Comment What is Wrong with ReplayTV? (Score 1) 134
As others have noted, ReplayTV can already do most if not all of this. I believe ReplayTV even allows you to program recordings/manage it over the web (and therefore from a PDA or phone ...). Furthermore, they do not impose unnecessary restrictions on their users -- they allow program sharing over the broadband connection and automatic commercial skipping.
Why isn't ReplayTV more of a player? They seem a distant second to TiVo ... or any new PVR that another company puts out. Are people afraid that they won't last against the possible legal litigation? Are they just too expensive (my excuse ... for now)? Is the mandatory broadband connection holding them back?
I would think ReplayTV would be the darling of Slashdot. Are they not running Linux on their boxes or what? ;)
