TiVo Announces DVR-SuperAdvance

Posted by timothy on from the so-next-week dept.

mark0 writes "TiVo has announced the TiVo DVR-SuperAdvance. The PC World review says, 'Familiar TiVo interface; DVR can record not-yet-broadcast programming; potentially useful as a wagering aid,' though, '[it is] expensive; access to programming is limited; footage is displayed in standard definition only.'" Hopefully, TiVo will supply a review unit.

    Let's get these stories out of the way. April 1st is the worst day of the year for Slashdot. And that's saying a lot because none of them are particularly any good.

      And yet, here you post, day after day, year after year, your username blatantly stolen from a more talented poster who has long since retired. How *do* you do it, PF? Actually, I'll answer that for you: you do it wrong, my friend. You do it very wrong!

      Yet here you are again.

      Seriously though, being in the UK where prime time US shows are typically broadcast at least a couple days (and sometime a couple YEARS) after their American airdate, a MythTV box integrated with a bit torrent site really does provide a DVR that shows programmes before broadcast.

    Spaceballs got there ages ago.

    Lord helmet: Have you found them yet?
    Corporal :No, Lord Helmet, they're still not on the scanner.
    Lord Helmet: Well, keep looking for them.
    Colonel Sanders: Pardon me sir, I have an idea. Corporal, get me the video cassette of Spaceballs the Movie.
    Corporal: Yes, sir.
    Lord Helmet: Colonel Sanders, may I speak with you please?
    Colonel Sanders: Yes, sir.
    Lord Helmet: How can there be a cassette of Spaceballs the Movie? We're still in the middle of making it!
    Colonel Sanders: That's true sir, but there's been a new break through in home video marketing.
    Lord Helmet: There has?
    Colonel Sanders: Yes, instant cassettes, they're out in stores before the movie is even finished.
    Lord Helmet: Nah...
