  1. DivX support! by Thing+1 · · Score: 1 · on ReplayTV's Remote Remote

    I sent ReplayTV an email requesting them to add DivX support in one of their nightly downloads.

    According to this link, DivX takes just 15% of the space that MPEG-2 takes (the format used for DVDs, my satellite, and my ReplayTV).

    If they could just add the software codec, then it would turn my 20 hour player into a 133 hour player!

    It would even be worth paying $100 extra for this download. Not that I'm asking them to charge me, just that I understand how the market works (nobody does something for nothing except college kids). ;-)
