RE: Re: Tivo 199 at Powerhouse?

[Mike Griffiths <mike@xxxxxxx>]

I would say stability
It just works all the time
The only time mine doesn't record is if the IR to the Sky box goes wrong
And that would happen with any system until sky let us control the box with
the serial port
Showshifter seems pretty basic as well when it comes to control/selection
I've just put together another system using the Matrox450etv card
A good toy but I can never see the system being as seamless as the TiVo is
My 2d worth

As you say inexcusable.

Is there any benefit in getting TIVO over a decent PC and Showshifter?
