In reply to:
I haven't seen the RePlay TV software
Not much point continuing with this thread then, eh?
I HAVE seen the replay software, as well as the hardware implementations... The panasonic POS for one. I still don't think it's a match for 2.0.1 of the TiVo service. Of course, it's pretty off topic here anyways, and I really don't want to get into a war over who is better. I also realize that as a SB employee, if you openly indicate a competitor as better it might cause some ripples...
My whole point on this was the statement "Widely considered to be better". In the circles I've read/listened and viewed, it's exactly the opposite. My own experiences with both also reflect this.
I do agree with you in the UI being an apple and orange situation, in relation to the empeg.
Unless 1.1 is going to be including that functionality as well?
(couldn't resist.)
