RE: ShowShifter vs. TiVo

["Phillip Harris" <phil@xxxxxxx>]

OK ... you stick with a PC and Showshifter. You're not going to change
your
mind.

Just like our esteemed leader was banging on at me about how good
Showshifter is and how he could never see the point of getting a TiVo
as
they were overpriced and weren't flexible and had all these problems...

...now I don't think you'll find a stauncher supporter of the
capabilities
of a TiVo ... Showshifter just doesn't compare.

You can share programs really easily as TiVo hooks upto you VCR as
well.
When recording programs to VCR you just choose a save to tape option.
Of
course the disadvantage here is that you are going from a digital source
to
an analogue one.

TiVO will probably never support digital video extraction since Replay
TV
the (US competition to TV) got sued for providing that functionality.

i am not putting down tivo at all but i have questions as to use.
what happens if you record a program and then want to share it
with someone. how do you give them copy ? 
what happens in the following in the following well know situations
A friends asks,  "can you please record eastenders for me i
forgot to set my
video" 
Am i right in thinking you cannot share programmes recorded unless you
copy
over
to ARGH vhs ?

Some of the guys particularly Don and Justin have been doing just that
on
the Turbonet forum with varying degrees of success AFAIK. Once I get a
card
I'll start playing around with it myself.

TiVo is native Linux so I have no idea how it works, it just does. But
and,
listen up Linux peeps, if Linux could run all the software I wanted and
it
ran as well as TiVo I would be doing rather a few OS installs, yes I
would
get rid of my Windows, it is *that good* ;-)
