WEBVTT - Can I use TiVo with my PC?

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera.

0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>It's ready. Are you get in touch with technology? With

0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>tech stuff from how stuff works dot com. Hey everyone,

0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 1>welcome to the podcast. My name is Chris Polette. I'm

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:19.360
<v Speaker 1>an editor at how Stuff Works, and as usual, sitting

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>next to me as senior writer Jonathan Strickland. Hi. Everyone,

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna talk to you today about turning your PC

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>into a ti Vo. And you know, a ti Vo

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 1>is sort of a pcally, So thank you very much. Well,

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I was great talking to you again. Tune in record time. Yeah, okay,

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 1>so no, actually that's true. I would like to touch

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:43.480
<v Speaker 1>on that. I actually own a TiVo and essentially they

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:47.879
<v Speaker 1>are a PC. But not everyone wants to spend the

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 1>money to buy a ti Vo. They can be a

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.559
<v Speaker 1>little pricey, especially for the high definition version, which is

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>very pricey um. And some people just like that feeling

0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 1>of d I y or you know what. I just

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.279
<v Speaker 1>don't like Tvo. So it's up to you, you know.

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 1>But if you don't want to go the standard route

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>or you want some customization, maybe it's in your best

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.839
<v Speaker 1>interest to uh to look into building your own. Yeah,

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>because there are definitely some really cool features you can

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>add into your PC that will give you a lot

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>more functionality than you would get in the standard TiVo. UM.

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>But we'll get into that a little bit later. I

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>guess I was actually gonna start with literally turning your

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>PC into a ti Vo UM, which there now is

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>an option to do that. It's through the use of

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>the Nero Liquid TV Slash ti Vo PC, which is

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>UH an interface a card that you install in a PC.

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>It has the UH the coaxial UH link in the back,

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>so you hook your cable up into it and it

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>it gives your PC the ti Vo functionality. It gives

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>it the same sort of software and functions that you

0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>would find in your standard TiVo and UM it comes

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>with a software that you can know that obviously is

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 1>the TiVo software. And if you already have a tuner

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 1>card for your PC, you can get just the software.

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to get the card and software bundled together. UM.

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, this is this UH, this service that turns

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 1>your PC into a TiVo. So it has the little

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.399
<v Speaker 1>TiVo logo, it does a little it's got the it's

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.959
<v Speaker 1>got the software, and you use the TiVo remote yep.

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>So that's, uh, that's for people who want the TiVo.

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>They don't want necessarily a set top box. They don't

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>mind using a computer, whether the computer happens to be

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>next to their entertainment system or is in a totally

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>different room, um, and then wired over to the TV.

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>There are a lot of different options there. So that's

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>the easiest one, right. I don't think it gets any

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>easier than plugging a card into your computer and then

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>just running some software and then you're ready to go.

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>What about Windows Media Center? That's that's almost as easy.

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:06.639
<v Speaker 1>I supposed it depends on on whom you ask. Um. Yeah, Windows,

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Microsoft has its own uh built in on some in

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>some PCs, most recent pieces. Yeah, yeah, so they Windows

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Media Center actually has uh some capability of doing this

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>on its own. Um. So you could essentially, you know,

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>hook your your PC up to your TV and you

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 1>or a monitor. Really you would need a tuner card,

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, to to do that. Um, but you would

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.639
<v Speaker 1>be able to, uh to go ahead and use your

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>PC as a TV, TVO DVR. Um. And uh you

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>know Mac even has something like that. Apple has its

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>front row, which is built in. Now it's not quite

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>as doesn't handle the same kind of functionality as Windows

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Media Center, but it does allow you to watch videos

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>you may have downloaded from iTunes or some of the

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>other services where you can download video, and you can

0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>look at the photos and your photo gallery, UM, play

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 1>podcasts things like that via you know that you have

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>a little remote control and you can you can access those,

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>which is one of the advantages of doing this on

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>your on your TV because you know, having the PC

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>two TV hookup is you can access your media library,

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.160
<v Speaker 1>your music files, you know a lot of you know,

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>not so much with the TVO software, but with Windows

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Media Center or with Hope UM, with the front row thing,

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>you can you can actually do that have access to

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>play back all the other things on your TV, which

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>is why some people get a Mac Mini, which is

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 1>a very scaled down Mac and just soak it up

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>their TV and use it that way. That's cool. Now,

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I was not aware of front Row. Okay, so I

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:41.600
<v Speaker 1>have a question for you that may or may not

