I would buy a TiVo tomorrow (scratch that, today!) if it would record HD signals in Canada.  I have the Motorolla PVR from Shaw and it's absolutely atrocious!

Since they're getting back together with DirecTV in the U.S., they should be able to work something out with Bell (or StarChoice if you swing that way).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[halloweenboy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 16th 2008 1:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo having tough time in Canada, looking for options]]></title><link>http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/09/15/tivo-having-tough-time-in-canada-looking-for-options/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/09/15/tivo-having-tough-time-in-canada-looking-for-options/</guid><description><![CDATA[As a salesperson I have to say that its not very appealing for people(at least that is on the far west coast) to pay for digital cable service from Shaw and add on another subscription fee for TiVo. It's more practical for the average consumer to buy a HD-PVR in the longer term from Shaw or one of the satellite providers then go with TiVo. For myself I saw almost no effort from TiVo to even get a foothold in this market so i cant really say i didnt see troubles brewing. had they shown interest in the market i'd gladly sell such a solid unit(my DCT-3416 kicked the bucket last week after six months of shaky performance)<br><br>oh and TiVo, it also helps to bribe salespeople in canada with shwag.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[drainbamage]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 16th 2008 8:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo having tough time in Canada, looking for options]]></title><link>http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/09/15/tivo-having-tough-time-in-canada-looking-for-options/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/09/15/tivo-having-tough-time-in-canada-looking-for-options/</guid><description><![CDATA[I had a Standard Def Tivo for almost a month while toying over the idea of getting HD. I LOVED it- I would have kept it if it didn't conk out on me. <br><br>I now have Rogers 8300 HDTV PVR(extended with a 1.5TB hard drive), and it doesn't hold a candle to the Tivo. Other than receiving HD - the Tivo was easier to search for tv shows and movies. The Tivo was also easier to use- more efficient, and MUCH better interface. You could transfer shows to ipods/ computer, you could organize the recordings by file, you could search based on actor for movies/tv... I miss my Tivo!!! <br><br>If Tivo HD doesn't come to Canada - if either Bell or Rogers steps up their game and gives us a better product, I'd switch in a heartbeat. Half a heartbeat.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kat_1_]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 21st 2008 10:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo having tough time in Canada, looking for options]]></title><link>http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/09/15/tivo-having-tough-time-in-canada-looking-for-options/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/09/15/tivo-having-tough-time-in-canada-looking-for-options/</guid><description><![CDATA[Recently bought a TIVO2, to replace the VCR. We are using it with Starchoice. Works fine, easy setup. Can only record one channel at a time, but so what, the VCR was the same. Cost $100 a year for sub +200 for the unit, but worth it. Still cheaper then the units provided by Shaw and Starchoice (~$500), over 3 years. I can also transfer recorded shows to Laptop. Perfect as I work on ships.<br><br> My daughter (6) has just about got here fill of Arthur |(thankfully), there are at least 3 new recording made everyday, and she can watch them at more appropriate times then broadcasted.<br><br>Sad to think Canadians had to wait 10 years for this. Buy one.<br><br>No HD yet but, so what really. I still run good quality Sony CRT, cheap too.<br><br>Cheers<br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[pacific]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2008 6:53AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
