RE: ShowShifter vs. TiVo



Title: RE: [ukha_d] ShowShifter vs. TiVo

You can share programs really easily as TiVo hooks upto you VCR as well.  When recording programs to VCR you just choose a save to tape option. Of course the disadvantage here is that you are going from a digital source to an analogue one.

 

TiVO will probably never support digital video extraction since Replay TV the (US competition to TV) got sued for providing that functionality.

A friends asks,  "can you please record eastenders for me i forgot to set my video"

Some of the guys particularly Don and Justin have been doing just that on the Turbonet forum with varying degrees of success AFAIK. Once I get a card I'll start playing around with it myself.

 

TiVo is native Linux so I have no idea how it works, it just does. But and, listen up Linux peeps, if Linux could run all the software I wanted and it ran as well as TiVo I would be doing rather a few OS installs, yes I would get rid of my Windows, it is *that good* ;-)
