Hi and welcome.
Not at all. They are plentiful on USA ebay, one place in Australia sells them until the end of January '07 and now and then people have them for sale as one offs in Australia.
But that's half the fun and what makes them challenging from a hobbyist pont of view. It has to be remembered TiVo is NOT a commercial "plug and play" device in Australia but an experimental hobbyist device.and then go through the process of setting up.
Last time I looked the EPG for recorders and PVR's was very limited unless you subscribe to something like IceTV, whereas for a TiVo it is usually 4 days in advance (sometimes more). TiVo also offer suggested recordings based on your viewing habits and can have far more storage space than any commercial PVR at this time. Theoricially you can go to 2TB in hard disk space which means around 1,000 hours recordings. Practically in monetary and hard disk size you can make a 750GB TiVo at present.With EPG being added to digital set up recorders or PVRs - How is Tivo superior to off the shelf EPG recorder?
