TiVo vs. Windows Media Center Edition

Posted by timothy on from the compare-contrast dept.

The Importance of writes "Two reviewers make head-to-head comparisons of TiVo and Windows Media Center Edition (here and here). TiVo still comes out ahead, but MCE is improving. Of course, some tout the flexibility of PC-based DVRs, while others question what this flexibility means when you have things like the broadcast flag and the INDUCE Act."

    We dont need no DRM enabled cancer cure. The GPLed treatment is almost as good. Granted you need to swap out about half of your body parts to be compatible with it.

    From the article: Part of the MCE experience issue is that it's still a PC. [...] You need to re-boot from time to time.

    Spoken like a true Windows user.


    Tivo's a PC too, you know, it just doesn't run Windows.
