TiVo Series 2 Review

Anonymouse writes "I just saw on Linux.com that NewsForge has reviewed the new Linux-based TiVo Series 2 PVR. TiVo now (unofficially) supports broadband via a USB ethernet adapter as well, so it doesn't tie up a phone line." Yes, NF and LC are both owned by OSDN, as is Slashdot.

    Comment about how this could be made for $76.23 with Pricewatch parts, and it would also play MP3's, Quake III, surf the net, cook toast, and send pictures of the kids to Grandma

      What a great idea. Perhaps I will suggest my mother build her next DVD players instead of buying an all-in-one solution. A penny saved is a penny earned!

      And if you buy it at BestBuys, maybe you can get the parts for $16.23 (if you can risk an arrest.)

    To be able to actually *use* one of these things; to have the time to sit through a 12 hour marathon of Farscape or B5 without having the kids crawling all over you... I'd really like a Tivo-type thingy, but I have no idea when I'd be able to actually use it. I barely get to use the dvd player we got for Christmas...

    Dude, I was in just your situation a few months ago and that (@*#@(%* thing worked so well that I finally had to get rid of it.

    I even wrote a little blurb about it. - Beware, it's heroin-ware, baby!
