Our new Tivo

Tivo Series 2 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.

The Series II starts to shine over the older model after you hook it up to your LAN with broadband. Home Media Option is a cool thing. Version 1.0 has some rockiness to it, but it's worth the $99 IMHO for easy photo browseing and MP3 playback.
