ReplayTV? (inspired by Cynthetiq) - Tilted Forum Project - TFP - Sexuality, Philosophy and Political Discussion

Ok, so -Ever- has a thread about TiVo. I am interested in ReplayTV. I like the look of the interface more than TiVo, like the fact that it has a progressive output, its streamability, and how you can set records from the internet. Has anyone here had any experience with Replay? Any input would be much appreciated.

C'mon... you're tellin' me that not ONE of 35,000 some members has a ReplayTV? Help me out here!!

I had one about 2 years ago but it crapped out after 6 months of use and then they wanted me to pay another $150 to get it fixed... It made a nice paperweight.....

I have a RTV 5040 which I believe is the old generation. I probably can't help you too much with the advance functionality since I use it primarily as a glorified VCR. What I can say is that both TiVo and RTV are great products that will likely change the way you watch TV. For me, I love commercial skip, pause live TV, and just being able to watch my favorite show whenever I want.

I have a RTV5508 - with the 80 Gig HD... I love it... I use the DV Achive program to archive my DV

The time will soon be here that I'll be buying my Replay. I'll probably get the 40 hr. model, as I won't be around much to watch TV, and there is only a handful (like 4) programs that I care to watch. I've done a lot of sniffing around the AVS Forum on hacks and stuff you can do to them. I'll probably be using the DV Archive program a good deal. I also found info on how to re-image the HDD on a 5500 series model to that of a 5000 series model to get the Commercial Advance feature back.