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>know the answer. All right, is it at all similar

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 1>to Apple TV? UM sounds kind of like it has

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>some of the same features. Well, now, Apple TV is

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>a dedicated box UM and actually is very similar in

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>size to the to the Mac Mini UM and maybe

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the exact same size for all I know, UM because

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going off the top of my head here. But uh,

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.280
<v Speaker 1>what what Jonathan is talking about is Apple TV is

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:09.240
<v Speaker 1>basically dedicated to, um, getting movies. You can download movies

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.040
<v Speaker 1>to it over the internet, UM that you pay you know,

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>that you pay for and it is dedicated to putting

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>that content up on the TV. It's not it doesn't

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>have the same functionality as a full Macintosh computer. UM.

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>But it's not really intended to be a DVR either. UM.

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>It's not really about uh, you know, hooking up your

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 1>cable or satellite box directly to Apple TV and then

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>using it as a DVR, which you would get if

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:38.679
<v Speaker 1>you used something like Windows Media Center or or Nero

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the t BO box or UM for

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>that matter, Elgato I t V, which is the exactly

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 1>which is the the Mac version essentially of of Nero. UM.

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Basically you have a tuner card, you have the software,

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>and you can use your Macintosh uh to uh function

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.840
<v Speaker 1>as a DVR, but um again and also lets you

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.919
<v Speaker 1>do other things. It's got a built in tuner guide,

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>manages disk space for you. It's got the program catalog

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and UM you can share recordings over a network, what

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>you can't do with UH with some DVRs, depending on

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>the age of like for example, my TVO is a

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.839
<v Speaker 1>Series one and it is a It is a real trooper.

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>It's it's hung in there. It does accept the modem

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>is a little spotty. UM, but we basically ran it

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 1>into the ground. And actually that's a good point. It

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>would help me segue into my next point, which is, UM,

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>you can actually modify your t VO if you have one. UM.

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>When the hard drive died in my TVO, which was

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 1>a very sad occasion, my friend Dave helped me take

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 1>it apart. He installed a new, brand new gigantoid hard

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>drive on it, and UM, basically what we did was

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 1>we took this brand new hard drive, hooked it up

0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 1>to his Lynx computer, and he ran uhically an installation

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 1>program that format it or formatting program that UH, you know,

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 1>made it ready to work with the TiVo. UM. The

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>information to run the TVO is basically in the chip

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>set that is inside the box. So it already knew

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>that I had a lifetime subscription, which is why I

0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>wanted to continue using my Tvo. UM, and you know

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you can. You can do that. Actually, since the modem

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>has died, there are companies that won't let you buy

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>an upgrade your modum. You can actually install a wireless

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>card or uh Collas connection in the back. Now, if

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 1>you do this, they're going to avoid your warranty uh

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>in a big way. Um. As a matter of fact,

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I called TiVo to ask them a question and they said, UM, yeah,

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 1>you know you avoided your warranty when you installed this

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>new hard drive. And I said, yeah, it's six years old.

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>They went, oh, never mind, So what can I help

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>you with? So they answered my question, which was all

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I needed really from him. But UM, very very nice

0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 1>of Tvo to do that. Um. But that you know,

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 1>this is essentially all you need is you've got to

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 1>have something to run the DVR, which is your processor card.

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>You've got to have a hard drive in it, preferably

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 1>something large and I'd recommend fast because if you have

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a slow hard drive, it is going to affect the

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>way you watch your shows. Um. And then you are

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>going to need some kind of tunor card, which can

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 1>cost around seventy dollars depending on which one you go with. Um.

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.239
<v Speaker 1>If so you have a computer that has the media

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.959
<v Speaker 1>center on it already, when does media center, then that's

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>really gonna be your Your one expense is the tuner card.

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>So you think seventy bucks. Hey, that's not so bad,

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 1>and don't treat about the card. You know, we say

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>card and people who may be thinking, well I could that,

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, it doesn't sound too difficult. I could probably

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:50.319
<v Speaker 1>do that. Oh wait, there's a card involved. I don't

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.079
<v Speaker 1>want to pull my computer up. And not all of

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>them are the kinds of cards that you open the

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>case and plug in. Or maybe you have a laptop

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.199
<v Speaker 1>and you're thinking, you know, I'm not going to pull

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>that thing open. I'm never getet closed again. Um, there

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>are actually cards that work. Uh there they fit in

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 1>a USB slot. Yeah, the the hop Podge Win TV

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 1>PVR USB two is one of them. That's like about

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:18.880
<v Speaker 1>bucks yep. And uh, actually I believe Nero packages one

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 1>that comes you can get it with it, you know,

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 1>as a single package that has that in there. And

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 1>El Gato also has a package deal. Um or if

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>you're really feeling daring, you can build a brand new

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>PC uh from scratch and actually put everything into it

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.320
<v Speaker 1>that that you need, in which case what we've been

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>talking about already is probably extremely basic for you. UM.

