I have a DVR built into my Digital Cable box from my cable company. BEST THING I could have EVER gotten! It's amazing. All for a mere $4 a month... Don't know how I ever lived without it. And the menu's are quite intuitive, since it's made by the same company that made the plain old digital box I had prior (Scientific Atlanta). It holds 50 hours of video, and it automatically begins recording as soon as you tune in to a program. So, say you watch half of a movie, then you have to leave the house, you hit record, and when you come back, you have the whole movie, not just the back half of it. You can program it to record episodes of a show, or a one time recording, set expiration dates on the recordings, and even individually password protect the movies (useful if you have kids and record R or NR movies). If TiVo does the same stuff, I'm with Ray on this one.. GOTTA HAVE IT!! -----Original Message----- From: Ray at work [mailto:listray@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2004 4:53 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: OT: Home Audio device I've been through all the different "build your own TiVo" experiments on my own, and while I'm the type of person who would much rather build my own everything, nothing can compare with a TiVo. When I sit my ass down to watch TV, I don't want to shut down the computer part of my brain, and there is no "do it yourself" TiVo-wannabe solution that allows for that, 100%. Some do come close, however...
