Hi All

Saw a TiVo in action in Melbourne last time i was down there and thought it was awesome. Now i find out they are a lot cheaper then i thought so i have a few questions before i decide. Now i am sorry that the questions are so dumb but just want to clarify everything before i make a decission.

1) video formats. Now from what i have read it seems like the TiVo can only play in the format it records at. So that means if i have AVI's or other computer based video files i cant play it through the TiVo?

2)Now I am on Optus Cable so obviously have to have it on the network, do i have to get the turbonet card or can you add a basic network card to it?

3) We have foxtel digital. can we record a show on a different channel to what we are watching?

4) Can you record multiple channels at once?

5) Can you convert the recorded programs to a format viewable on a PC?

6) I have thought about building a Media PC to do a similar thing, apart form the media pc taking me a lot more time and money to set up, is there anything the TiVo can do that the PC can't and vica versa.

Thanks in advance from a TiVo wanna be
