| Re: TiVo vs. DVR I'll take a stab at this.
1) Series 2 Tivo's can be networked together to move/copy shows from one location to another within the same house.
2) Content can be pulled off of networked Series 2 Tivos and dumped to a computer/ipod/dvd in the same house.
3) Amazon Unbox content can be downloaded to a Tivo for watching (Movies and TV Shows)
4) Content stored on your computer can be accessed by the Tivo for watching on TV (Photos, videos, etc.)
5) Search: The Tivo search software is arguably the best in the DVR business. It never misses shows. Its search is intuitive and easy. The latest enhancement to search: The Swivel Search is freakin' awesome:»www.tivo.com/whatistivo/tivofeat···dex.html
6) Suggestions: Tivo catalogues what you watch and suggests shows based on what you watch that it thinks you may like.
7) Expandibility: with little effort you can take that 40 hour Tivo and make it a 1000 hour Tivo. It's just a hard drive after all.
8) Tivolutionary Lodge: »www.tivocommunity.com
9) Lifetime Resale Value: I've got three lifetimed Tivo's. I could likely go out and sell those units today for about the same price I paid to acquire them. If you go the Tivo route, make sure to get lifetime (only available on the resale market, Tivo discontinued new lifetime sales about a year ago).
