Hi elarbee,

As a non-sandgroper with no FoxTel I can only answer 1 and 4.

1. The different model numbers indicate a different original disk capacity - HDR112 thru HDR612 (14, 20, 30, or 60 hours) . Most people buy a diskless TiVo and buy nice big hard disk to get more recording capacity.

4. Yes indeed. I have a Widescreen TV and the TiVo works well with it. Essentially it records whatever your STB puts out. So if your STB is set to 16:9 then the TiVo will record it that way.

Cheers, Dave.

woo hoo, thanks dave.

yeah being in the most isolated city in the world ( one of our pathetic claims to fame ) i thought i should check, but even if the times are a couple hours it doesnt really matter.

thanks for your reply!
