regarding the comments on tivo i agree with some of Ben's points
regarding the dated ui. However you can now look at the guide while
watching a recorded tivo. This was a feature added close to a year
ago. I am a person who has really outgrown tivo but i often wonder
why Ben a person who only really watches tv and doesn't archive his
movies prefers media center. Granted the 4:3 interface is hideous but
Ben often talks about the out of the box 160 gig hard drive on the
tivo which isn't really a fair criticism for tivo since its so easy
to add a 1 terabyte hard drive with a small amount of hacking. I
realize that this requires a bit of hacking and would be considered a
work around but so does setting up commercial skip and auto convert
for dvrms toolbox. I'm not saying that media center isn't more
capable for somebody that spends hours writing dvrms toolbox profiles
i feel like its not fair to say that tivo comes with a 160 gb hard
drive as though it just cant be changed. Another advantage to tivo is
dual live buffers, something which no amount of hacking can fix. In
terms of added functionality I love the netflix ui another something
that media center cant really say that it has. Another thing i never
hear mentioned is stability. Stability is a major concern from me and
its the number one thing that makes me hesitant to make the jump to
media center. At any rate i agree with most of Ben's criticism of the
tivo ui but wanted to point out that it can now pull up the guide
while watching a recorded tv.]]>Nov 14th 2009 10:20AM
