At least my brain won't stagnate! Doing the same old thing, the same way is what causes your brain to stagnate. You need to do things in different ways to keep making new pathways to stop it stagnating. For example, look at how many old people have difficulty driving. They have been doing the same thing for years and it doesn't help. |

At least my brain won't stagnate! Doing the same old thing, the same way is what causes your brain to stagnate. Quite correct, and that is what using a Tivio type unit does, all you do is watch the screen and rather than having to work out what you really want to watch, are there any timing clashes etc. etc. etc. You make my point perfectly!.... You need to do things in different ways to keep making new pathways to stop it stagnating. So, you will stop using your TiVio then, seeing that "Doing the same old thing, the same way is what causes your brain to stagnate", using TV listings, planning multiple recordings (so there are no clashes) and actually having to program the video recorder is far more likely to give ones brain something to do rather than just working out how to press the play back button on a TiVio! For example, look at how many old people have difficulty driving. They have been doing the same thing for years and it doesn't help. Oh right, so you would suggest that they take up formation flying, do something new and all will be well again? You really are proving my point, your brain cell has stagnated, the reason elderly people *sometimes* have difficulty driving (or what ever) is because their brain is literally dying due to old age, OTOH there are many young people with brains that just don't think even though they are in the prime of their lives... |

You don't need to convince me that the Tivo is a very clever device, but for my needs it seems much more clever than it needs to be, as it doesn't do anything that I'm not already perfectly capable of doing myself with hardly any inconvenience at all. If I need it, think my present disk recorders can be set to record the same thing week after week indefinitely, but I don't really see the point of programming years in advance because even the broadcasters themselves don't plan everything that far ahead. I would have agreed with you, and I still prefer my Pace Twin over a Tivo because there's no way the picture quality can be any worse than what's broadcast. BUT I noticed the other day that BBC Four are repeating the Take One Museum series. Unfortunately, I noticed it _after_ they'd repeated the one about the Bradford Film and Television museum. This was the one I heard about on here last time, and most wanted to see! I assume that Tivo would have spotted that I'd recorded the others from the last showing, and grabbed the ones I'd previously missed from the current repeat showings. I think that would be great. If I could teach my Pace Twin that I love "I'm Sorry I haven't a clue" and "The News Quiz", but hate "The Now show" and "quote unquote" that would save a little bit of faffing. A Tivo would learn this very quickly, not that tivo is the ideal way to record radio! Cheers, David. |

Most people use less than 10% of their brain so a lot can die before it is missed. You need to retrain the rest. Doing varied things helps. Going through the same thing setting up manual recordings is unlikely to help. Use the EPG and do something else with the time saved. |

Yeh, like watch the programmes that the TiVio think you ant to watch! In one breath you say that the brain should be made to do things (like working out the programming of, and the set up of, the video recorder to prevent clashes) and in the next you say that one should be using a machine that makes all that needless, you can't have it both ways - unless you're brain dead from allowing your brain to stagnate whilst watching to many programmes recorded on a TiVio! |

A Tivo would learn this very quickly, not that tivo is the ideal way to record radio! TiVo is perfect for recording radio for me. I record from the Sky digibox in 'basic' quality (the sound is unaffected and the picture is unimportant). Season passes for each used to do the trick until Sky made the radio channels 4 digits long, but there's a workaround for that so I can still get exactly what I had before the change. I hate Quote Unquote, but love the others. And there's also The Day The Music Died (returning Saturday), Heresy, All The Way From Memphis and, next Friday sees the return of Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive. -- Dom Robinson Gamertag: DVDfever email: dom at dvdfever dot co dot uk /* http://DVDfever.co.uk (editor) /* 1096 DVDs, 324 games, 228 CDs, 108 cinema films, 34 concerts, videos & news /* pursuit force (psp), the storys, wallace & gromit, broken flowers, 24 game Join the DVDfever.co.uk forum - http://dvdfever.co.uk/phpbb2 New music charts - http://dvdfever.co.uk/music.shtml |
