May have to trawl through links further down the page for smaller download size photos as the initial ones are huge.


Obviously US only and no chance of ever seeing these in the UK, but you can see what we're missing anyway.


Edit: Note that this appears to be a cable-only box with built in cable tuners (includes HD support), doesn't connect to external boxes. Works with analogue and digital cable in the US thanks to open standards they have there. In an ideal world, NTL/Telewest would buy into this but sadly they've gone their own way with PVRs and the like and I don't think their encryption system will be compatible with third-party boxes. I guess they may do Series 3 for satellite over there at some point.

My TiVo box is looking rather sad right now... :(

Nice bit of kit. As you say, why companies over here seem intent on developing their own PVR front ends rather than just buying software from Tivo to run on their hardware I never understand.

It's a pity that we won't get something like that over here. My TiVo is still my favourite and most often used "electronic gadget" after my PC.

I wonder if a UK TiVo relaunch would be more successful today now that people are more used to the idea of paying a monthly subscription for watching TV on top of their TV Licence, and Sky+ has popularised hard-disc recorders? :?:
