PB123 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 anyone seen the expander drives for sale??? Here is Bris, there is no stock. I got K.Rudds money burning a hole in my pocket! Jb Macgregor got 6 in on Friday. I bought 2, $240 each. Give them a call, they might still have stock. Good luck.

wrangler Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Sorry, bit off topic, but does the TIVO have AV COMPONENT out. My old TV doesn't have HDMI. Thanks.
petef Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Yes the TiVo has HDMI, Component, S-Video, & Composite. Any more questions can be posted in the Main TiVo Thread, this thread is mainly used for pricing. Also you can find more details about TiVo directly at www.tivo.com.au Peter.

c_b_123456 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Hi DrWorm,Any chance you can sen me a copy of your receipt ? demitriDOTslavo@gmailDOTcom Thanks Hi Guy's, Went into JB asked for Tivo + Wireless @ $600 they agreed = very easy ! Thanks
mr.sneezy Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I got one bundled with the WiFi adapter last night at JB HiFi in Adelaide for $620 after a little negotiation. Quite happy with that deal considering the sticker price of about $760 for both. Also tried the 'Good Guys' for a price comparison, not even close. I didn't need to show a receipt, I just suggested that deals in the Eastern states seemed to be much better than sticker price and the sales guy tapped away on his PDA and came up with that figure. Straight shooting kind of guy too, nice to deal with... Martin PS. Thanks Krudd !
RadioBirdman Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 $490 Good Guys Erina. On special for $499. Noticed about 10 boxes left this morning
Breno Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Just tried JB at Capalaba at $545, the saleperson went away for some time before coming back with no. His best offer was $590 unless I can produce a receipt. Anybody able to help out with that? Cheers

DAZZAR Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 So what is the best price the expander drive has gone for? I saw ($240 above) but the best I can seem to get is $275?
Eggbeater Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 PM sent Can I get a copy of the receipt sent to me as well? Called Good Guys Alexandria today.. They could not do it for $495.. They said blog post not enough 'evidence'.. They did not give me a best price.. JB HiFi Bondi Junction said they would do it for $575.. Thanks
Spero D. Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 $490 Good Guys Erina. On special for $499. Noticed about 10 boxes left this morning Nice price. They have 2 left which I tried to get sent to Adelaide but no joy Someone elses gain as they are clearing them out.

Straight shooting kind of guy too, nice to deal with... Martin PS. Thanks Krudd ! Since I bought the Tivo above, I've been damn impressed by it. It's a very nicely tuned bit of hardware. Everything it say's it's going to do actually seems to happen. My PC illiterate wife (and kids) can record programs just fine without reading the manual, and the web based Yahoo7 record programing is so easy it's stupid. Unfortunately too easy really.... Now we have every episode of 'Cops' being recorded on a Season Pass :-( PS. If you are in Adelaide talk to Steve at JB on Smart Rd at Modbury about a decent price for a bundle. I can't see why anyone needs a copy of a receipt, I didn't.

I can't see why anyone needs a copy of a receipt, I didn't. Just picked mine up today with the help of the above mentioned receipt. The JB sales guy was very good to deal with but he wished he didn't knock me back at $545 two days ago. I ended up getting it a lot cheaper than that. The big question, what are the chances of the HNP going on sale again? At the moment $199 is the only price available, a little steep considering I am a Mac user and have to purchase extra software on top of that as well. I already have Toast 9 but it mentions I need Toast 10, can anyone confirm Toast 9 working with the Aussie Tivo? Big thanks to this forum and the wonderfully helpful members to date, I have read a mountain of info before settling on the Tivo.
Chris McMahon Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 RadioBirdman sent me a copy of his receipt for a TiVo for $490 from The Good Guys. I cleaned it up and posted it here so that others may use it as well. Thanks again RadioBirdman.

I cleaned it up and posted it here so that others may use it as well.Thanks again RadioBirdman. I've included that price in my spreadsheet for PVR comparisons (with dual HD tuners) that I used to decide what PVR to buy: http://www.box.net/shared/8vm08gircs I understand that not everyone will agree with what I think!
RadioBirdman Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 I've included that price in my spreadsheet for PVR comparisons (with dual HD tuners) that I used to decide what PVR to buy: Hi Supercheap, on your spreadsheet under the Tivo "Simultaneous Output -eg. via both HD HDMI and SD AV outputs" I have hooked up the audio left and right and Svideo to my Pioneer DVD recorder input and can record what is playing live or recorded on the Tivo, as well as watch on the Panasonic via HDMI. So you can put a Yes in cell C45

C5 Current Model number is TCD663160 C9 Yes, but require both drives to be connected to a PC first C10 Yes, but only for a week at a time due to the EPG running out. (Movies comments are probably best left for your comments section, also movies may be deleted after 14 days (to make space)) C16 Yes (with HNP), * Windows Media Video (.wmv) * QuickTime Movie (.mov) * MPEG-4/H.264 (.mp4, .m4v, .mp4v) * MPEG-2 (.mpg, .mpeg, .mpe, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpv2) * DivX and Xvid (.avi, .divx) & others with 3rd party apps. C17 Yes (with HNP), MP3 C18 Yes (with HNP), JPG C20 Yes (with HNP), can connect to a PC or Mac C23 Unlimited C27-29 Only with HNP and 3rd party software. C30 Not available on unhacked TiVo HD's (even in the US) C31 Yes, used for connection to PC's, TiVo, Blockbuster etc. C33 Yes C35 No, but Guide can be overlaid C43 No C44 Yes C45 Yes C48 not sure what you mean by "Yes - starts recording again when power resumes if outage is less than 2 hours", the TiVo will start recording once it has rebooted after power has been restored. Even if it is in the middle of a program it will still record what is left. It does not matter how long the outage is, I don't know where the 2 hour outage cam from? The only time it would be an issue is if the outage lasted more than 7 days as the EPG would be expired, and recordings would only resume after it has called home for the EPG and then scheduled the new shows. C49 Fan is variable speed, it never stops, but very quiet even at high speeds. C51 Very good at upscaling, has many other inbuilt applications with more to come. Peter. Edited June 8, 2009 by petef
