Re: ShowShifter vs. TiVo

Nik,

I'm using WinTV PVR and a Matrox G450 Dual head - output to the TV 
via the dual head from SS is poo - from most other mpg sources it's 
fine (as with DVD) ... I absolutely HATE the fact that you have to 
mute the incomming sound to play something back... it's pointless and 
could quite easily have been sorted out in the SS software... I 
haven't looked at SS for a while but I don't think that a great deal 
has changed...

How much is a digiguide subscription?

Ultimately my goal would be to have nothing in the rooms in the house 
except for speakers and TVs - and have a central AV room which 
contained all the music servers, VCRs, TIVOs, CD /Tape decks, DVD 
Changers and individual amps etc (node 0 :O) ) all controlled via IR 
in each room and available to be controlled via a PC 
<PLUG>HomeAutomator</PLUG>, rack mounted of course :D If I can
do 
that (and move all the kit out of the living room then I could 
possible pursuade SWMBO to let me have a humongous TV
