Why I’m not going back to TiVo

I have DirecTV too, but waiting until late 2009 to get a Tivo? Come on now. I agree with Ed. If I need a PVR I'm getting a Media Center. - Robert Scoble

I've been hearing a lot of people switching to Media Center. My only beef is that I don't want a cable box. If you own an Xbox 360 Media Center is a nice built in extender, along with Vista. - Ryan

but...I love TiVo... How much for a decent media center? - Josh Haley

TiVo as a stand alone company is dying. PVR's from the same company you get media from are pretty good (Comcast, Fios, DirectTV) and much better integrated. Most folks I knew who had TiVo replaced them by now. - Soulhuntre via twhirl

I don't watch much TV, but a card in my PC does just fine, and acts as a PVR if I want it to. - Ian May

I liek the Fios PVR - add in how well WHS works to stream content to my Xbox360 and I am pretty well sorted on this. Next? I want Hulu on the 360 :) - Soulhuntre via twhirl

I love TiVo. Happy to use it everyday, it's been very good to me. Everytime I see someone else's TiVo rip-off, it somehow falls very short. I can't tell why they cant copy it better, but for some reason they don't. TiVo FTW. - Steve Isaacs

if media center allows you to have comcast without the terrible UI, that could be a good solution. DirectTV customer service is so bad- I need to find a replacement when my contract is up mid next year - Tim Connors via mioNews

I am happy with my TiVo HD and may upgrade the series 1 in the other room to a TiVo HD as well. In fact, I bought TiVo stock on Aug. 26 and sold it today, which more than pays for a new unit plus lifetime service. TiVo can't be beat. - Louis Gray

+1 @Steve Isaacs. I had a phase where I used two EyeTV devices with my Mac mini for my HD DVR needs, and it worked fairly well, especially since I could edit and transcode the files as I wished. However, sometimes the set up would fail because of different reasons, like the software encoder process on one of the tuners couldn't handle weaker signals, or for whatever reason a scheduled recording would be missed. I'm back with a TiVo HD and I love it. Rock solid and doesn't take up my computer. - Cheryl Jones

Of course, Elgato recently updated their EyeTV software to have a Season-Pass-like option, and other TiVo-like features, so they might be a good alternative for those not wanting to go with TiVo and are on OS X. I'm sticking to my TiVo for now. - Cheryl Jones

TiVo works best for our household...partly because we can't afford to shell out the big bucks for a Media Center PC...(I know, if I saved my TiVo fees for the next 2 years or so, I could afford one...but then, what would I do in the meantime? Watch commercials? I don't think so.) +1 @Steve Isaacs...Tivo FTW...seriously. - Sean McGee

@Sean McGee - does your cable provider offer a PVR? The are usually relaly cheap as an incremental upgrade. Best of both options. - Soulhuntre

I like my (non-DirectTV) TiVo because unlike the majority of PVRs it doesn't lock me in to a single TV provider. - Kevin Fox

@Soulhuntre: Well, a few months ago, we downgraded to "Basic" cable (20 channels) when we were having financial difficulties...they downgraded our bill, but never put the filter on...so, we're getting Expanded Cable (80 channels) for 12 bucks a month...Now that we can probably afford Digital, I'm reluctant to ruin the "good thing" we've had going for the last 6 months or so... - Sean McGee

Yeah, I won't buy a Tivo. The Verizon FiOS DVR is pretty good, although it does have limited storage (only 180GB). - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)

Media Center is one Microsoft product I love...can't live without it - jeff

I've brought up the idea of going with a non-Tivo DVR, but the look on Athena's face made me rethink it. Tivo has been such a wonderful part of our lives since our first (version 1) box (that now lives in my father-in-law's living room). I really like DirecTV and hate Comcast. So, my only real option is to wait until the end of 2009 for the new DirecTivo. - Cyrus Lendvay

Comcast with TIVO HD DVR is pretty awesome. 16 gig broadband, plus $299 dvr. Only limit is no Comcast On Demand. Cable cards don't have 2way working yet. - Keith Teare via feedalizr

i could never own a tv. i don't like the way my brain feels while watching it. and the ads don't add to my life, they only steal time. - Gregory Lent

@Gregory I broadly agree with you, and particularly find the medical ads trying to turn me into a hypocondriac very annoying. Thing is, very few people complain, and yet many folks online want ad-free free services, and go out of their way to block ads (which you can't do with live TV). - Ian May

I ditched my Tivo in favor of the built in recorder in my Dish Network box. I'm perfectly happy and saving money too. - David Jacobs

I'm still partial to my Media Center computer recording my favorite shows and then watching them over my XBox 360 - David Cook via twhirl

Mitch, it's what's to come, that's exciting. Progression FTW - Mona N.

