+Kealia Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Alright y'all. I've seen polls about what we do, who we're married to, etc. etc. and I've also seen MANY posts about people setting their TIVO to catch something cache related so I'll ask the question: Do you own a Tivo or other DVR? I'm a "yes". Quote
+ChrisCindy Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I got my vote in. When in doubt...hit it with a big hammer. Quote
+Lothar69 Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Just got my DVR through my local cable company about a month ago. I love it! Tape two shows at the same time while watching a third show previously taped, pause/rewind live TV (can't wait for football this fall!). As an afterthought, wanted to ask: Are there lots of shows or features on geocaching? I've been reading these boards for about a month now and don't recall seeing any references to a show - aside from maybe some local TV news stories. What channels would these features be on? Discovery or TLC? ------------------------------------------------------------ I am Lothar, King of the Hill people. I have many tales to tell.... 24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence?

Swagger Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I voted yes, but it's not a DVR in the conventional sense. I have a TV card in my computer which gives me the ability to record video. -- Pehmva! Random quote: Quote
+Brian - Team A.I. Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I'm w/ Cruzin, although I'm going to upgrade my TV card to an ATI TV Wonder VE because of the killer PVR features it has. There's an online service (free) that it uses much like digital cable/tivo, where you select the show and it records in a number of different formats for everyone's buring fetish. $43 isn't a bad deal for it.

+Eswau Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I have a Panasonic Replay. Very similar to a Tivo but I didn't have to pay any subscription or monthly fees. One of the best gadgets I've ever invested in (along with my GPS V) I really like the recorded show index where you can start a show with the click of a remote and don't have to worry about finding it on a tape.

+lostinjersey Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I own a Panasonic Shostopper2000. Bought it off Ebay about 2 years ago before they required a charge of 9.95/month or a flat fee of $250 (which I feel is such a @)*(#)_*)@!#) ripoff. Without that nservice it don't work. Just charge me $450 or whatever it is and be done with it. Selling it for $250 then telling me its another $250 to use it is so scummy. And the worst part is I've had it for 18 months or so and the HD is going so now I watch shows & its all choppy-like, then it pauses for 15 seconds. AGHGHH. I'd buy a new one right now but I work for Verizon and I dont want to spend any money till we get a contract. Course that means I wont be able to buy Christmas presents at the rate we're going. Anyway, whenever I buy a new one, it'll be another Panasonic since I dont like that TIVO documents your viewing habits. Thats my business, not theirs. william Quote
+Erwinia of B & E Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 As to the question about TV shows with concerning Geocaching: There is a show that airs every so often on the Travel Channel. It is one of those "Top 10" deals. Something about top 10 places to find treasure, I think. One of the places is a geocache somewhere in California. I haven't seen it yet, but have arranged for the Travel Channel to e-mail me in the morning the next time it is coming on. Quote
+mogolloyd Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Best invention ever. It's like you have your own channel and only cool shows air. Quote
+briansnat Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 What the heck is a TIVIO? I just broke down and bought a DVD player. Don't throw something new at me so soon.

Pluckers Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 I've heard about that show on the travel channel and have been looking to 'tivo' it, but can't find it, even here: http://travel.discovery.com/schedule/a2z.jsp#T Quote
