I think many people know watching TIVO recordings on another TIVO box in another room is possible and a very nice feature it is , but its been around for a long while in different forms

DirecTV use it and by coincidence they use NDS software http://www.nds.com/customers/customer_map.php the same as BSKYB , meaning that very feature is more than likely possible on Sky+HD and SkyHD boxes with a future update.

Sky didn't 'have' Tivo back in 2002. Tivo was launched and marketed as a seperate product which could record from Sky, Virgin and TV.
All Sky were supposed to do were to support it and advertise it, they did neither and Tivo USA realised Sky had just screwed them over while behind Tivo's back they developed their own DVR.

We had a series 1 tivo i think it was around 10 years ago, I also had a Sky tivo. I'm sure Tivo is new to some of you less "techy" users but its old to a lot of us.

If all it can do now is what it did 10 years ago then how come you're making threads asking for advice with it's features rather than making threads telling us what it can do?

Arf, arf - "less techy" users........

Wow, I didn't realise TiVo 10 years ago was HD, had 3 tuners (ability to record 3 programmes at any one time), Apps, remote record, HD UI, Android/iPhone Apps, plus loads more to come

.... I must have been asleep back then

I have a feeling it might be here but I don't want to go into the reasons why for fear of alienating "some of you less techy users".

Shame on you DF for taking such a risk in your last post

It did do all that, I had one of them back then.

It was a stand alone hard disk recorder though NOT a combined receiver/recorder like they are now, it would connect to your digibox by scart lead like a VHS VCR did and control the digibox with an infra red eye.

Would the procedure work like this ?
