When all you have to do is pay sky $99 for my sky HDI and you have in excess of 100 channels and does the same as tivo + sky announced last week that more features will available on its set top boxes (my sky hdi) later this year. |

| 864594 | 2010-03-07 09:49:00 | $99 for MySky HDI, PLUS an ongoing monthly fee for the subscription. And in my experience, more channels does not necessarily translate to a greater quantity of quality viewing. |

| 864595 | 2010-03-07 10:08:00 | The thing that annoys me every time I see the tivo ad on TV, is the woman saying you can view tv on your itouch. There is no such thing as an itouch, it's an ipod touch or an iphone. Doesn't instill me with much confidence when they don't know the names of the technology. Plus the fact that TVNZ are now getting into bed with Sky TV, with broadcasting older NZ TV programs on a pay only TV channel, ignoring both Tivo and Freeview, which are formats they have a financial stake in. It is almost as though they are trying to degrade the value of freeview and tivo. |

| 864596 | 2010-03-07 11:03:00 | Seems that many people know the iPod Touch as the iTouch (sounds vaguely wanky to me!): . lmgtfy . com/?q=itouch" target="_blank">www . lmgtfy . com It does seem odd that TVNZ and Sky are playing together (although Sky transmit all the free-to-air channels, as well as their own expensive offerings) . I suspect there are a couple of departments at TVNZ that are not aware of what the other department is up to . You get that with the big jobs (you can interpret "jobs" the way a parent describes excrement to a child, if you so wish) |

| 864598 | 2010-03-07 19:35:00 | $99 for MySky HDI, PLUS an ongoing monthly fee for the subscription . Being with Ihug I can't even think of a good reason to get MySky for free every month as part of their offereing . |

| 864599 | 2010-03-07 20:25:00 | I'm with johcar, I signed up for TiVo and have been stoaked ever since. Previously I had one of the Vantage HD 6000T/NZ boxes, cost me ~$250 (Without a HDD), but they were far from ideal. Sure it was good for viewing HDTV from, and it gave me a taste of what a real PVR could be like, but it crashed regularly (I had the latest firmware), the recordings weren't reliable, the navigation nowhere near as nice, the EPG was an epic failure and there was no easy way for me to get recordings off the box, even though I was recording to an external HDD. Sure if they've only sold 2 -> 3,000 since the start of the campaign the they're incredibly short, but let's be realistic and say that if they're hoping for market penetration of 120,000 homes, then that's potentially 25% over the next 5 years. Keep in mind that as a country we're all still coming out of a recession, and you'll see that the goal is incredibly optimistic in anybodies book, especially considering many people aren't accustomed to the whole idea of "Watch when I feel like", or the other great PVR features like "Pause / rewind live TV". No more need to take in / out tapes from the VCR ;) Fail article IMO, but I'm biased, I love my TiVo... |