I never really liked it, although have an accounton it. Has some tagging and ranking systems. It even has some page saving ability. But, somehow it didnt seem to me intuitive and simple enough and i think it lacks (still?) a browser plugin/bookmarklet thing that Delicious and Diigo have. - Hayk Hakobyan

Quote - "What are the pros & cons of ma.gnolia compared to Google Reader & Del.icio.us?" It's open-source. - Kevin

I use Ma.Gnolia as a strategic element in social marketing. I don't love it, but search engines crawl it and it seems to have some cred with Google. - Rob Sterling

i don't know why but i always liked ma.gnolia than delicious. i've been using it ever since and i'm glad to know it's going open source. - ~C4Chaos

I would switch from Delicious to Magnolia if the page-saving features worked better: they should really play that up more. And the longer character limit, for the description, is also a big plus; I still don't really understand why Delicious has such a restrictive character limit on, of all things, the description field. Heck, now that Zotero syncs machines, I'm considering shifting over to that ... - joneilortiz

dude, that would make me crazy mad :P - Helge M. Heggli

It's a simple rule: If you arrive at the gate after it closes, you can't board the plane. - Mo J

Alaska left me at a gate with eight minutes to go. Here's the rules. You must be at the gate before 10 minutes before your scheduled time. You must check your bags 45 minutes before your scheduled time. If you don't have bags, you need to print out your ticket with 30 minutes to go. There are some slack to these rules, but not much and if they feel like being strict for some reason they WILL bump you. - Robert Scoble

Oh you mean they did not make 400 people wait for you and then miss their takeoff slot and then delay the next flight that plane was due to make all because you did not bother to get to the airport in good time? - John Cooper

+1 John Cooper - Mo J

John - They did that for me once. Tunnel was retracted, I had to climb the steps up into the plane. Continental FTW! - Matt Musgrave

John: sometimes shit happens. One time on the way to the airport there was an accident and I was stuck in traffic for three hours. Missed two flights there. It's very frustrating to get to the gate a minute or two after they closed the door and watch the plane sit there for 20 minutes. Guess you are perfect and always on time for everything. - Robert Scoble

I've found that most airlines use the '10 minute cutoff' in order to allocate seats to standby passengers, and that they won't close the gate sooner than 3 minutes prior to scheduled departure. If I were on that plane I wouldn't be upset if they waited until 9:57am before closing the doors. John, would you insist they close the doors at 9:51am, knowing there were people who were a couple minutes away? Also, 400 people? Hyperbole much? United's largest plane (747-400 Vers. 2) maxes out at 374 passengers. Presumably no more than 369 if they stranded 5 at the terminal. - Kevin Fox

Scoble, it's not about being perfect. Getting to the gate late will cause you to miss your flight. It's not about not being able to put you on the plane physically, there is luggage to worry about and other tasks that happen in a very timely manner to avoid delays. A lot of people are doing many things to put the flight in the air on time. The airline is not to be blamed for a passenger's frustration. - Mo J

Mo. Almost every time I've seen this happen (that people are running for a flight) it's actually because the previous flight is late. Ever have to run through London's airport to try to make a connecting flight? I have. It's often not due to arriving late at an airport, but rather due to some other problem. The Alaska one, though, was due to a very long security line. Some of those take an hour to get through so it's easy to get tripped up, even if you get to the airport on time. - Robert Scoble

If you have 1K status, they are more likely to hold the door for you. - Jauder Ho

Jauder: I have 1K status. Not to mention they whisk you through security lines too. But that only helps on United. On other airlines they treat you like the cattle that you are. :-) - Robert Scoble

Ya, Heathrow is probably the worst airport to get around in, especially with the construction going on now. I still think that letting minutes decide your fate is not a good strategy. Arrive early, hours early, and make sure you get a good seat :) - Mo J

Flying is a chore... not a pleasure... the security is window-dressing... admit it... airports are disasters in general... but i guess most of all too many passengers put their brain in stupid-mode as soon as they enter one... it's unbelievable the things you hear and see... anyways... - Steven Pelsmaekers

To be on time do not exist, it's a concept. Either you're in advance either you're late! - Stephane Bourzeix

United is the WORST airline now in my opinion. I only fly American - Grant Gochnauer

i would switch from united but they have the best rewards for people w/ status and the other option from my airport is NW - Jonathan Jesse

Robert, that's mostly the case with US carriers. Try flying Singapore Airlines sometime, it's actually an enjoyable experience. - Jauder Ho

Jason, SouthWest, fly SouthWest :) - Hayk Hakobyan

AA seems to be good about waiting a few extra minutes to close the gate if there are stragglers, and then bust a$$ to get in the air on time. I've done a lot of travelling just in the past few years, and AA is my favorite, but Frontier has the best planes. - Chris Martin

@chris martin: the one time i flew frontier i really enjoyed it wish i could catch more flights w/ frontier but they don't fly anywhere i usuall fly. i stick w/ united cause of status - Jonathan Jesse

Jonathan, "for people w/ status"? What the . . . - Gregory Pittman via twhirl

Also United abandoned their pension obligations in bankruptcy court, dumping it off on the US Government instead. I'm sure it was legal, but completely unacceptable to me. I won't fly United any more. http://www.forbes.com/markets/... - Denton Gentry

