I am
considering
buying TiVo.
However, I
discovered Showshifter recently. Now I would like to compare those two
products:
- Tivo is all
in
single package
- If I install
ShowShifter on PC and have TV tuner card and VGA with TV out card, then it
should be similar like TiVo.
I already have
DigiGuide subscription and ShowShifter can record directly from DigiGuide,
so I
have the same functionality like TiVo.
It seems that
ShowShifter supports all the "TiVo" features like live program pause
etc...
Again, because
it's
Windows machine, HDD upgrade, ethernet connection etc is all much easier to
implement. All that breaks TiVo's warranty so there's no advantage buying
TiVo
for that.
So, my only
concern
there is: Picture quality.
Because RF
signal
there comes in TV tuner card, is processed by PC, and
is converted to
video signal I wonder if this is watchable.
Showshifter
says
that it's for watching TV on your PC, but I don't really want to watch
it
on the PC, I want to watch it on TV.
My experience
with
any VGA to PAL converters was very disappointing.
Does anyone
use ShowShifter and watches it on TV?
What's the
picture
quality?
