Just a reminder if you want to, to set the VCR's or turn the TV on to CBS for the "Official" unveiling of the Houseguests tomorrow on The Early Show. :)

Actually Ketchup. Cox Kansas' digital onscreen shows the Early show as being on at 8 Central. Could be wrong.

I thought I had a decent VCR but it won't record. :( There are going to be times I miss BB3. This may not belong in this thread but can anyone tell me if TiVo is worth it? Or would it be more economical to just get another VCR? Thanks,

Jade

Some love TIVO, my brother has it and he doesn't even have cable, but you might need to be a bit "techy" to get the full use of it.

and its not a one time buy, its a monthly charge if I remember right.

You could but a CHEAP vcr for like $70 or less, TIVO is gonna run you a lot more than that.

Well I am far from being a techy. I am interested in learning more about TIVO. I went to its site. Didn't understand all the costs. I might be better off buying a cheap VCR. Thanks for the info Ryn.

I'd personally go with the VCR- they're so cheap now that everyone is buying DVD instead. I've never known anyone with TiVo and don't really understand how it works, but a VCR seems a lot more economical. Especially if you wouldn't need to tape every episode.

During the fall I usually have 6 or 7 shows programmed in to tape weekly because I work at night. Plus I can tape one show while watching another- I don't know if TiVo does that or not because, again, I know nothing about it.

Just a little info on pricing. A TiVo box (the receiver with a spacious computer hard drive for storing shows) ranges in price from $300 to $600. To make the box work, TiVo sells software and a program guide that let customers record selected shows--for either a onetime cost of $249, or $9.95 a month.

And if you are not careful, it will pick the strangest shows to record for you. But its great when you get it set up right.

Robbien,

That sounds pretty cool. Could you please email me when you have a chance and let me know what a decent price would be (middle of the road) and talk a bit more about it?

Thanks, I truly appreciate it. :)

Jade, I don't have a TIVO, but have been interested in one so have been asking questions myself. Right now I have decided to wait because I read somewhere that TIVO might be running out of money unless it can increase its subscribers list. So I am on a wait and see mode.

There is also something called Replay I think. It's the same as TIVO, but you don't have to buy the extra stuff. Someone from another board had one and she loved it. It has the same features as TiVo. (Seasons pass, etc.) I think it was also around $400-500. It's all digital, and you can record up to 30 hours of stuff. (But you can only tape 1 thing at a time.)

I'm in Central Time zone. Looks like no east coasters are up yet.

Tapping foot, watching the Early Show. Forty minutes into the show they still have not even mentioned Big Brother. The CBS BB website is still empty as well.

Maybe next hour.

I'm watching and nothing yet. They haven't mentioned BB in any of the previews yet. Where are they??????

Just checked the CBS site and it is still BB2 info.

Do we have the wrong day?

Demeter

Ok, another commercial break coming up...still no mention of BB.

The CBS BB3 website says the info will be available today.

Not even any BB commercials during the break!

Nick, are you on the East Coast? We still have another hour of Early Show here in the Central Zone.

The website is up! http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother3/

It does not yet have the house tour or the options for chat, etc.

Mygetaway, are you sure they said today? The Early Show just ended here, nothing.
No mention of it next week either, very strange.

Has anyone else noticed that Big Brother is one of the least hyped shows EVER??
Or is this my imagination?

I wonder if we had the day wrong...maybe it will be Monday or Tuesday to hype the first show.

I'll bet the news overrode their time slot... with the El Al shooting and the plane that went down on the picnic. Just got bumped... that's all
