*: included with $800 hardware purchase and $ONE INFANT CHILD/month subscription fee.


What I don't understand is why anybody would shell out that kind of money when for the same amount you could build a Myth box completely from scratch and have enough left over for a small (SD) TV -- and never pay anybody a dime in subscription fees.]]>Nov 14th 2006 12:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/Nov 14th 2006 7:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/One AOL owned website revealing the idiocy of another...]]>Nov 14th 2006 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/
Oh and Cory, the $25 fee mentioned is for the "Plus upgrade codec pack" as you can see in the article. This upgrade let's you transfer video to your iPod/PSP. And in deed it does cost $25. The Tivo Desktop program itself has always been free... but if you want the upgrade you've got to pay.]]>Nov 14th 2006 5:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/If this is the best TiVo can come up it's a sad day.]]>Nov 14th 2006 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/Nov 14th 2006 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/

Let me know when they enable high def downloads directly to the TIVO box w/o the use of the computer (ala XBOX video live). Then I'll be interested in TIVO downloads.]]>Nov 14th 2006 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/I've had this feature for the past 2 years on my ReplayTV. And better than what Tivo is proposing. Not only can I transfer any show (HBO movies, regular tv shows, etc.) from a fellow ReplayTV owner, it's completely free to me.

Tivo has become a bloated corporate cash monger. They don't offer lifetime subscriptions anymore and they've raised their rates.

Long live ReplayTV!]]>Nov 14th 2006 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/Nov 14th 2006 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/tivo-adds-pc-based-video-downloads-tivo-to-tivocasting-cbs-con/
For one, they are still in business.

How many companies has Replay bankrupted so far? Three? Yeah, that's what we thought. Hardware wise, its dead, Jim.

Now, with that having been said, it would be nice if they'd cut the price of the S3 and brought back the lifetime subscription option.

And for the perennial MythTV suggestor, MythTV does not work with CableCard. Suggesting MythTV in comparison to a TiVo S3 is like trying to assert that your car is just as energy efficient as a hybrid by saying you can add a Mr. Fusion to it.]]>Nov 14th 2006 6:51PM
