    TiVO might have won if they would just friggin' provide TV guide service to Canada, but they won't.

    That's why you get a Series 1 Tivo and hack it.

    You have to be an expert level linux hacker to get it runnning though.

    They implemented their own replacemnt for the TiVo guide server that you can run on a linux box. I think their software generates its guides using the XMLTV project. There is even a complete, step-by-step HOWTO guide. They will only give you access to the CVS server containg the needed software if you can prove that you live in Canada though (presumably to keep the TiVo people off their backs).

    You can use TiVo in Canada. Check out http://www.tivocanada.com/ and its forums.

    It can be done. Sure, it's not the real TiVo service, but it's pretty good.

    I'd buy a Tivo today, but they seem to be US only. There's pages like the TiVo Canada Setup Guide but it seems only slightly less complicated than setting up MythTV. I'd really just like to give the nice Tivo people my money and use their product.

    You call this tight lipped? It's a full step-by-step guide to doing just what you want, including source or links to who has it. Unless I'm misunderstanding you...

  9. Re:A cheapskate and you want to use a PC? by paul_pick1 · · Score: 2, Informative · on Building A Low-Budget TiVo Substitute?

    Unfortunately, Tivo is only available in the US and UK... so the rest of us have to go to strange lengths like building our own pvr or smuggling a tivo across the border, eh? :-)

    Well, the fact that it's not here makes it all the more fun, because you have to hack it to make it work here. Lotsa good info on how to make it go is available at tivocanada.com, and checkout tivo_canada at yahoo groups.

    Maybe, but here is a reason that you shouldn't discount TiVo.
