Great, I have been sucked in to buying a new TiVo. :)

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!
Be aware, that is the model of Tivo that requires two Cablecards, it will not work with a single multistream card.
My aging 5th gen (30GB) iPod won't hold a charge, and now the click wheel is becoming increasingly unresponsive. Worth taking to the Genius Bar to have the battery replaced, or should I just recycle it and buy a new one?
[Feh - And now I've realized it won't sync either - I've got it plugged in now and it's alternating between the apple logo and the sad-face Mac error message.]
[edit2 - Okay, I was able to restore it after all. Fingers crossed it will be able to play music again once it reloads everything!]
Nope. Click wheel still not responding. Time for a new one, I think.
Hmmm, iPad preorders start tomorrow at 5:30 AM Pacific Time. I'm trying to decide if I should set an alarm.
I have mine reserved for pickup! So excited!
Can anyone recommend a good online backup service? I'm paranoid about my laptop AND my external HD going kaplooey, or the house blowing up, or something.
We've been using Mozy, which backs up fine. Haven't had to restore from it yet. Be prepared for the fact that your initial upload of files will take a while. Like, days.
One simple solution to this is to back up to another external HD, and keep the drive locked in a drawer at work.
