RE: Freeview & TiVo

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

John,

Think of TiVo like a Video Recorder.
Think of FreeView like a satellite receiver.

TiVo _records_ programmes. However, rather than making you type in the
start/end time by hand, it also downloads some programme information so you
can pick programmes by name... and does a whole bunch of other tricks.
However, it doesn't have the ability to receive anything extra.

FreeView allows you to receive rather more channels, without paying a
monthly subscription. However, it doesn't have the ability to record
anything.

TiVo (no FreeView)     
=            Record 4(5)
channels
FreeView (no TiVo)      =
            Watch 30
channels
TiVo + Freeview     
      =      
      Record 30 channels

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Mark

I don't know too much about TiVo's but was thinking about getting one, now
all of a sudden there is something called Freeview which offers a number of
free TV channels through a normal aeriel, but it means getting a new 
gadget of some sort. Would I actually need this gadget if I bought a 
TiVo?
