Re: my neighbor loves his The "whole house DVR" concept was squashed by the CE industry as a violation of copyright. It used to be in ReplayTV's and its one of the reasons SonicBlue/ReplayTV was sued in to oblivion. So Tivo doesn't have it because they were forced not to have it.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the feature as I was a ReplayTV owner. But you can't hang that one around Tivos neck.
Now that the FCC and Cablelabs are "unclenching" a little and allowing innivation again I really hope Tivo builds a new DVR.
I have an S3 and an HD and I am happy to pay the service fee as long as I NEVER have to use the Comcast SARA interface EVER AGAIN. (It's really that bad.) |

| What are you talking about.. The whole house DVR thing is very much alive, depending on its implementation, I have 2 tivos as well, and I watch shows on both from both. The downside is that the Tivo networking, even wired at 100meg, is horribly slow and streaming frequently result in a pause for buffering. |

Well Tivo doesn't really "stream" shows to other DVR's in your house like ReplyTV used to do. Tivo makes a copy of your show from one DVR to another. So its kind of different.
The only thing on a Tivo that "streams" per se is Amazon, Netflix, and YouTube. |

The HD Directivo has been "right around the corner" for about 2 years now. I'll believe it when I see it so that I can finally retire the 2 SD boxes that we still have. |
