Title: RE: OT: DBA tasks..turning into Tivo.

Lisa,

 

There are options within Tivo so that you can tell it which channels you dont get.  Also, it needs to know if your using Basic, or Extended Basic, what pay channels, etc.

 

Yes, it tries to record stuff that you like.  Like I selected Tennis and Volleyball, so anytime a tennis or vball game is on, regardless of the time, it records it for me.  Dont forget to use the "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" to teach it what you like.

 

Have fun.

 

Chris

Zapped card that allows you to get EVERY channel, and the adapter that stops DirecTV from zapping your card to nothing (in other words, they caught you).  Then you have to get another card from DirecTV or buy it from someone. 

I'm kinda glad we don't have it.  Though I'd love to be able to watch Minneapolis TV again (and the Vikings without buying the NFL Sunday Ticket), I saw it at a friend's house and all he did was flip through 5 channels of nothing but porno.  Thanks but no thanks!

It also tries to record movies on channels we don't even get.  Sometimes it does some really stupid things.  Plus my husband recorded one fishing program - a week later it had recorded over 30 "outdoors" type programs.  It basically went crazy.  We had to laugh!

While that's a great feature.  I like the ability of Tivo to pick up shows that you like, based on your own tastes that it "learns".  Almost on a weekly basis it captures some movie that I have never seen or saw many years ago.  And then I will watch it that night, or watch bits of it over a week when I have time.  Plus I dont have to rush home to watch something on TV, Tivo saves it for me. 


A "Tivo" should be in every TV.  But most people just dont get it. 
 
BTW, what is the stripped card and adapter???

Nope, not yet.  When (and if) that happens, the advertising companies and networks are going to scream bloody murder.

However, you can turn on a program, wait 10 minutes, and then watch the entire thing fast-forwarding thru all commercials.  Super slick.  by far the coolest toy I have ever owned...  even though I opted not to purchase the stripped card and adapter.

Angelina:

Do you know if your can setup your TIVO box so that it
can automatically ignore commercials when recording? 
If, so how do you do that?

Thanks,