0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:47.679
<v Speaker 1>But there are a number of uh freeware operating systems

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 1>for do it yourself DVRs. UM. Among them is myth TV,

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.560
<v Speaker 1>which lets you watch live TV and it supports multiple

0:09:55.600 --> 0:10:01.079
<v Speaker 1>tuner cards, so you could theoretically watch one show record another. UM.

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.320
<v Speaker 1>It'll let you rip c d s as a game

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.679
<v Speaker 1>emulator in it, so you can play Nime, uh, Nintendo

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.679
<v Speaker 1>or PC games on. It offers a slide show, you

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>can get the weather, let you rip DVDs, and it

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 1>has an RSS reader if you're feeling like not ripping

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 1>DVDs you just want to follow the news online yah. UM.

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.439
<v Speaker 1>And it's it's completely uh you know, available for download. UM.

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 1>There's another version called x MBC, which has been translated

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.120
<v Speaker 1>into different flavors other people. It's open source, so other

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>people have modified it. Uh. There's a version for UH

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 1>for Mac, PC, Linux or Xbox, the original Xbox. UM.

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:44.079
<v Speaker 1>It handles HDTV plays from different formats in addition to

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the hard drive. UH you know, network Internet streams pictures

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 1>allows you to use a remote UM. Yeah, that's that's

0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the tricky part maybe the remote, um, you know, but

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these support a standard remote, you know,

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>a generic remote. Some of them come with it, um,

0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>you know for the packaged offerings. UM. It's even possible

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 1>for you to be able to if you were, say,

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 1>using the Windows Media Center, you can you can network

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.640
<v Speaker 1>that with something like the Xbox three sixty. You can

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 1>use the Xbox three sixties interface to access the movies

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.280
<v Speaker 1>that you've stored on your Windows Media Center. And so

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>then you're just using the remote for the three sixty. Um.

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.679
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of cool approach to where and and the

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.720
<v Speaker 1>nice thing about that is if you have a wireless

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>adapter for your if your Xbox, you know, but you

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:32.760
<v Speaker 1>can wireless network. You don't even have to have the

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.439
<v Speaker 1>computer in the Xbox three sixty in the same room,

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 1>which is useful because a lot of people don't like

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 1>having the PC just saying there right next to everything

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>else in their home entertainment system, right, Um, and there

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 1>are a number of other of other formats and uh,

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, but there let's just say and and you know,

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 1>to clarify and sum it up that there are a

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>bunch no matter what operating system you're using, UM, unless

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 1>you're one of the fans as I am of the

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.560
<v Speaker 1>dearly departed or yearly departed Amiga UM, and there probably

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.599
<v Speaker 1>is one comes back to the AGA, you know, I

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 1>got to give him a shout out, and uh, I

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 1>can't believe I just said shout out, but they there's

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 1>probably one for the Mega. I didn't see, but I

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:16.559
<v Speaker 1>should go look. But really, essentially there are options. So

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.959
<v Speaker 1>if you're considering getting a DVR or upgrading yours, UM,

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.959
<v Speaker 1>you know there don't necessarily just go look at one

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>take a look there. Just about all of these have

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 1>a pretty extensive website UM that will let you take

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.360
<v Speaker 1>a peek and see what what different options they offer UM.

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 1>And you know, it's all part of the great convergence

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 1>as we moved to one single box that does everything.

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Depending on whom you would ask, and if you're like me,

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>you might just have an old computer sitting around that

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 1>could completely work as a DVR. You want to make

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.959
<v Speaker 1>sure that you have the a fast enough processor and

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>a fast enough hard drive, as Chris was saying, you

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.960
<v Speaker 1>don't want to just you know, plug anything in. Uh,

0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I would recommend using a computer that has at least

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.319
<v Speaker 1>two D six megabytes of RAM. Anything less than that

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and you're not gonna have a very good experience whatsoever.

