Depends. If you want to receive FTA TV in HD then the new TiVoHD is for you. However if you need to record Foxtel or some other external A/V source then the TiVoHD won't do that.
Probably even cheaper than that. STB can be had for under $30 and 200G drives are under $100.If Im correct the main issue would now be price - ie around $650 - $700 versus roughly $460 all up for an equivalent but used/unwarranted series 1 setup (by which I mean : approx : series 1 $50, postage $80, network card $80, digital set top box $100, 200G drive $150).
Yes that is a limitation of the Series 1.I also need to live with only being able to record one channel at a time.
If that is an issue then don't buy a TiVoHDI also need to ignore the subjective issues, such as ownership/control by Channel 7 (a subject definitely for other posts !!)
No it does not and no you cannot add them. If you like to tinker then a Series 1 is for you.I also need to assume that the new TiVos either already have all the features offered by the OzTiVo image, or that they can be added in a similar manner (and I like to tinker !).
If you are implying that Series 1 units are dead because of the TiVoHD then that is an incorrect assumption. You really are comparing apples with oranges to compare a Series 1 OzTiVo to a TiVoHDBut if I assume all of the above, am I on the right track here ? Or if I get a series 1 for the sake of saving $200 will I regret it sometime soon ?
To start with I have moved this thread to the TiVoHD area as it is essentially a TiVoHD subject.Im hoping there are some experienced OzTiVo users that can either set me straight or agree that I have it pretty much right, or alternately point me to the post I cant find anywhere that discusses this very issue in great detail !
