Comments on: The Incomplete TiVo: Australia's HD TiVo Launch Round-Up http://incompletegamer.com/the-incomplete-tivo-australias-hd-tivo-launch-round-up.html Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:42:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Peter Russell http://incompletegamer.com/the-incomplete-tivo-australias-hd-tivo-launch-round-up.html/comment-page-1#comment-30 Peter Russell Wed, 16 Jul 2008 08:11:11 +0000 http://incompletegamer.com/?p=224#comment-30 At last I have found somewhere to read what is actually going on (should I say not going on?)with TiVo. I cannot agree more with you "Incomplete Gamer" in the articles you have posted. I to cannot believe the lack of information available for the device that will go on sale within a week. I dropped into my local Harvey Norman and Domayne stores only yesterday and the total lack of knowledge by sales personnel and or specification/data sheets stunned me. As for the web site, what good is it doing them? I had signed up for email updates and I have had only the initial welcome email! Apart from recording shows so as to watch when I have the time, there are three reasons why I would purchase a TiVo: 1. Ease of use - I need a device that my wife can program (will not read operating manuals and why should we anyway if the system is designed correctly!) 2. Internet connectivity - for scheduling and remote access (but need the wireless adaptor). 3. Reliability - hopefully it will match the USA stats, but with friends battling endless issues with other PVRs such as the Topfield 7000, it would have to be very bad not to purchase. Keep up the good work. At last I have found somewhere to read what is actually going on (should I say not going on?)with TiVo.

I agree TiVo has done a terrible marketing job - six months of silent running means it's coming from a standing start against Foxtel's iQ2. Even so, as I've said over at PC Authority, TiVo v Foxtel makes good headlines but I don't actually think the TiVo and iQ2 really represent too much of a threat to each other; TiVo HD v Foxtel iQ2 - let the games begin Silicon Lust by Adam Turner http://www.pcauthority.com.au/BlogEntry/115870,tivo-hd-v-foxtel-iq2--let-the-games-begin.aspx Thanks for picking up on my yarns.
