Your post and my last one overlapped, which
happens
to me constantly here. But I agree with your point, which I think I made in
some
ways my last post, without mentioning anything about people's
ages!
Nice that someone can see both
sides.

I think everyone agrees there. SS
is
*not* for your average user.

I think that was the point of the
post. Where you have room for just one
box, the only box which
will
do everything is a PC. BTW, this is going to
sound insulting to
some,
and for this, I apologise, but, I've noticed that
the older generation
(by
this, I mean most people over 40, and some in their
30s - I'm early 20s,
so
anything over 25 is old!) don't like
multi-functional boxes. There
seems to be this thought that a box can only
do one thing at a
time.
Where you can do multiple things with one box just
as well as a
multitude
of boxes (which is not the case with Tivo, ATM), why
not? It's
efficient.
> Fair enough, stick with SS then. Me I like my
"noddy"
point and click

more
to the point. ;-)
Agreed. Tivo is very good at what it does,
and
better than SS at the
moment, especially for a plug-n-play device.
Whether it'll remain this way
is to be
seen.
