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!

    Brain/eye bandwidth is now the real problem. Anyone working on that?

      OMG.

      That's so fucking true.

      It's like if you speed up a movie camera, you essentially shoot slow-mo, right? (If it's played back at normal speed?)

      Wow.

      That changes everything. My poor fucking brain. I gotta take another Red Bull and think this over.

    If you have banked 1200 hours of TV programming that you still need to watch, you've obviously been slacking off on your TV watching responsibilities. Come on, people, get with the program... you act like all you have to do all day is work or something.

      Just like they're boycotting the MPAA unless a Star Wars or Star Trek movie comes out.

      They're also boycotting the RIAA untless N'Sync releases a new CD.

      You see, the plan is to boycott only quality entertainment, and watch/listen to only crap.

      That way the industry execs get terribly skewed statistics on buying trends, and go bankrupt when they jointly produce "Star Wars vs. Star Trek II - Lance Bass's Big Adventure".

    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.

    I'm pretty sure that you didn't spend 500 days outside last year either. . .

    If you really need a 4 drive raid array to make sure your Dawson's Creek episodes can survive a disk going down, you have issues that the Tivo Quadcard can't fix.
