What's the difference between me clicking on my remote to tell tivo to record for me than me clicking on a button in a web page telling aereo to record for me? It's still being done on request, no?
- icebraining 12y agoAereo controls what gets recorded, TiVo (the company) doesn't. They're not selling an agnostic tool, they're selling the recording of a particular set of channels.
- veritas20 12y agoNot sure that this is true from a technical level, but from a customer level, I actually choose the shows to be recorded in a similar fashion that I would use TiVo. Aereo only records what you schedule to be record when it comes to their DVR portion of the service.
- icebraining 12y agoWhen I mean record, I mean capture and encode the signal. It doesn't have to be viewed asynchronously to be a recording.
- ironchef 12y agoHow does Aereo control what gets recorded? I click to record a show in the interface. That tunes the antenna to that channel at that time and records an individual recording for me.
- icebraining 12y agoBy choosing where to place the antennas.
- ironchef 12y agoChoosing where to place the antennas largely affects the who can sign up for the service. Antenna placement does not cause me clicking "record channel 4 at 7:30 pm" to become "record channel 7 at 9 am". Try again?
