Tivo Announces Dual Tuner Upgrade

ethaz writes "Tivo has announced dual tuner support in version 2.5 of it's software for DirecTV-capable Tivos (DTivos). So much for Ultimate TV's advantage." Too bad it's only DIRECTV TiVos - with the larger hard drive, better output, my TiVo pales in comparasion.

    Mutha, Don't wanna go to school today

    They keep calling asking me
    If I'll come in
    Is that a sin
    If being lazy is the only reason

    It's getting late
    So, Mutha don't you hesitate
    To pack my lunch
    And I'll be on my way to school

    Always said to one another
    That the truth will always hurt
    If you keep waiting
    I said waiting

I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Turly an American icon.

      Louis Armstrong, trumpet player and Jazz pioneer, died yesterday morning in his Los Angeles home. He was 71. Armstrong's last performance was at James Madison University's Convocation Center on March 24, 2001, where he played to a standing room only 5,000. Armstrong was helped off the stage by his wife of 20 years, and he later told a reporter for the campus newspaper "I don't know how much longer I can do this. This may be one of my last shows." His final song was his biggest hit, Hello Dolly! He is survived by his wife, 3 children and 6 grandchildren.

    I have a Cox cable, and when I got the girlfriend service, she showed me how to "boot-up" the box.
    She clearly detailed several bits of information on rubber adaptors?
    AFAIK, there isn't any cum in the box, but the box is essentially a small cumputer with custom MAN compatible hardware. It is 53x based, though (don't care to try to crack the case - many times they put traps in the boxes to kill the service/box/both if you try to open them, from what I understand).

    The crap thing is it will probably be wrapped in so many pre-nups, Dildo crap, etc - that it will suck as a real useful service..
