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...ry/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 :)Quote:

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".
