RE: The decline and fall of TiVo and Media Center

@jrumor

I use Windows Media Center to complement Netflix and Hulu. I don't have cable TV, just high speed cable modem service, and with an HDTV tuner card in my PC, I record HDTV shows over the air that aren't part of Hulu, e.g., CBS and PBS.

The other nice thing is using the XBox360 as a media extender to watch all the content I've recorded. Friends are often "blown away" by my setup. What I've found is there's still a hefty amount of ignorance when it comes to these choices. More than once I've talked to people who pay for DVR functionality (cable provider, TiVo) when they don't need to.
