Ceton vs. Hauppauge Colossus


Flitterkill

Recommended Posts

Ceton:

Record 4 HD at same time.

Spool out to other networked computers (with ethernet line to router)

NO OnDemand programming (one way only)

$300

 

Hauppauge Colossus:

One signal at a time.

Do get PPV and OnDemand (as you still have the cable box)

$130

 

NOTE: Those suggesting NetFlix to replace OnDemand keep in mind that NetFlix eats gigabytes of 250 gb bandwidth cap and not everything avail on OnDemand is avail on NetFlix. Also $8+/month more.

 

In a few more years this will be all for naught as everything gets pushed over intertubes but for now a hell of a debate.

 

Amazon Prime is fun btw. Especially when *next* day shipping if you order by 6-7pm-ish Eastern costs $3 bucks or less.

 

Had ordered the Ceton, then canceled and ordered Colossus when I remembered someone here watches OnDemand all the time, and now she is wavering and we are are weighing the options, merits, and prices. Also, I can order the Ceton by 7pm tomorrow and have it Saturday morning for $3 shipping. Scary when decisions can be made and results deleived the next day for negligible sums of money (shipping).

 

Thoughts?
