Some
"TIVO Truths" I've been told by the salesdroids...
Q
:
"Does TIVO support composite, S-Video or RGB output?"
A
:
"No ... it's SCART only."
Q
:
"How much recording time do I get and what's the quality
like?"
A
:
"About two days and it's as good as DVD, if you want better quality then he
recording time comes down a bit."
Q
:
"Is there any way to get more recording time at best
quality?"
A
:
"Yeah you can fit a bigger hard disc."
Q
:
"Who does that? TIVO?"
A
:
"No, you just stick in a big hard disc like you would in a
computer, of
course it invalidates the warranty so I shouldn't tell you but you just
stick in
a bigger drive - if you can put a hard disc in a PC it's
easy."
Q
:
"Can you have more than one TIVO on a subscription?"
A : "I don't see
why you
would want more than one but yes."
Q
:
"Can I have a demo?"
A
:
"Yes ... there it is." [Points to rolling TIVO demo.]
Q
:
"What I mean is can I actually see it woking? See it recording
and
playing back something?"
A
:
"No."
I'm
just waiting until I get correct answers from a salesdroid
...

Once
overheard a salesdroid in Comet tell a customer that even if they used a
SCART
lead connect their satellite to their Nicam TV they still wouldnt have
Stereo
Sound because satellite didnt use NICAM.
I
take great pleasure in asking questions and seeing how deep a hole the
sales
person will dig for themselves. Cant consider getting a TiVo as no shop
round
here can demonstrate it because they havent got
subscriptions.
