RE: ShowShifter vs. TiVo



Title: Message

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

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.
