CBS News on the Home Media Option

Larry Magid has a glowing piece for CBS News on the Home Media Option: "TiVo: Endless Entertainment." It mostly focuses on the multi-room viewing option and mentions the slow throughput of 802.11 networking. With an hour of TiVo taking up a Gb of space, moving a 2 hour movie could easily take more than an hour to transfer between boxes wirelessly. He also notes the high cost of this kind of setup. While convenient, it'd run the average person $249 * 2 (for the tivos) + $99 +$49 (for two subscriptions to the HMO) = $650 (ouch!)
