Amar,
If you are happy with SS then great
especially if as you say it meets all your requirements.
For me SS just doesn't cut it. All
of the additional features (already mentioned) and usability mean there is
no other
option that even comes close to TiVo including
Sky+.
TiVo should really do a try before you buy service. I guarantee
that if
anyone has one for a week they won't want to give it back
!!!
Video Extraction seems to be a mute
subject, in fact on the TiVo forums it is a
banned subject
and you won't find anyone talking about it. There is no easy way of doing video
extraction, although I do believe it is
possible.
Mark.
PS I think TiVo
2 is salted for Spring 2003

ShowShifter
vs. TiVo
i have no problem
with
the pic quality. you options
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.
