RE: Freeview & TiVo

["BUTLER, Tony, FM" <roaming@xxxxxxx>]

If I can just add to that,  there will be a Pace PVR released some tim= e this
year which has 2 tuners built in, allowing you to record one freeview
channel whilst watching another.
It will be =A3300 or =A3399 (sorry, can't remember) and there will be no ne= ed
for a subscription.

With TiVo and Freeview, if you are recording a Freeview channel, you CANNOT=
watch another at the same time - you can only watch a normal terrestrial channel.
OTOH, if you get the freeview PVR and later decide to switch to satellite o= r
cable, you will need another pvr such as tivo or sky+ to record them (or of=
course the humble VCR)..

HTH,


Tony
