I don't think we do know that £1 = $1. It used to, but these days,
I'm
seeing far closer prices.
My guess is that the ReplayTV pricing will be based on the market
competitors at the time of launch...
After all, a TiVo (albeit at TiVo2) costs $399, plus $250 for the
lifetime
service. So by comparison, the ReplayTV (which, AIUI includes the service)
costs
only $50 more... about 8% more.
On that basis, a ReplayTV_UK including service would cost maybe
£450...
I'd be prepared to pay the extra £50 for the benefits of a ReplayTV
over a
TiVo.
Regards,
Mark

And
we all know that we usually get 1£=1$. Unfortunatelly
:-(.

Is it?
I'm surprised that you know the price for the UK ReplayTV, given
that SB still haven't set it :-)

Yes, but price is higher...
When it's down to TiVo's price (box + subscription + turbonet =
£500-600) then the choice is simple.

I looked at the ReplayTV site
today. If they start distributing these in Europe it's a no
brainer...
1.No Subscription
2.Built-in Ethernet that
allows you to a) Send recordings to friends over the internet, b) if
you have more than one ReplayTV box they will 'talk' to each other,
meaning that you can play a recording that's stored on one box (say
in the living room) over the LAN to one in say the
bedroom...
3. web interface allowing you to start/program
recordings from anywhere that has a net connection...
4. Skip
ads...
5. DIGITAL audio out
6. Capacities from 40 hours to
320 hours
7. Store your digital photos and watch slide shows on
television
... I think this box kicks Tivo in the
backside...
