One thing that TIVO dosn't currently do, well not that I've seen is to

actually stop you recording certain programs.

 

see: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/24013.html

 

Seems to be one of those things that’s technically possible but unlikely to be implemented

 

Also, has anyone been able to upgrade a sky+ box, I'm about to rip the

lid of my tivo, and give it 2x 120GB drives, and more memory.

 

It should be, as the drives in the Sky box are just FAT32 formatted 7200rpm drives

 

I'm also, as TIVO are independant then your viewing data probably dosn't

get used subversivly, were as sky+ of course is run by sky.

 

This was the argument with the original Sky box, I've yet to see any evidence of it.

 

One thing I have noticed is that Tivo owners do seem to be evangelical in their support of the platform much in the same way that Mac users are. If it is so great why has take up been so slow, yet with Sky+ they can’t make enough of the things?

Who doesn’t mean to, but always seems to take the contrarian’s view J
