Re: oh, so I see how it works...
said by inteller  :Tivo gets a solution that works for them meanwhile the rest of us who have cableCARDs in our TVs (without the ability to upgrade firmware) can go fuck ourselves. fuck you TiVo. Why would you have only a cableCARD in your TV? Don't you want to time-shift programs? How did you expect to watch SDV channels?
- Get a digital box from the cable company OR
- Get the DVR from the cable company and suffer the shitty interface, no automatic rewind, no To Do List, confusing remote, no scheduling from the Web, no downloading to computer OR
- Get a TiVo HD DVR, get a beautiful interface and toss that cable company remote with 514 buttons on it, and schedule and download recorded programs from your computer.
If your TV/cableCARD only solution won't do SDV, and your cable provider is putting channels on SDV, that's the TV's responsibility to build in some sort of two-way communication so the TV can map the channels to its channels. |

No, as I pointed out, the Motorola units do not have auto-rewind at the end of a FF commercial skip. They also do not have a To Do List to see on a single page the programs scheduled to be recorded. The interface sucks and the response to the remote hangs every so often, stacking up the button commands and then releasing them all 1 minute later.
Can you do wireless downloads over your local network?
Another thing the Moto can't do is exclude channels that you do not care for. All it can do is make a Favorites list, and you have to choose Favorites each time you want to see the list or else you get all the channels.

Omaha, NE | Anything that's not encrypted. The firewire port on the cable dvr's or a tv tuner card in your pc is all you need. If you go the tv tuner route you can even capture Premium and EOD and encrypted shows. I know there not in HD. |
