RE: [ukha_d] Tivo for £199 inc VAT and Next Day Delivery

["Kenneth Watt" <kennwatt@xxxxxxx>]

Tim,

The whole point of TiVo is that you don't watch off-air broadcasts; I
haven't since shortly after it arrived! I find that programming clashes
on the stuff I watch are rare and that if it does happen that TiVo, more
often than not, it does pick up a repeat. However, as you rightly say
normal terrestrial is the only flaw here, but then you could get that
conflict on Sky+ as well as TiVo as I don't think you can record two
channels at the one time on either. For the record, if I watch
terrestrial it is usually a specific program and I watch it taped to
VCR.
