RE: ShowShifter vs. TiVo

["Kenneth Watt" <kennwatt@xxxxxxx>]

Nik,

Quite simply TiVo is superb at what it does and has very few flaky moments
I
can count on less then one hand the number of reboots TiVo has had in a
year. A PC on any Windows OS the same cannot be said for.

Add to that the simplistic ease of use with TiVo and you have a winner,
I
have yet to come across anyone who has, or has used a TiVo box that
would
not recommend one and that includes the most staunchly opposed to the
idea
of the cost. The cost I don't think is very high for what TiVo actually
does
and I can almost guarantee that if you use one for a week you will
probably
never watch an off-air broadcast again!

Amar,
What's the picture quality?
I also have spare Pentium III 500 sitting around, which I planned to sell.
I
already have Hauppauge WinTVGo TV tuner card. I also have ATI based VGA
with
TV out (Super something - forgot the brand). I also have DigiGuide
subscription which costed me £5/year compared to £120 on TiVo or £200
for
box life.
If I hack TiVo with TurboNet (extra £50), I'lll break my warranty and
if
something goes wrong, my subscription is gone too.
So, from my point of wiev, ShowShifter has many advantages, but againg
I
would like to know about picture quality? Mark?
My SWMBO knows how to use DigiGuide, so that's not an issue either.
So, I'm just waiting for you TiVo lovers to give me reasons :-).
Nik
