Tivo Quadcard Promises Thousand-Hour PVR

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-1200-hours-seems-much-better dept.

edrock200 writes "The folks over at 9thtee are developing a quad card for Tivo series 1 and Tivo/DirecTV combo units...it will allow you to add 4 hard drives to your Tivo and also break the 133gb limit for each drive....this will effectively give you a 1200-hour unit with 4 320GB drives. Theres also a fairly detailed thread of the development process over at the AVS forums." Gonna need the space since scifi has decided to air 4 episodes of SG1 a day!

    This is absurd. Does the consumerist beast that is America know no bounds? When is enough enough? 12000 hours of recording time is more than unnecessary; it's almost offensive. Most people reading this site probably haven't spent that much time outdoors in the last year. It's revolting.

    Meanwhile, they'll all be willing to put in overtime in front of their CRTs so that they can afford the fancy new quad-damage TiVo card. This while people in the Middle East struggle on the verge of nuclear war, children in Africa are sold into slavery, and the victims of 9/11 are still warm in the ground. And I'm in hock up to my loogies just trying to make rent and keep my family fed and clod. Have the readers of slashdot no sense of decency?

    well first you need a magical tivo that can record HDTV and have a HDTV tuner... whoops there is no such thing! next we need to actually HAVE hdtv programming other than that endless loop on HBO-E

    Dont worry, this problem will never plague you until you buy a HD Tivo... something that isnt even in alpha planning stages yet.