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm certain. Yeah, it would probably take at least that. Yeah,

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>that would be the bare minimum. Um. I would recommend

0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 1>faster or more RAM if if possible, because you'll need it.

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 1>But um, yeah, if you have an old computer saying around,

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.400
<v Speaker 1>I actually do have an old computer that I may

0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 1>look into. I have in fact, it's it's old enough

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 1>now where I need to look and see if it

0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.480
<v Speaker 1>can measure up to what I would require to make

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>it into a DVR. Um. But I've been since we

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>started researching this podcast, I was thinking, Hey, this is

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 1>something it sounds like, you know, I could totally do,

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>and um, considering that I also have a ti Vo

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>at home, but it it gave up the ghost almost

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.559
<v Speaker 1>immediately after coming out of the box, and since it

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>was a free copy, I never bothered to ever get

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.960
<v Speaker 1>it fixed. This are the things I never lived with TiVo,

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>so I don't know what I'm missing, right, So people

0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 1>who live with TiVo, it's like talking to someone who

0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 1>just got to have a cult. Sorry about that. Yeah,

0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:04.440
<v Speaker 1>so I kind of want to join now. I'll granted

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 1>it's many years after the cult was at its height.

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 1>But uh, I'm curious too, I'm wondering what TV I'm missing. Well,

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.960
<v Speaker 1>DVR popularity is. It's just one of those things where

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I think people accept it now and you know, just

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 1>just don't hear anything about the standard thing of so

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 1>many cable uh cable boxes now, like you can get

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 1>a cable box from your cable provider that has a

0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 1>DVR and now most people will tell you, most people

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 1>who are big fans of DVRs will tell you that

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 1>the DVRs packaged with cable provider boxes are substandard when

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 1>compared to other other products on the market. Well, I

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.160
<v Speaker 1>would always I would always say it's a good idea

0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.000
<v Speaker 1>to look at a review site, of which how stuff

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>works is not one UM, but there are other some

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>really great review sites out there that will you know,

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 1>put them against one another head to head. Um Tibo

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.720
<v Speaker 1>always does pretty well those But there are some others

0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>that you know from companies I shan't mentioned because I

0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 1>used to work for them UM, but you know they

0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:15.040
<v Speaker 1>make decent DVRs that that other people do like that.

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Reviewers have have reviewed UM and TiVo has actually had

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 1>partnerships with some companies and then you know in the past.

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Um but yeah, I would I if I were looking

0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 1>at buying a new box right now, I would consider,

0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, the variety. You've got all the different ones

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 1>that your provider might offer. You've got the third party

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 1>like uh TiVo or um oh, digios box, the Moxie,

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and then you have you know, the do what do

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.840
<v Speaker 1>it yourself PC version, and each of them offers something

0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different, and it might be worth checking

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 1>out whether you like the interface and whether you feel

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 1>comfortable doing this. But I think that this is a

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.000
<v Speaker 1>project that people might not necessarily need to be afraid

0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 1>of because it's right. It sounds complex, but it's really not.

0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 1>And keep in mind that if you do it do

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 1>it yourself way, it gives you a lot more options

0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to making changes further down the road.

0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 1>And mostly set top boxes, you you you aren't supposed

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 1>to modify them, so you void, void your warranty, or

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 1>you could possibly really break something or cap. But with

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the PC, I mean you can. Let's say that you realize,

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 1>like if you could buy a ti vo for a

0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.120
<v Speaker 1>certain amount of money and you say, hey that it'll

0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 1>let me store this many hours of programming. Um, whether

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.920
<v Speaker 1>that's standard definition or high definition whatever. But if you

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 1>look at a PC, you can say, well, it really

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.200
<v Speaker 1>just depends on how big the hard drive is, and

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I can always upgrade my hard drive. I can add

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 1>hard drive space or switch it out or whatever. Um.

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 1>You can't really do that with a t VO necessarily,

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:52.120
<v Speaker 1>at least not without avoiding the warranty. So that's one

0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 1>of the other big, big advantages of using a PC

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:59.600
<v Speaker 1>is that it gives you a lot more flexibility. Wow. Yeah,

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I need to run home and start

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 1>recording some television. It's it's a good thing. Record one thing,

0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 1>watch another. Yeah, I'm just staying. I know what show

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:14.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to record? Okay, yeah, it starts on Noah,

0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:21.399
<v Speaker 1>you know what it is? How Stuff Works? Oh, the

0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 1>first promo of How Stuff Works the TV show, except

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.600
