I'm not sure how that works. I mean, I have digital cable now and I can still do what you're already doing. I'm not sure if the technology changes when we have to migrate.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Tivo (except for the DirectTivo models, which I think have been discontinued) won't split your signal, so that won't help.
But what I really came in here to post was a link to a 102" plasma TV. (Yes, it's only a prototype. But it's pretty.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, dear. Nobody tell the husband.

Don't worry, it's not for sale.
Yet.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Well, technically, the DirecTiVo's won't split your signal, either. It's just that we pay extra to have another line run from the dish. We do get the functionality you're talking about, but it's not the TiVo that's doing it.
So far as I understand it.
Which is, I know, completely useless to your question, sumi. I dunno the real answer to your question.

Art Crawl!!!
I guess the other part of my question is this:
on the analog side if I pre-program my vcr to record, I can watch something else while it tapes whatever I programmed -- no need to split the signal to do that. I was told when I got digital that this isn't possible.
Is this still likely to be true when we're all digital?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Sumi, I can do that and I have digital. But the second channel has to be via antenna. That's with Tivo, btw, but would be the same with a vcr as far as I can tell. If I actually did split the signal it might work for any channel, I think.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Motorola iTunes phone will be announced today. It could be in stores later this week.
Nothing on the Apple site yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, if I'm selling my old computer and I want to really get my documents off it, what do I do? Defrag after deleting? Something else?
