I just cannot believe it's taken them this many YEARS to introduce one.  Unfortunately, as much as I love my Tivo and think it's simply the "best" solution out there, the other options such as MythTV and MCE are getting close enough that I might have to spend my money on one of those when I do upgrade.  Especially now that they do not offer the lifetime subscription option either and I'm not a big fan of open-ended monthly bills...<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2006 4:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo to release 180-hour, dual tuner Series 2 box]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/26/tivo-to-release-180-hour-dual-tuner-series-2-box/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/26/tivo-to-release-180-hour-dual-tuner-series-2-box/</guid><description><![CDATA[Meh.  For what tivos cost after subscription fees, you could buy a couple HD tuner cards, a 300GB hard drive, and some sort of wireless AV setup to get the signal from your computer to your TV and stereo.  And adding space would be cheaper.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[charlie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2006 6:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo to release 180-hour, dual tuner Series 2 box]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/26/tivo-to-release-180-hour-dual-tuner-series-2-box/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/26/tivo-to-release-180-hour-dual-tuner-series-2-box/</guid><description><![CDATA[@ #4<br><br>except that tivo will record hbo and the like while your hd tuner cards will only be able to record ota signals.  not knocking mce, just one of the faults it has :(]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[the godfather]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2006 7:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo to release 180-hour, dual tuner Series 2 box]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/26/tivo-to-release-180-hour-dual-tuner-series-2-box/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/26/tivo-to-release-180-hour-dual-tuner-series-2-box/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hello people!<br>I got a question. Is it possible to extend the recording capacity by buynig a bigger hardrive or buy one extra or so? 180 is very good and I guess that's enough but sometomes you might want to save stuff for a long time and I see how at least I would run out of space pretty quick if I owned one of these. So it is possible to just plug in a bigger HDD or maybe pay Tivo to do so?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karl Viklund]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2006 7:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo to release 180-hour, dual tuner Series 2 box]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/26/tivo-to-release-180-hour-dual-tuner-series-2-box/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/26/tivo-to-release-180-hour-dual-tuner-series-2-box/</guid><description><![CDATA[@#6: Check out www.weaknees.com. I've purchased a number of large pre-imaged drives from them. You just pop one (or two) in your tivo (with tools they provide) and you're good to go! They'll even do it for you for a small fee, with a quick turna around.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[willink]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2006 7:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo to release 180-hour, dual tuner Series 2 box]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/26/tivo-to-release-180-hour-dual-tuner-series-2-box/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/26/tivo-to-release-180-hour-dual-tuner-series-2-box/</guid><description><![CDATA[Weaknees are great. I dropped my 40 hour series 2 off to them here in LA and picked it up the next day. The upgrade maxxed it out at 260 hours. <br>The problem with these older tivo's is that once you start filling them up the response to button presses in the menu mode is erratic and often extremely slow. I think the upgrade for this sort of thing is a replacement card but it's not the sort of thing weaknees does, and rather, it's a sort of a hack. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mart]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2006 8:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo to release 180-hour, dual tuner Series 2 box]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/26/tivo-to-release-180-hour-dual-tuner-series-2-box/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/26/tivo-to-release-180-hour-dual-tuner-series-2-box/</guid><description><![CDATA[When is the Series 3 coming out anyway?

Don't the STB's only let you watch one channel at a time? So would you need two STB's from your cable company do record two shows simultaneously on the tivo?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Energy_Guru]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2006 7:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo to release 180-hour, dual tuner Series 2 box]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/26/tivo-to-release-180-hour-dual-tuner-series-2-box/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/26/tivo-to-release-180-hour-dual-tuner-series-2-box/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is a bit misleading. With my cable company (Comcast in the Southern California area) you can't receive any channels without one of their settop boxes. So two channel recording without cablecard is pretty pointless unless you want to get two cable boxes. Do they have any way to send separate IR signals? In theory you could have two cable boxes and could shield the fronts so that only IR from the IR blaster could get to them. But if the IR blaster sends out the same signal to both boxes, it wouldn't work. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BBOCK]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2006 8:20AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
