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.
