Tivo changes your life, it is excellent. It means the few good things
that are on you can watch when you want and at your own pace. Only advice I can think of is be aware Tivo has a fan in it that is noisey so you may not want to set it up in a bedroom.

The Tivo has dual tuners in it, but they only work if they run two physical cables to the dish. I'd also ask specifically for a phase-III dish with triple LNB. Sooner or later, you'll probably want HD and it is possible that your locals may be on one of the other satellites anyway. We've got a direct tivo and a HDTivo. Love them both. I almost never watch live tv anymore. The Tivo is always on, gets the stuff I want to see so I can watch it when I want to. Movies in HD are actually better than DVD playback - so the HD-Tivo has supplanted a lot of the DVD watching we used to do. HBO an Showtime both have HD channels, as well as HDNet. The HD Tivo also does local off-the-air HD. -- Dr. Nuketopia Sorry, no e-Mail. Spam forgeries have resulted in thousands of faked bounces to my address. |
