You can buy Tivo in Canada now. I got mine at The PVR Source in Calgary. Their site is http://www.thepvrsource.com if anyone is interested. Awesome customer service and they offer a full warranty. Highly recommend them.

I’m kind of stymied at the moment, Ronald. There’s only one over the air HD channel here in Ottawa. I really want a satellite PVR with the capabilities of TiVO. Make sense?

Since you admit that you're a geek: get a mythtv setup. http://www.mythtv.org...

I'm sure the dogs would love it if you took up jogging!

I’ve mentioned this to you before, but if you bought a ReplayTV 5K series–contact me if you want one–you can run a simple program on a networked Windows box called WiRNS. You can then feed your ReplayTV Canadian listings through WiRNS. If you want more info, let me know. It ISN’T that difficult.

Maybe you should start watching TV again. There’s is a great new Saturday morning lineup on CBS. Check it out http://www.secretslumberparty.com

Hey Alec,

You know you can get TiVo in Canada…I pay around $10/month for the service. The box was free.

Here’s a blurb by TiVo on Canadian service:

Anyways…back to work.

Yeah… there are two things preventing me from doing this. #1 I really don't want any more complication in my life. I am already admin for 9 PC's, a PBX, a digital Jukebox, and a bunch of wireless network devices in my house. #2, now that I have HD, I want an HD PVR. TiVo has one, I've just found out, but only compatible with cable, not satellite. Perhaps it's time to investigate again.

Hmmm. I wonder if there's a way to hook up a treadmill to my computer…

Still a mouse potatoe,
