PVRs Down Under?
mgkimsal2 asks: "My in-laws are leaving tomorrow for Australia and they've become quite fond of our Tivo. They asked if there was any way to get Tivo in Australia, but I'm turning up a blank. It seems that some people are hacking it to work over there, but it's not commercially available. Are there other PVRs commercially available in Australia? Similarly, are there any cool PVR products in other countries we've not seen in the US yet?"
fuck, yr relatives are coming to australia and all they can think about in advance is how they are going to watch television there??? please tell them not to bother coming - after all tv in australia is much like it is in america - full of crap made in someplace called hollywood i happen to have lived in australia without watching tv for the last 12 years - how do i survive? - well, i've learnt to speak to the natives and have a bit of a look around the place - you know go outside every once in a while, go to the beach, the cricket, the pub to watch a band etc. etc. my suggestion in that they save the effort (and us) by staying at home and imbibing the 'real australia' by watching endless reruns of 'crocodile hunter' (did i get that right?) on their beloved tivo cheers mate
