Interested in some advice from older TiVo users. I just today called me local cable company and ordered TiVo. For now, I will be using the cable company TiVo device and TiVo Mini. Down the road, I will see how I like it and maybe look into buying myself a higher grade TiVo.
The main reason I ordered TiVo is because the Magnavox HDD-DVDR I have owned for the last few years stopped working, and I do record a lot of movies
My tv habits are pretty narrow - Turner Classic, Encore Westerns and Fox Movie Retro. Occasionally I record from the Sony movie channel or the MGM movie channel. My television taste runs almost exclusively to old movies - I rarely watch any movie made after the mid 1960's. I also watch a lot of football in the Fall.
Using my laptop computer, I follow baseball on MLB.com and do watch old movies on Amazon Instant streaming, Hulu, and there are a lot of interesting documentaries I watch on YouTube.
Given these tastes, I anticipate that for me, TiVo may end up mostly just being a replacement for my broken HDD-DVR.
I would be interested in using TiVo to watch ball games from MLB.com on a larger screen and the occasional movies and documentaries Amazon's instant streaming, Hulu and YouTube. But, it is my understanding that because my local cable company only has a contract with Netflix, I may not be able to access MLB.com, Hulu, or Amazon Instant through TiVo. I am not even sure about YouTube, I think I will be able to access it, but am not sure.
Does anyone know if I am correct in my understanding? When renting TiVo from a local cable company, how much internet related content can you actually watch? And how does it compare to what you have access to when you buy you're own TiVo?
