Tuesday March 15, 2005 | TiVo and Comcast Sign Deal | Computers |
Great news for TiVo fans:
TiVo and Comcast have signed a deal. For once, smarter heads prevailed and Comcast realized that people want TiVo's service over Comcast's rather crappy PVR. Now all that remains is for people to realize that using your PC as a PVR isn't really a good thing. It won't take long to realize that you need to dedicate a PC to this task, you can't expect to have your primary PC be your PVR, too. Need to reboot? Can't! I'm recording your soap opera. Want to watch your soap opera? Can't! Junior is playing Counter Strike and doesn't want any lag. Oh look! I'm a PC! I crashed. Hope you didn't want to see who was booted from American Idol.
If you're going to dedicate a PC to be your PVR, you might was well just buy a TiVo, or now get one from Comcast.
