My SS setup is very stable. Dedicated
PC. Here’s a screen shot I took a
good
while back for the review (it’s on the list) showing some of the
stuff I
use it for…
http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/images/ss_record.jpg
It is missing the some of the finer
features of TiVo – like the record all
season
and thumbs up/down – but a 4.99 a year for Digiguide
instead of 10.00 a _month_
for TiVo I can live without
it.
Now if Sky Plus was 199 quid I would
be seriously
tempted.

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?
