TiVo Introduces Series2

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-lust-after dept.

KMFMS writes "Yesterday, TiVo introduced their Series2 line of TiVo DVRs. The TiVo web page for the Series2 states that it will have "2 USB expansion ports to connect to peripheral devices like... network adaptors..." " Presumably this will mean Tivo will have Broadband support to compete with the new ReplayTV 4000's. It also claims to support music and stuff too.

    Uh, you don't have to go a Certified Ford Dealer to buy Ford gas for your Ford. That means:

    • If Ford goes out of business, you can still drive your car.
    • There is competition for gas that brings the price down to a reasonable level.
    • Ford can't decide that you don't really need a stereo in your car anymore (a feature that you bought the car for) and secretly take it out while filling it up.
    If I buy a tivo with service, and then later on they decide they don't like to provide the service anymore, I have a $600 paperweight that's no better than my VCR.

    Don't get me wrong, they should sell service and make money off it. But you should be able to get the data from a variety of different places. Legally.
