140 PiP?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: mbernste

I was at Amazon looking at the specifications for the new 140 hour TiVo. In looking at the specifications, I noticed that the 140 TiVo has picture-in-picture capability (and tiling), while the 80 doesn't. Who is wrong, me or Amazon? My understanding is that there's absolutely no difference between the 80 and 140 except the size of the drive. Is this incorrect?

I also note "Advance Programing 3 Days".

And the maximum recording time is 80 hours (yes, on the 140 hour specs). And the total days of programming is 2 weeks (while the advanced programming is 3 days, as mds says).

The info doesn't sound all that reliable. But it is interesting.

I noticed all of that as well and got a bit confused (not a very hard thing to do ;)). I didn't post about the other discrepencies since the PIP thing is what caught my eye.

edit to cut out reply

-- never mind
the series 2 40 hour unit has the exact same specs on Amazon. I think verification and probably correction of the Amazon specs is in order.

It also has (or hasn't in the case of serial port and channel lock):
"Instant messaging: Yes"
"Interactive television: Yes (capable)"
"Movies on demand: Possibly in the future"
"One-touch recording: Yes"
"Serial port: 0"
"Universal remote included: Yes"
"Channel-block capability: No"

All wrong. I wonder who writes this crap? :rolleyes:
