Too Many PVR Choices?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 05:30 PM
A few months ago, I was bemoaning the lack of PVR choices for me being in Canada. I managed to snag a ReplayTV off eBay and get it to kind of work, but it was a dodgy solution at best. What I really want is a Tivo, but they don't work up here in Canada. About two months ago I started using Snapstream's Beyond TV3, and it works quite well indeed. I thought I had things mostly sorted out - it was just a matter of getting a box hooked up to my TV upstairs so I could access the media while sitting on my couch.
Things have become a bit more complicated now - last week I bought a new computer with Windows Media Center 2004 on it, and yesterday I discovered that my local cable company (Shaw) has released a digital cable box/PVR combo unit. Now I have to make up my mind between three different PVR solutions...and to think a few months ago I had no solution at all! :roll:
