[QUOTE="Program.X, post: 30660, member: 15773"] This is interesting! As a TiVo user, I am investing in the MP idea (in terms of getting a new PC/OS/maybe testing/dev time) to replace TiVo in the longer term - but TiVo functionality is really important. [b]So if you would like TiVo-related feedback, I'd be happy to oblige. I have hacked my box sufficiently enough to be able to get at some of the innards by telnet/TivoWeb.[/b] My only real negative point on TiVo is this: I had "Manchester" as a keyword, as I come from Manchester. This would tape things related to Manchester beautifully. But if Manchester Utd play (and I can assure I most certainly am NOT interested in them!), this would be picked up. But, the thumbs wouldn't have any effect, because the Manchester wishlist entry supercedes the software thumbs preferences. So some concept of a NOT operator would be brilliant. I would be most interested in trying this out, if not helping to take it further, but before I commit, I would like to be able to purchase a MP-capable PC. [/QUOTE]
