The ad is obtrusive though, if they could make it only across the bottom or the top it would be much better, it does interfere with your ability to see when to stop fast forwarding.

Mine hangs a lot moving through the menus. Since T2G transfers at such a slow rate, I don't use that much. I'll take my old version back, thank you. I was wondering if I was the only one.

Just... wow.I just got done visiting tivocommunity.com and people there are pretty pissed off. I'm glad I have DirecTiVo which, if they ever start pushing it to us, at least it won't be right away.

I just got done visiting tivocommunity.com and people there are pretty pissed off. I’m glad I have DirecTiVo which, if they ever start pushing it to us, at least it won’t be right away.

I like T2G but the update to 7.x has really introduced bad lags into the user interface.

But most people find that an htpc is far more expense and hassle than its worth.Fun project if your a techie though.as far as the ads go, I would suggest people wait until they experience them before they get thier undies in a bundle.The alternative is for the big media corps to fight against PVRs and make it so any legit PVR manufacture can't fast forward though comercials at all. Not saying they could do this, but they certainly will try.-SM That a great alternative for some. But most people find that an htpc is far more expense and hassle than its worth.

Fun project if your a techie though.
