How did _you_ find OzTiVo?

[DavidSymons]

Hi all,

How did you find out about OzTiVo?

I'll kick off ... it started from this post on the Canberra Linux Users' Group mailing list:

http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux/2004-January/009539.html

A bit further along that thread the OzTiVo site was mentioned and, well, once that URL hit the browser that was it :) .

Cheers, Dave.

I think it was via the NZTiVo site. Either that or a web search on NZ TiVo in general and it was from a on-line newspaper link.

Same here... :) And made contact with Tim personally. Read OzTivo to find out heaps. Shortly after that ordered my TiVO, then ordered a second one :)

I found out through the Digital Broadcasting Australia website through there Forums. Someone made a reference to OzTivo and I then just Googled Oztivo.

I was actually looking for info on the Foxtel PVR about 6 months ago. Must say, looking at Foxtel IQ glad I went with the Tivo!

OzTiVo - Toys, Tools, Hacks and a Community

Seminar

This is the story of how several hackers in Australia reverse-engineered the TiVo's operation, how they modified it for Australian conditions, and how they have been able to make the device friendly to non-hackers.

while researching pvr's in general i first saw oztivo mentioned on the aus.tv newsgroup

then http://www.peter.com.au/pvrs.html ( but it looked different then )
then i found more info on the eyo forums that aggregate related newsgroups

and eventually i found the oztivo site, that's when the confusion started lol :rolleyes:

because oztivo was hard to find and daunting to read, it made getting my tivo so much more rewarding!

I googled "tivo australia".
