We got something similar to TIVO, it's the same kind special receiver (on Bell expressVu service though). Kind of expensive though.

My parents are using StarChoice, but we just have chosen like 30-ish channels (plus digital music) and I don't have it in my room :(

However I have Global and they don't :p

Ku'u, it works for anything on TV. In fact, you can tell it to look for anything with a specific actor, director, etc. and automatically record it for you.

This is the one equinoxe3d was referring to. Waaaaaay too much money :eek:

Especially considering I got 2 regular dish/receiver systems from them for $199 , came to $99 after the programming credit.

edit - to clarify, 1 dish, 2 receivers.

And equinoxe, you're happy to have Global??? :confuse3: :laugh:

it's $199. for curent customers, ususally $299.

Ohhhh yeah :D

Nothing like (nearly) 4 hours straight of Simpsons re-runs on Saturday afternoon :headbang: I wish I had more English channels to watch though (only Global and *ugh* CBC here).

But like Gonz said, with Dish or cable or whatever I think it often narrows down to x channels of nothing...
