Re:Is Tivo still relevant? (Score 1)

I think the complaints you have are revelant, but to the early adopters to TiVo series 1 there aren't these problems. My unit will be 7 years old this December and no problems. I got to mod the box with a bigger hard drive and with then lifetime service for $50 after rebate. I never had any problems. There are even projects doing what TiVoToGo does today like MPlayer. I would say get an older unit from eBay. The kicker is they have to support it and the OS had not needed any upgrades since verison 3.

Because of TiVo's first success there are now MythTV, Snapstrean. and Miscrosoft's Media Center. Imatition is a form of flattery.
