gaspodeEvery so often I relaise how wonderful Tivo is ....
Sea of Souls started last night rather than next week like I thought - Luckily the season pass from last year was still in place and Tivo recorded it :~)
If anyone is still thinking about PVR's - Get a Tivo ... There are a still plenty available on line. From Ebay or from the Tivoland web site (and other uk guys)...
It may be older tech than some of the new machines - but they just dont come closs with the season passes and reliability .... Plus you can stick it on the network and download the files to a PC - then DVD em or convert them to DivX (and take out all the ads and crap).
I'll have to get a new Sky~+HD box for HD but the Tivo will still be recording all teh non HD stuff.

Date: 2006-01-09 08:19 am (UTC)This is a little box that is needed to use Tivo with the pacelink cable TV boxes - they use slightly different IR frequencies. This was always an add on from Tivo support even when the boxes were brand new (£29 from Tivo support - £8 now from the various UK tivo 'Dealers') they are now much cheaper... Its basically a little black box that sits between the wands and the tivo.
