TiVo does most of what I need a HTPC to do in one neat box. No blasters to worry about.

Besides with a lifetime sub and cable cards that I bought outright, it costs less per month than paying $10 for a Cable STB and there's much less lag when changing channels. Not to mention that dual tuners will cost $20 if I rent two cable STBs.

Most bang for my buck, IMO.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-TiVo-has-this-22066414 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 23:07:10 EDT Re: TiVo has this http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-TiVo-has-this-22065880 It allows you to change channels on a cable/sat box with the computer's remote control.
Or, just use it as a secondary input - HDMI 2.
Cable box for cable and Channel 1 On Demand, HTPC for DVD/Blu-ray/Internet/video files...

Either way... :)

Without cablecard or a cableco STB I can't decode three quarters of the HD channels I pay for.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-TiVo-has-this-22065177 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 18:50:19 EDT Re: TiVo has this http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-TiVo-has-this-22064886 said by fifty nine:

TiVo has had YouTube capability for almost a year now.

Facebook and Twitter TiVo doesn't have, but it's not something I really care about.

But listen to this - even if TiVo doesn't have it today, someone can write a HME app to make the functionality available. Try THAT on a FiOS DVR!
Agreed!

Also: HTPC - Can play anything from anywhere on the internet right on the ole TV.

Can even use a laptop as the "remote"! ;)
Stream music, video, Youtube, DSLReports, check email, anything!
