[mythtv-users] Tivo/Yahoo deal - How convenient!

[James C. Dastrup]

Although the Yahoo portal for your Tivo is new, this feature, with the minimum 1-hour in advance, 
has been around for a while at tivo.com.  Slowly, the canned and subscription DVR's are 
listening to what people really want.  But I don't understand why they won't just put a simple 
web interface on their own devices. 
MCE has a similar feature - logon to msn.com and schedule a recording, but no remote access 
directly to your MCE from a browser.
Reasons like this are why we all love our MythTV.

Check out the recent deal to schedule Tivo via Yahoo portal.  Like always, there is some half-assed Tivo catch.   Here is the kicker:

"Sunnyvale, California-based Yahoo advises users to pre-schedule the recordings at least an hour ahead of time if the TiVo box is connected to a broadband connection on their home network, or at least 36 hours if it is connected via dialup."

-How's that for convenience!
