Tivo 3.0 'Firebolt' Hits the Wild
James Evans writes "Tivo is rolling out version 3.0 of their software, including Ethernet drivers as well as the ability to download program data directly from a cable broadcast without using the phone line."
My guess is it'll be awhile before everyone gets it since these things come
in waves.

Is haxor and ddos proof. try for yourself!
(hey that rhymes :)
I'm disapointed that the haven't chosen this release to announce any sort of partnership w/ a company to get TiVo in Canada. I think they could really be sitting on a good market here. We like TV just as much as any American, and historically we've been quicker to adopt new technologies too. It's a real shame too, as the only thing that comes close is a PVR offered by Bell as part of their ExpressView satellite service (which, of course, requires the satellite service) and is a poor comparison to TiVo
My other sig is funny!
It wasn't funny when Zippy the Pinhead did it, and it's not funny when you do.
And if you don't understand, you'll never know...
The Right Reverend K. Reid Wightman,
Canadians are always tech-hungry, and that is why we have in excess of 60% of our homes having internet access, and HALF of those have either Cable or ADSL access. So figure that most of those with high speed access have the money and interest in TV to buy a Tivo...remember, something like 90% of homes have either Cable or Satellite TV service...
So, you have 30+ Million people, 27 million have cable ot satellite TV, 18 million have Internet access, and half, or 9 million of them have high speed/broadband access, and probably also have Cable/Satellite TV. That is a potential market of 27 million at it's high end, and maybe 8-9 million on the low end. Figuring at worst case, only half of the people with "everything" (C/S TV, Internet+Broadband) are potential customers, that is still 4 million customers! Do the math for yourself...that is a lot of money to be ignoring!

What Moron moded this of Topic?
It's a shame you have to include a little note like "this is supposed to be funny" or include a tag to avoid OffTopic moderation.
What idiot moderated this OffTopic?
Help fight continental drift.
The subject title says it all.

What's the deal with Starbucks? If you don't let them force-feed you a cookie, you can't see anything on their website except a page extolling the virtues of Microsoft Passport.
Let's stamp this out now before Microsoft owns the whole web. How about an emailing campaign?
You must be new to TiVo.
I don't mean to wander offtopic here, but is there an open source package out there that will run a tv station? Something that'd be great as PVR but clockable as a broadcast station too?
:)
I'm looking into getting to Amateur TV, and this looks like a great way to run a broadcast
