    I use an N dedicated wireless bridge (shares with a couple of other devices) and find that an HD television show transfers slightly faster than play speed. What is the usual performance with the G adapter? #wifi

    @Canoehead: i use a wireless G bridge shared with other devices and i don't have any trouble streaming The Office in HD. admittedly the other devices are not usually active, but the wireless network is running mixed mode and has some active N devices on it too. was thinking about upgrading the N-bridge, but i'd still need a legacy base station for Wii and PS3 :-p #wifi

    @Accelerata: I put in the bridge to feed the Tivo, Popcorn Hour and Wii in the bedroom. It works pretty well, and was a lot cheaper than a proper cable run. #wifi

    The Wifi speed for the Tivo ain't the real problem with Tivo. They really need to address the other shortcomings. #wifi

    Audi5000 most cards these days handle HD, at least ATSC OTA. Maybe clear QAM (with appropriate drivers/software) as well. However, I can't recommend this package over Windows Media Center. #tivo

    In reply to Blockbuster Appears on TiVos Today
    The interface is going to have 500 pictures of the boxes for "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past", and "27 Dresses" but I won't be able to find "Run Lola Run" anywhere. When I finally end up picking some movie I didn't even really want to see, out of frustration, I am going to wait 10 minutes to finish the transaction. While I am waiting, they are going to put a pop-up on the screen to get me to buy Butterfingers and Popcorn.

    @suburbancowboy: When the movie finally finishes downloading, it will actually turn out to be a copy of Munich. You'll immediately call Blockbuster and "return" the movie. You'll even be generous (read: too exasperated to care) and not demand the refund you deserve. Several weeks later, they'll call you about the movie you rented, claiming you never returned it. They will demand you pay a "re-server-ing fee."

    In reply to BlackBerry-Toting TiVo Addicts: You Are No Longer Without an App
    It seems strange that they released a BlackBerry App before an iPhone App.

    There are a couple apps that let you schedule Tivo recordings from your iPhone, but nothing officially from Tivo.

    Its about time Charlie Ergen gets his. I worked Briefly for DishNetwork until I found out that pays his employees the bare minimum (that is putting it mildly), and no real perks. He's a cheapskate.

    In reply to i.TV 2.0 iPhone App Adds Push Notifications and TiVo Remote
    One thing that sucks about this is that they always show primetime as 6-9 PM and then 9-12. That makes you have to scroll and wait for it to load the next time slot. What they should do is show primetime as 8-11 on a single page. Makes it more useful.

    In reply to i.TV 2.0 iPhone App Adds Push Notifications and TiVo Remote
    The TiVo remote is bad ass. Wish I had something that could receive that. Universal controller built in would make this great (or, in my case, xBox360 controller, since that's my only media provider to my TV.)

    I really love the ability to add things to your instant queue on Netflix, however - keeps me from having to boot up my computer just to watch something on the TV through the xbox. Would be nicer if it was more geared towards browsing -- right now you basically have to search for a movie and then click "add to queue" to see if instant is an option.

    Not that I know. I believe the DVR doesn't have a wifi card in it too. So, there is a 99% chance no app or program can control it.

    Eh, I don't mind this so much. Unlike the patent trolls out there, the folks at TiVo actually did manage to bring a product to market, and a damn good product at that.

    Isn't TiVo irrelevant now? Cable company DVRs are getting decent (ex. U-Verse) and alternate programming sources like Hulu and Netflix don't need to be time shifted.

    @dingus: No, nothing works quite as nice as a TiVo. It's not the individual capabilities, so much as how they've managed to put it all together in a single package that has a good user feel to it.

    @Bustout: You know, I said the same thing for years. Then I tried UVerse at my mom's (she was in a test market). No, it isn't exactly as nice. But considering my upgrade path from my dying S1 at the time was $1k for a S3 and lifetime transfer AND fighting with TWC to get CableCard, I decided to jump ship. It does everything my old TiVo did except make show recommendations that I find insulting.

    I think TiVo is on the downfall since customers no longer see the value vs. the ever improving rental DVR. TiVo has always been on shaky ground, but because it was the only game in town (after it stomped ReplayTV) people had a reason to drop that kind of money.

    @dingus: While I haven't used the UVerse system yet, I love my TiVo HD! I have astound at home and their support rocks. I was able to get a couple of cable cards in a couple of days. I still have my S2 as well and we use it to catch shows when the two tuners are already in use on the HD however there are so many other features that make the TiVo great. I love being able to use it to send almost any video I want to it from my pc. I love being able to pull the video from the TiVo and send it to my PSP or iPhone. Netflix streaming is sweet. So is the ability to watch youtube as well as web videos through RSS feeds. This is all on top of the really nice interface that TiVo already had for recording and watching shows.
