I’m already standing in line for an Apple DVR
This patent application by Apple regarding their research into digital video recorder (DVR) technologies has me salivating. If you know me at all, you know how much I love my TiVo. And yet, were Apple to build a DVR, I would happily back over my TiVo on the way to the nearest Apple Store. I'm just saying. In case Apple is listening.
I can comment on this one-- I have DishDVR and it is great and wonderful too. It costs 50 bucks to activate the USB port to offload recording. It's not wifi. I can buy their 4-500 dollar dedicated mobile viewer (actually not that bad).Apple's thing, I can't even remeber other than it was less than a sucess. I believe it came out in a new incarnation.
Apple DVR is called (searches apple site)...How ingeniuos they call it Apple TV.
After looking at the rumor. It would be nice to dock a itouch or iphone with a DVR.
DishDVR has this and the hardware. Costs would be similar on the Apple DVR. Would you get it with an upgrade to a satelite system? Cable modem? Ethernet?
THere are several markets to look at.
Yea, I would buy one , once the first generation comes through with the bugs. That's my style....
