RE: Showshifter vs. Tivo - ReplayTV wins

["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

Me as well.
But it's easier to smuggle box past SWMBO saying that it costs just £200
and
then pay subscription two months later.
It seems that ReplayTV realized that so they are coming with the new line
of
boxes where hardware and service will be priced separately.
Do you think that we have any chance being pilot group or getting
discount
on bulk buy?

I don't think we do know that £1 = $1. It used to, but these days, I'm
seeing far closer prices.

My guess is that the ReplayTV pricing will be based on the market
competitors at the time of launch...

After all, a TiVo (albeit at TiVo2) costs $399, plus $250 for the
lifetime
service. So by comparison, the ReplayTV (which, AIUI includes the
service)
costs only $50 more... about 8% more.

On that basis, a ReplayTV_UK including service would cost maybe
£450...

I'd be prepared to pay the extra £50 for the benefits of a ReplayTV over
a
TiVo.

Regards,

Mark

Is it?

I'm surprised that you know the price for the UK ReplayTV, given that
SB
still haven't set it :-)

Yes, but price is higher...
When it's down to TiVo's price (box + subscription + turbonet =
£500-600)
then the choice is simple.

I looked at the ReplayTV site today. If they start distributing these 
in Europe it's a no brainer...

1.No Subscription

2.Built-in Ethernet that allows you to a) Send recordings to friends 
over the internet, b) if you have more than one ReplayTV box they 
will 'talk' to each other, meaning that you can play a recording 
that's stored on one box (say in the living room) over the LAN to one 
in say the bedroom...

3. web interface allowing you to start/program recordings from 
anywhere that has a net connection...

4. Skip ads...

5. DIGITAL audio out

6. Capacities from 40 hours to 320 hours

7. Store your digital photos and watch slide shows on television 

... I think this box kicks Tivo in the backside...