I can see both sides of the argument. Jason, were you making a connecting flight, or just running late getting to the airport? :-) Also, "9 minutes" is not exactly the biggest span of time -- if United's clock is slightly fast, or yours slightly slow, that makes the difference less than 9 whole minutes. As for the airline, United has generally treated me well. The first class lounge in Frankfurt has awesome food. :-D - Karim

I don't know why people are moaning about someone who's missed the plane by a couple of minutes - when if something happened to them - i.e. there was a crash and it delayed them etc they'd be the first to complain pfft. - Nicholas James

The reason I say this is that the adoption curve for Twitter, well took a while. Friendfeed adoption curve is steeper, with more folks coming on faster. Early micromedia adoption from twitter paved the way for FF to quickly take off. I'd guess that if FF came before Twitter, adoption would have been slower. Your thoughts? - Jeremiah Owyang

Jeremiah, I think you're right. For all its troubles (which seem to be under control now), Twitter was the trail blazer. I wouldn't be using any social media if it weren't for Twitter. - Gregory Pittman

I think the migration pattern is more interesting.. why have many Twitter users moved over to FF .. secondly what is the 'stickiness' factor of Twitter. The core philosophy of twitter was- what you doing.Whereas, with FF its feed me interesting stuff. Like Scobles sez, smart people are on FF, does that mean smart people are not on Twitter ? Nope, it just means that different methods for different people. IS/was Twitter a gateway to FF, in a way Yes. But, on the other hand new comers to Twitter see a post in - Peter Dawson

Where am I? Right here of course. - Louis Gray

<cont> inbound from FF and then are sucked into FF. Remember, there is not much you express in 140 char. - Peter Dawson

Totally agree. Twitter alone didn't hook me, but combined w/ ff, did. Related thought - how does Twitter differ from kids relentlessly changing chat client status messages? I've seen those get to 140 characters or more too (for those that have seen how teens use chat) - Kim Mahan

Peter, I don't think it's a migration. Twitter will co-exist. The fact of the matter is Friendfeed is an aggregator, it sits on top as an overlay. (although some conversations have completely shifted over here) - Jeremiah Owyang

Each person has a different experience with twitter and ff, so I don't think this is a universal truth. For my part, I'm fascinated by twitter and bored with ff. I think the constraints of twitter are part of what make it more fun -- as well as the additional visuals -- peoples' faces, choices of backgrounds, etc. My ff is analytical, and twitter is whimsical. I expect the flavorings of these otherwise similar services (not limited to these 2) to continue to specialize and for distinct cultures to emerge. - Ruth Kaufman

That has to be the best explanation of the transition I have ever heard. - Rob Diana

the "gateway drug" in a concoction that can be made with many "social" ingredients. Twitter is almost always a key part of that recipe. - Kevin Sablan via twhirl

Let's see how that works out for US - reintermediation as user- generators of units of bandwidth/relevance !!! The gateway is the speed of payment & velocity of fees by payment companies !!! trade bandwidth !!! - Mad Inchina

Gateway Drug -- a great line! I think the addition of the 'Share with note' feature in Google Reader was the gateway for me. I had very few friends using Google Reader (ouch!) but loved finally being able to share and comment on the stuff I was reading. I was hooked on FF immediately. My Google Reader use has dropped quite a bit. - Richard Crocker

I went hardcore straight away, and still I feel it's not "hard" enough for me: e.g. why comments are not treated just like posts (I want to like/reshare/comment-on a comment to), why you can't follow reshares of a post, etc. I guess I'll have to write something "as soon as I marry my daughters" (to borrow a phrase from my mom) - The Dod

2) Website Optimizer — http://www.google.com/websiteo... — tools to set up and track both simple A/B UI experiments on your page and more sophisticated multivariant experiments. - Joe Beda

Hei I even have tools in my text editor to make up for the interface as well as combine the tools better (you cannot use the tool without cross check of the traffic tool), and of course work back and forth with excel. @Joe: It would be helpful if chars like umlauts would not be totally screwed. I do have the replacement strings now done, but it would be easier to just be able to copy and paste. - Nicole Simon

Nicole -- what problems are you seeing with umlauts? Part of the ranking for word returned is based on traffic. For instance, I just tried "Schröder" and got back results with a mix with and without the umlaut. I'm not an expert in the ads serving system, but I would bet that for anything besides exact match Schröder will match Schroder and vice-versa. - Joe Beda

As for the traffic tool -- for what it is worth, you can get est avg CPC and est avg position right in the tool if you add those columns. Is that what you were looking for? - Joe Beda

yeah but you want to collect the data on the side and then export it out of the system - which is where the utf8 hits. cpc and avg positions would be relevant if I would want to advertise. ;) - Nicole Simon

It looks like the files are exported as UTF-8. It appears that special characters come through okay. What editor are you using? Are you opening as UTF8? - Joe Beda

yeah but the process opening as utf8 is a bit more complicated than just using the macros. but either way, I am happy I looked into the tool again - shiny new numbers and not bars any more! if you excuse me now, I need to play around! :) :) - Nicole Simon

I'm glad you like the numbers. It was a long time coming, but everyone is happy to get some real numbers there. - Joe Beda
