggested records cause clashes with planned records and can take preferance.

Re: Thinking of getting 1TB Tivo but have some questions
It's around 60 hours of HD recording. I have never had the situation you describe with the suggestions.

Re: Thinking of getting 1TB Tivo but have some questions
HD Recording is 59 hours. If there is a clash between a suggestio and a planned recording then the suggestion wont recording in favour of planned recording
