happy with my tivo but the idea of dual channel recording appeals to me so
i'm thinking of getting one - probably in addition to the tivo.
so.....

does the sky plus output s-video? - in the form of a s-video out plug? - and
if so will it work at the same time as the rgb scart? - i'm thinking for
purposes of digitising stuff.

has the program guide been sorted? - i used to hear stories of dissapearing
season passes etc.

anything else i need to know? -anyone who has moved from tivo to sky + have
any unbiased comments as to user friendliness?

If you are happy with the standard hard disk then everything works fine. If
you intend to upgrade to a bigger disk then expect bugs galore including
frozen recordings, corrupt recordings and the infamous 17min bug where the
recording defaults to 17mins into the program if you either select a later
time or try to forward at x30 speed. Even with these niggles I would still
recommend it, just use the tivo as a back up for any must have recordings -
that's what I do :-).

the issues, check it out here

Err, you mean "Series Link". It is certainly better than it was but not
perfect. I've known it to pick up a programme I never watch, or never
record, at least. I think it happens when to the link is set (by the
broadcaster) when no next programme exists, so it finds something else


Not every channel provides link information but it is getting much wider
use.

There have been bugs reported of failed recordings, I've reported some,
so have other people.

I think it is generally great but it does have its foibles.

There was a recent download of new software but I am not sure what it
covered.
