I think the Tivo subs are fine

A one off payment of £199

Its more than just a timer

The listings are updated every day

And as long as the broadcaster gives the right info the unit records what you want

 

So I like to watch Voyager

Tivo always records it for me

I don't have to look at any listings

I don't have to press any buttons

 

It just happens

 

Mind you it hasn't got a grille ;-)

You can do it for the cost if you take into account the subscription over two or three years, thats the bit that bugs me.

Problem is that a TIVO will fit into my existing AV setup without needing a keyboard or mouse to boot up after a power cut, without looking like a PC, without sounding like a PC and - for £199 - can you build a PC meaty enough to run showshifter anyway?

 

The U.I. on TIVO is cracking too!

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...

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.
