To all of you who are looking to TiVo because you really have no choice.... If you are a COX customer, The Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8000 is now available or coming soon. Other cable companies may have them or be getting them...

I own a series 1 Tivo and I love it. I bought it when they 1st came out and upgraded it with an 80 & 120 gig HD. Things were perfect for years. Until. I bought my wife a series 2 unit this week and I went to activate it. After slogging my way through a voice system from hell I was informed...

I heard on the news today that TiVo reported a record spike of TiVo viewers rewinding and watching over and over the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberklake "booby stunt" during the half time show at the Super Bowl. How does Tivo know what it's subscribers are doing or watching? This sounds a little too...

"Rod Smith" wrote in message ... All in all, systems preloaded with MythTV might one day make good consumer DVRs. Today, though, my impression is that MythTV's drawbacks are big compared to its advantages over TiVo, and...

Well, once again, here on the West Coast, they have really screwed with the time change, not going back to Standard Time until the first weekend of Nov. Me being fairly new to TIVO, I assume, that the box will know and auto change on network time??? Two of my three VCRs do it automatically. But...

I wanted to add new cable box for my cable TV - Time Warner wants $10/month for a box. I bought a cable box on the street the same one I have - for $30. After connecting to a cable it says "call operator" - so I called. They told me that they will not support this box - I have to buy a box from...

is there any way to tell how much room is left on your tivo dvr series 2? Amee --

Am I right in assuming that the series 1 or 2 Tivos (non-HD) will become useless as of Feb. 2009, when all TV goes digital? Also, I have the lifetime service contract which is marked "transfers allowed" in the record on the Tivo website for my account. I didn't notice this before, and assumed it...

Hi all, I bought a second-hand TiVo a while ago, and in the last day or two it's started misbehaving. In particular, Channel 4 has gone mostly silent, with just the odd snatch of sound every few minutes, and BBC2 seems to be similarly affected, although the silences on BBC2 are much shorter....

*Rant on* Ok, well my credit card was over its limit, so I canceled it and let TiVo expire for a while. I understood that I would no longer get the channel guide, and season passes would cease to work. However, what happened is beyond unacceptable and as such I will never resubscribe to...

After upgrading my Mac OS to Tiger (10.4.1), my TiVo Desktop software (v1.9.1) no longer works. I tried deleting all the components of the original TiVo Desktop installation and then re-installing it. It fails repeatedly; I get a message saying that there was an ³error² during installation and to...

DIrecTv's press release proves it. "A Boeing 702 model satellite, Spaceway F2 is identical to the Spaceway F1 satellite, which launched April 26 from the Sea Launch platform and will conduct commercial operations from the 102.8-degree WL orbital slot." No existing receiver is designed to handle...

Hello, Having just acquired a shiny new PC with a dual TV tuner card (Lumanate/Emuzed Angel PCI Mpeg) I was wondering what the best TVR/DVR/Tivo type software is for recording TV and such. I have tried Cyberlink Home Cinema, and it's pretty basic but seems geared for the simple minded, in my...

While I'm making up my mind about what service to use, I picked up the Time Warner Explorer 8300 box to have something to use and to check it out. Now the 8300 looks pretty good to me ... anyone know any good reason I should dump it and get the TIVO DT box ? I kind of miss some of the operations...

Will Tivo S3 have the ability to burn HD DVD's? Tim

http://www.tivo.com/cms_static/press_82.html Here are the highlights: * The price for a TiVo box and a one-year service commitment is $19.95 a month or $224 prepaid * The price for a TiVo box and a two-year service commitment is $18.95 a month or $369 prepaid

I would like the delete improvement and alphabetization of "Now Playing" on my Tivo 1, as well as the Tivo 2. Since both units are paying a subscription it would seem advantageous to Tivo if I kept my Tivo one and didn't buy a Cox unit for $5 or $6/month with no charge for the unit. I don't expect...

Hello all, I got my Tivo today. I got the 40 hour series 2 because my understanding is that it is easy to upgrade the harddrive. So, I assume that I need an IDE drive, but how big can it be? can I put in a 300 Gig Drive? I read here that the second drive "Marries" the first one. Does the...
