It looks like if you really want to get the latest TiVo sooner than later, you need to skip the source and go to a store. According to HDBeat, they ordered the TiVo Series3 DVR 15 minutes after the unveil last Tuesday with 1 day shipping. Unfortunately, it is now 1 week later and the shipping time has now extended to 5-7 days!
After day 3, a mass email went out to everyone that had ordered through the online TiVo store letting people know that the orders are delayed.
The Geeks think you should check the big name electronics store such as Best Buy, Circuit City or even Newegg if you want the machine rather than going through TiVo’s online store.
There is nothing worse than being an early adopter who cannot get your hands on the newest toy!

With football season officially started, the Geeks thought it was prudent to check up on Sling Media and their award-winning Slingbox. In case you don’t know, Slingbox allows you to control your TV from anywhere. Rather than simply timeshifting TV watching with a Tivo you can placeshift.
Besides expanding into other markets such as Hong Kong, Sweden, Japan, UK and Canada, Sling Media has been updating software and adding more platforms where you can watch your TV.

Ugh. Royal Philips Electronics has devised an invention that would prevent TV viewers from switching the channel during commercials or fast-forwarding past commercials when watching DVR content. Viewers would have the option to get out of the freeze by paying a fee. Broadcasters would have the option to implement this technology on a per-program basis, and the ability would have to be included inside the viewer’s set-top box.
