Just bought one of these babies and I'm very pleased with it!

For those who don't know, a TiVo is a digital recorder. Bascially learns your likes and dislikes and automatically records programs for you! (Lots of Simpsons for me then! wink)

Are you a gadget freak? Whats the best thing you've got, or wanna get?

mah
I want one of Sonys digital dogs..Aibo aint it?

queeq
How much does it costs then?

Raz

queeq
Not too bad.

yerssot

queeq

yerssot

Raz
I hope thats a good thing!

yerssot
extremely!
so no tivo thingie for me

queeq
You can probably order one via the internet.

yerssot
with a credit card I don't own

Raz
I don't think Yerssot can use the internet wink

yerssot
no, I don't like hacking into such big companies as Ebay and Amazon...although the last one wouldn't notice it

Tex
Tivo is pretty old.
It came out like 5 years ago.

Frankly not too many good programs on TV to warrant getting Tivo.

Dexx
i don't think i'd need one for 40 channels...well...41 but that one's after midnightbig grin

yerssot
asked it here, isn't out

Tex
$600???? eek!
Way too much.

Way back in the 90s they used to have these TiVo infomercials on all the time, and they we're selling for $300.

Now you can get them for $199.
That's cause a bunch of companies make them now.
It used to be that only TiVo made the devices, but now you can get them from Microsoft, Panasonic, Phillips, Sony, and RePlay-TV.
Infact Microsoft is planning on putting a digital video recorder in XBOX2.

Get me a Windows XP w/ a flat screen, a digital camcorder, and some TiVo-tasticness and I'll be satisfied for about a century. big grin big grin

I'm at school. The computers are much faster here. Probably because they are using less hard-drive info.

Dexx
