[Electronics-Talk] searching for Tivo unit

[Jim Barbour]

In the spirit of other things to save your pennies for, an apple TV is another, though different, entertainment option.

Despite it's name, it is not a TV.  It is a set top box.  It is designed to play video from several different online sources such as iTunes, Netflix, Hulu, along with several network stream sites like CBS all access.

Unlike your TIVO, It is not a DVR.  It doesn't receive TV from your cable or satelite and record them.

Hope this helps,

Jim

One wish-list item I did not get is an accessible Tivo unit. If anyone has suggestions for what I might save some pennies for in the coming months, please send them on. I don’t use a smartphone, and don’t have my computer in a very comfortable TV-watching place, so am looking for something I can hook up to my TV somehow, and that would, of course, do TTS, since I am totally blind. I saw that the website gives very good instructions for getting started—but was not able to find out a model # and name of an appropriate unit. Thanks!
