Our new Tivo
I gave Julie a Series 2 for her birthday today. We set it up and now it takes 4-8 hours while it downloads and programs itself. Pretty cool. Spendy though - the Home Media Option is another $100, and if I want broadband access (which I do), I have to buy a Wireless USB Adapter. Oh well, we figure to have it for a long, long time and we love our last one. Julie was pissed that I spent more than $50 on her birthday present, but bit her toungue because she got mad at the last Tivo I bought her and now thinks its the best birthday present ever!
On a side note, I discovered that Tivo Central Online (the site to remotely program your Tivo) is Powered By Struts - sweet!
Update: I just got the following e-mail from Julie. I guess you could say that she gives the Series 2 a thumbs down.
i think we should return tivo. i don't think it's better than the one we have now. you can view another show while recording but only if you switch the channel on the tv and watch regular tv w/out tivo. it just seems like a lot of money for no/few more options. maybe we should wait a couple years for the technology to progress.
