The one thing holding me back from dropping far too much money on an HDTV set (and perhaps an update to my stereo/home theater) has been my TiVo. I’m just plain sold on the thing and as long as my TiVo doesn’t do HDTV, neither do I.
Well, that’s going to change perhaps as soon as this year.
Key bits:
- Dual tuner — Record two programs at once!
- CableCARD compatible (2.0 or 1.0 — if you have 2.0 you only need one card for the dual tuner action)
- Up to “300 hours” storage (I assume that’s non-HDTV content)
- An SATA port for adding a hot little external drive with no warantee-voiding hacking needed.
Damn, that sounds like everything I’ve wanted.
I guess I’m doomed to continue to be the guy with the iPod, the TiVo and the stupid car with manual locks.
That’s frigging pissah. As long as they make one that records DVDs. I ain’t giving up that function. I also just ordered a wireless USB thingy so I can get my Tivo shows on the computer.
I covet the HDTV flat screens and the surround sound systems. I stand there and gaze at them longingly like a little kid in front of the GI JOE Cobra Base in the toy department during the 80s.
I also covet power locks/windows on the whip.
I just came a little
Hey broz… ‘about all that coveting you’re doing, dude?’…it sure sounds like a bad case of “techno-voyeurism” to me!
Indeed, Bruce. Indeed.
