Yes, you've made it clear you don't want a TiVo. By standing in the middle
of a TiVo group and loudly proclaiming how stupid TiVo is for not building
exactly what you want and giving it to you free, you're saying a lot more
about yourself than you are about TiVo's business model.

You don't want a TiVo. You never did. Thank you, drive through.

Frank,

This is what I do. I have a Series1 Tivo and a Series2 Tivo with season
passes set on both Tivo's. On the rare occasion that three shows are on at
the same time I can also record to my GoVideo's VCR. Harmony helped me set
up everything to operate from just one controller even marking the Harmony
display Series1 and the other button Series2.

Very good advice, Rich. Hopefully somebody that needs it/is looking for
it will find it. Our friend Frank here, however, never wanted a TiVo at
all. He came in with a list of things he wanted and said he wanted it all
in one box (and that money was not at issue). It was pointed out that
what he was asking for was not available all in one box, but if money is
not an issue, why not just get two? His excuse changed to space...he
doesn't want the clutter. It was pointed out he can set the two boxes up
on two different TVs and transfer shows back and forth if he liked, his
excuse became that he doesn't want to pay subscription fees, they should
just be rolled into the cost of the box. It was pointed out he was free
to get a lifetime subscription, which WOULD bring the cost of the box much
closer to the actual cost, and he quickly degenerated from there. His
real agenda became clear...he wants everything done exactly his way (NO
variations accepted), and even though money is not an issue, he does not
want to pay for it.

He's happy using his VCRs. We're happy with him using his VCRs. He's
promised to stop trolling after one more huge effort later in the week,
and we're all looking forward to that.

Have you considered a PC-based system, such as http/www.gbpvr.com ?
