More on the Replay TV 4000

boskone noted that Replay TV's site has updated with a variety of new information that will definitely allow the Tivo/Replay flamewars to escalate. Besides the networking capability we mentioned earlier (send shows to friends, or to other Replay's on your home LAN), and the gigantic 320 hour maximum storage capacity, there are more detailed specicifcations. Also notable is the progressive video output port, and the fact that it actually requires ethernet, but doesn't require a subscription! I'd love to try one of these buggers out when they ship.

    Don't be so quick to jump on the "no commercials" idea.

    The broadcast networks can only afford to be free if they have income, and if enough people start skipping the commercials, they'll have to do something about it.

    So unless you wanna pay a monthly fee for access to the networks and your local stations, you better hope Autoskip stays a niche product.

    Thanks for posting the new updates. I'm going to save over them. But if all of this isn't enough to get you going, there is something else for you:

    ReplayTV PROMOTIONAL CODES!

    Some are geared at existing ReplayTV customers. Others are for 'people in the industry'. But they were freely given over the phone. I worked with this guy and got some codes corrected, so they now work properly.

    I took the $100 off and no payments. (That'll make it easily financable over a few months.) Note! Most of these promo codes are for all but the most basic model.
