I agree that most of YouTube is crap.

This is for series 3s and HDs, not earlier units.
But why? Most You Tube Videos look crap on a small computer display.
Imagine how much worse it's going to look on a 50" Plasma display?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20171713 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 22:01:22 EDT Re: I love my Tivo http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20171377 RadioDoc : You can still get the multi-service discount on additional boxes for $9.95 a month or $99 per year.

I've got a series 3 HD hooked up to my 42" Toshiba LCD and an OTA antenna and it's amazingly good. Beats the snot out of what Comcast tries to pass off as HD here.

Ah, ok. Darn! Well, I doubt I will be getting a Series 3 as my Sony Series 1 TiVo and two Series 2's are working just fine for the moment. Though HD would be nice on my 47" Vizio LCD HDTV. The only thing that burns me is that the last time I checked, TiVo now charges full price for add-on boxes.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20171295 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 20:19:37 EDT Re: I love my Tivo http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20171022 davemau :

Does YouTube keep the full quality uploads of the videos so they can go back and re-encode all of the vids later as the codecs improve?

The shaky or high motion videos on YouTube suck due to them being .flv's and the horribly low bit rate they use. Even then, my CPU fan on my laptop cranks really high when watching YouTube vids. Can Series 2 Tivo's handle the CPU load?
I would think they do because they re-encoded their entire library to h.264 for apple and the iphone/ipod touch since neither device has flash.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20171022 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 19:19:28 EDT Re: I love my Tivo http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20170766 NJxxxJon :

On the other hand, I'd love to get hulu content on my TiVo, especially when they start going hi-def.
