Doing Words: TiVo coming for Australia! Be still my beating heart!

    From what I read they were talking about late next year which means it actually might be 2009 which means Foxtel will have four to five hundred thousand IQ's in the market and the rest of us will have a free to air PVR already. My folks (in their 70's) bought their PVR at Aldi. Little too little too late I think.

    Oh, I'm not so sure about that. TiVo's got a lot of coolness your average Aldi PVR doesn't got, like being able to only record first-run episodes, and being able to record a program even if it moves day/time from week to week. It also (in the US at least) offers recommendations, and will record shows including your favourite actors, or along genre lines.


    All of that hangs on the detail of the EPG data, of course, which may be out of Seven's control. But without it, I'd agree with you - TiVo might be too little, too late.
