Re: [OT] Netgem freeview lockups and Tivo

Hi Sean

Only the BT version has caller-id but it has no slot for a CAM module=20
so no top up TV option. The BT Caller ID can be linked to images=20
stored on a USB memory stick, when someone calls and you have their=20
number stored in the local address book it puts an image of them on=20
the screen. My young lad loves it :-)

I have both BT and genuine Netgem boxes ( 4 in total) The BT unit is=20
=A365 new but I also got some as new on Ebay for =A330 and a genuine=20
Netgem with no remote ( don't need one with Tivo) for just =A311,=20
bargain.

I must admit that I what I want is a Tivo with integrated Freeview=20
and a DVD recorder to archive to, this would simplify teh wiring a=20
great deal.=20

As far as SCART and RF is concerned it works with SCART only with=20
these STB as they have no modulator just pass thru.

Ian=20
