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...
