Bad Review for New Tivo ToGo
From today's Washington Post. Among other complaints:
"Transferred TiVo recordings play back in Windows Media Player. They looked and sounded fine when played in full-screen mode, save a rare outbreak of blotchiness caused by TiVo's video-compression routines.
"But Windows Media Player is missing two key features. When you scan forward or backward in a recording, you can't see the footage flashing past, as you would on a VHS or DVD recording; you have to guess how far you've moved before resuming playback. And you can't bookmark a spot in a recording to watch later."
Love Tivo, but sounds like I could live without this. A better idea, as the author suggests, is get the TiVo with the built-in DVD recorder. That'd be pretty sweet.
