Re: Tivo enabled TV

     Having not found the Thomson web site I have been = unable to
check myself. I have had another look for suppliers and Miller
Brothers are advertising same for =A3499 and do advertise it with Tivo
on their web site.
    Obviously what is not clear from any of the suppliers is= whether
the Tivo is an external unit or not. Certainly the little labels
associated with the tv's in Powerhouse clearly stated that Tivo was
included but not subscription, they did not say whether it was
external or not but from 1st glance at label I would have assumed as
possibly many others would that tivo was integral to tv.
    Arn't the Tivo boxes manufactured by Thomson?
