| 1261350 | 2012-02-27 23:20:00 | TiVo is just a Freeview box (with what I consider to be the best UI, and a 14 day EPG). Doesn't cost anything after the purchase price. | johcar (6283) | ||
| 1261351 | 2012-02-28 00:53:00 | So why are the tivos not more popular? $300 is a good price for a freeview box that records 2 channels. So it has to be connected to the net the whole time for the EPG to work? or can you just hook it up once a week, seems a bit weird it doesn't just get it over the airwaves like everyother freeview box |

It will take a huge advertising budget or a lot of time for people to forget that. Combined with the fact they don't support DLNA, anyone who asks their techie friend "should I buy a Tivo?" will be met with a resounding NO!. |
