| 1261357 | 2012-02-28 06:13:00 | We have a TIVO and they are good! Where else can you find a Hard Drive, dual channel recorder at that price. Virtually the same price as a Freeview decoder! It will pause/record live TV. Virtually the same as MYSKY. Records in HD too. If you are a customer of XTRA anything that you download via the TIVO doesnt cut into your broadband allocation. You can even remote in from anywhere on a PC or Smartphone and set up a program to record. Once the stock has cleared I expect that will be the end of TIVO sales but they will still be useful for years to come. | muzza (7316) | ||
| 1261358 | 2012-02-29 20:50:00 | Does a Tivo allow you to play back media which you have stored elsewhere on your home network? | decibel (11645) | ||
| 1261359 | 2012-02-29 20:52:00 | ... It will pause/record live TV. ... Records in HD too ... .. Can you record to a NAS box elsewhere on your network? Or perhaps transfer the file after recording is finished. |

| 1261360 | 2012-02-29 21:29:00 | If you buy the optional network software you can transfer media to and from the TiVo, otherwise no. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1261361 | 2012-02-29 21:32:00 | Does a Tivo allow you to play back media which you have stored elsewhere on your home network? Yes, if you have the Home Networking Package, including the "TiVo Desktop" application. Format is *.tivo, but there are multiple format converters in the application and you can watch a TiVo format file via WMP. Can you record to a NAS box elsewhere on your network? Or perhaps transfer the file after recording is finished. No - apart from their own external HDD (expensive). Second question, see above. |

| 1261362 | 2012-02-29 21:41:00 | Sorry, answered wrong. If you have the home networking package you CAN transfer files to the TiVo AVI, MKV are playable, and probably other formats as well |

AVI and MOV are fine.. There is a TiVo update being rolled out now but mine hasn't been updated yet so se if it's any better.. |

| 1261365 | 2012-03-01 06:38:00 | TIVO is huge in other countries. They really screwed up here didn't they? | pine-o-cleen (2955) | ||
| 1261366 | 2012-03-01 07:14:00 | TIVO is huge in other countries. They really screwed up here didn't they? Down with telecom, will they ever get anything right? They need to pay their CEO 5 mill, that might do it.? |
