There are plenty of ways to get your favorite TV shows onto your iPod, but if for some reason you don't want to frequent the iTunes store or have to endure tedious conversion processes, iLuv has a new dock that takes your computer out of the equation altogether and records directly from almost any video source. Before you get too excited, though, you should know that iLuv's got no love for electronic program guides, so you actually have to be sitting by your TV to manually trigger each recording -- which severely limits this device's utility as a DVR. Obviously, then, the main selling point of the so-called i180 is the ability to transfer footage from your camcorder, and adjustable quality settings up to 1.5Mbps probably ensure that it performs this function pretty well. Still, we doubt most people would be willing to pay $200 to save a few minutes here and there transferring the occasional home movie, so it sounds like you should really hold on to that PC after all.[Via iLounge]
Hmmm, I think they could have done a much better job designing this, especially at the price it's going for. With the features it comes with there's almost no point in buying it. Your PC can do a much better job!
People think you're a homo anyway, John Quinn.
Someone's about to get a whole load of bad press...
Two hundred dollars?
What, why?
One flaw in your thoughts. Instead of recording live tv, hook this up to your Tivo and record at you whim. Works for me!
This seems like an ok-ay product. But it's definately NOT for me. I'd rather just use iTunes.
the link to the above product reveals personal details of someones account - including personal info, shopping cart details etc.
You may want to change the link so that his account details don't show to the world - you may want to let iLounge know as well.
As Preston Waters said on Blank Check, "200 Dollars!!! That could take a million years!"
I would pay 45-50 dollars for this. No more.
Why isn't this on the iLuv web site? I really need this, and I can't find one to buy.
