My SS setup is
very
stable. Dedicated PC.
Here’s a screen shot I took a good while back for the review
(it’s on
the list) showing some of the stuff I use it
for…
http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/images/ss_record.jpg
It is missing the
some of the finer features of TiVo – like
the record
all season and thumbs up/down – but a 4.99 a year for Digiguide instead of 10.00 a _month_ for TiVo I can live without
it.
Now if Sky Plus
was
199 quid I would be seriously tempted.

I would say
stability
It just works all the time
The only time mine doesn't record is if the IR to the
Sky
box goes wrong
And that would
happen with any system until sky let us control the box
with
the serial
port
Showshifter seems pretty
basic as well when it comes to control/selection
I've just put together another system using the
Matrox450etv card
A good toy
but
I can never see the system being as seamless as the TiVo
is
My 2d
worth

As you say inexcusable.
Is there any benefit in getting TIVO over a decent PC
and
Showshifter?
