What is TiVo and how much does it cost?

Question

And where do you get it at?

Answer 1

Sod renting! If you use cable then get two boxes; buy a DVR with a hard disk and you can time shift to your hearts content and watch different channels - wahooo! Also if using cable (UK included) you can then get a special box to watch all channels :0) - much cheaper than satelite.

Or so I'm told ;-)

But seriously, once you understand what TiVo and Sky+ do you need to consider how you will use them. Main advantages are watching one whilst recording another - easily done with a cheap recorder and 2 boxes. Time shift live TV? Only need one box plus a DVR... etc etc.
