RE: ShowShifter vs. TiVo

["Amar Nagi" <amar@xxxxxxx>]

i have no problem with the pic quality. you options
of compression rates.
it suits me fine as it all fits well into my automation setup.
I am trying to centralise as much as possible.
and i just don't want another gadget when my pc can take
of the task without upseting performance. When i was recording a
programme
last night, homeseer and outlook and winfax pro was running on the same
machine
and i had no problems, crashes or dropped frames.
Showshifter with did guide does all that i want and fits my requirements of
recording programs
that  i want to watch when i am out or busy 
It has not crashed on me once, and i have not had to reboot.
So that is good enough for me.

      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

            yes but mark
tell us why.
            i used
showshifter yesterday for the first time
            i used it
with digi guide. it was a breeze.
            i also
installed the web browser plugin
            and now i can
set programmes to record from anywhere.

      I think I'm qualfied to answer this, I built
a PC just to use for SS and ran it for months.  However, as has been
well documented by a certain Scotish bloke, I'm afraid there is simple no
comparrison between the two systems.  TiVo every time.

            I am
considering buying TiVo.
           
            However, I
discovered Showshifter recently. Now I would like to compare those two
products:
