Nearly as bad as Phil's.....

Right, I have dusted the TiVo off and can report the following:

SW Ver: 1.5.2-100-023

Doesn't allow manual recording.  Now, if the documentation states that
it
does, then there is a potentially interesting challenge here.  I'm not
in
anyway condemning TiVo, but if someone bought a machine to manually
record
programmes without a subscription (assuming it had been sold as such),
then
I reckon things could get interesting.

I shall probably be arranging a lifetime sub later this month (TiVo will
be
mothballed again until then) on the basis that my TiVo is worth around
100
quid as it is now.  Hopefully with a lifetime sub, it will be worth
around
200 for the foreseeable future, as the sub is attached to the
machine.  Now
Doxey, get those KAT5 IR units ready so I can use my TiVo without having
to
have it in the sitting room ("Not another box!").  I trust
Keith will be
sitting in the corner of the pub, soldering iron in hand and being kept
constantly supplied with Diet Coke and pizza for the duration of the
London
meet ;)
