| 759891 | 2009-03-26 20:15:00 | From the FAQ: Will TiVo be able to skip advertisements in New Zealand? No, although the fast forward feature does allow viewers to fast track through advertisements when viewing recorded programmes, there is no ability to skip advertisements. So why would you pay $700 + for a piece of equipment that is just another HDD recorder? The only benefit I can see (if the advertising is to be believed) is the ability to record two channels simultaneously, while watching another. Hell, I've got a VHS hooked up (as well as the HDD recorder) if there are that many programmes on at the same time that I want to watch... EDIT: Just noticed that there is an Internet hookup option too, so there may be some additional benefits.... |

| 759892 | 2009-03-26 20:40:00 | TiVo is a bit more flexible than your average HDD recorder. You can add mutiple HDD's, Network card. It is more like a MySky box than a HDD recorder. TiVo has been available for use in NZ for some time. It requires a hacked TiVo and a few mods which a bloke in Aussie does, you see the odd one on Trademe http://forums.oztivo.net/ |
