Opinion: Diagnosing A TiVo Hard Drive Failure

Thu, Sep 17 | from TiVo
My Series 3 TiVo has been acting up as of late. The other night I was watching Mad Men (isn’t it a great show?) and my TiVo froze and rebooted twice!

Opinion: TiVo to Launch 802.11n Wireless Access Point

My TiVo Series3 and TiVo HD each communicate with my home network via TiVo’s very own 802.11g USB wireless adapter. And the solution just isn’t fast enough to copy HD content from one TiVo to another for real-time progressive download playback. So, I assume one goal of this product is to impro...

Opinion: TiVo Blog Mailbag: pyTiVo & Slingbox

That being said, TiVo does work really well with a Slingbox. As a matter of fact, I have a Slingbox connected to my TiVo HD and I use it all the time while I’m on travel or if I’m working on a blog post in my bedroom. In the past I’ve used my Slingbox to connect to my TiVo and schedule a recording whil...

Opinion: TiVoToGo & MRV Copy Protection

Ideally I’d like to be able to use TiVo’s multi-room viewing feature to transfer my son’s programs to my Series 3 DVR whenever he wants to watch one of his shows. I say ideally because, I’ve noticed that a lot of the content that I record on the TiVo HD has been copy protected which prevents me f...

Opinion: TiVo Blog Mailbag (iPhone Remote, Networking, Infomercials, DirectTV, USB)

I’m sorry to hear that your TiVo isn’t working out for you. Is your DVR recording these shows as a suggestion. If it’s a suggestion, you probably don’t have to worry about it. Your DVR will automatically delete any suggestions whenever it needs more space. That being said, you might want to...

Opinion: CNET weighs in on the DTVPal DVR

CNET has posted their review of the DISH Network DTVPal. And it seems John Falcone and I are pretty much in agreement. The DTVPal DVR ($250, currently sold out) falls somewhere between a VCR and TiVo in functionality. In general, I find the interface sufficiently powerful but, like the remo...
