This is a "killer app".  I can see a few more TiVo boxes coming
up on eBay
now.

Probably... but then thats more good news for the rest of us :) Imagine
hav=

single Tivo per Channel..<grin>

Personally my (120gig) Tivo records far more than I can actually watch
from=
FreeView,
and the ability to hack it makes it far better (for me) than SKY+. Having

I'm sure I'll end up with SKY+ one day.. but TiVo will still be my one

SWMBO uses SKY for her live viewing so I've never dared connect the TiVo

it.. can
just imagine how pleased she be if it changed to the Sci-Fi Channel in the

What would be ideal (for me) is if someone knew of a hack to allow source
s=

based on Time of Day. What I mean is the Tivo would use FreeView 24 hours
a=
day but=20
use the SKY box as a source only between 10pm and 6am and 9am to 5pm (when

SWMBO is
fast asleep or at work).

So I suppose that brings us full circle ... with dual recording on SKY+

Personally I can't bear to give Sky any more money.  My package used to co=

That seems a lot, we recently dropped sports/movies from the full =A336

went down to =A315.?? and its only gone up to =A319.??
