Best Replacement I have found for Sezmi DVR so far!

The best replacement that I have found for the Sezmi DVR is the Tivo DVR.  The catch is that Tivo charges $20 per month for their programming guide service.  For that price, Cable TV is almost a deal.   However, TiVo has a special offer right now (only through Nov. 15th) that will allow you to activate a box for $9.99 per month instead.  That's only $5 more than the Sezmi service was!   TiVo is better because it gives you everything you had with Sezmi plus Amazon, Netflix, Blockbuster, and Pandora.

Sezmi is discontinuing its consumer service

What does this mean for me?



You will no longer be billed for Sezmi service. As of September 26th, you will no longer be able to utilize the programming guide and your digital media recorder will no longer operate as a recorder. You will be able to view movies and shows you have already saved to your recorder and YouTube access will not be affected. Between now and November 1st, you may rent any movies or shows at no charge to you. After November 1, Sezmi’s On Demand catalog will no longer be available but you will be able to use your Sezmi system to view all programming you have saved to the media recorder.



So, you've just lost your favorite Television accessory - the Sezmi DVR!  What are your choices now?


1) watch TV when your favorite programs are on.  view lots of ads.  hope your show doesn't conflict with bowling night.


2) Get a replacement DVR - Tivo, Channel Master, etc.


3) Build your own DVR using a computer, big hard drive, TV tuner, some software, etc.  Spend lots of time and money working on something that the wife will not be able to figure out how to use. 


What are you going to do?
