box
are just FAT32 formatted 7200rpm drives
Yeah..think that's right Tim, from memory it's
actually easier to add drives to Sky+ than TiVo.
> One thing I have noticed is that Tivo
owners do seem to be evangelical in their support
Yep. But you know what...They're RIGHT
to
be! And I am coming from SS and was sceptical about how much better
it
could be. I was wrong (OK Ken!!!) ;-P
> If it is so great why has take up been so
slow, yet with Sky+ they can’t make enough of the
things?
Hmmmm....where's the evidence for that?
I
was in my local Currys on Friday and they were sold out of TiVo but had
loads of Sky+ Darren had to drive to 2 separate Currys for our two
TiVos on Saturday - we buy most things together so we can say to SWMBO
Darren/Mark made me buy it ;-))
I think there marketing has been utter crap up
until now too. I consider myself a gadget junkie but I was unaware of
a lot of the stuff this box can do. Their mag and TV ads were wacky
but totally uninformative. They need something simple and easy to
understand for the masses.
Like all these "discussion" it comes down to
the individuals choice. I went for TiVo for my reasons. You
should go for Sky+ for yours.
> Who
doesn’t mean to, but always seems to take the contrarian’s view

The world wouldn't seem right if you didn't
;)
Now...we'd better stop before someone calls
for
a TiVo spin-off group to be created!
