Philips HDR112 Tivo Digital Video Recorder
Keen idea, but a big disappointment
Well, the promises for ultimate control over watching television were certainly alluring enough to make the purchase of this rather-strangely designed machine (why does the faceplate remind me of HAL in  2001?).<br />Unfortunately, what I got was a lot more than I asked for: a  monthly fee, artificial intelligence that 'watches' what I watch &amp;  attempts to make 'suggestions' based on the widely-varying viewing habits  between myself and my flat-mate.<br />The interface is rather posh - I just  wish that they had put the time &amp; the effort used to make the swanky  interface with groovy colours into a user interface that wasn't so  convoluted.<br />Looks like I'm going to the ReplayTV camp...
