what's the difference with a "Rivo" system??

It makes espresso versus coffee, it also has an attached milk frothee for lattes and cappuccinos. Best ever. It alsouses different coffee pods.

The Rivo uses special Lavazza espresso pods whereas the Keurig K cups are drip coffee. This machine is for espresso (lattes, cappuccino, etc)

There are 2 differences with the Rivo system from the regular Kuerig systems. The first difference is that it does not use a k-cup; the second difference is that there is a cup for milk that is frothed so that you can make a latte or cappuccino. It is a very simple system and makes very good coffee. My wife loves it!

Rivo allows you to froth your own real milk products... No milk pods. This is an amazing product! We have had ours for a year now and absolutely love it!

With the Rivo system you can brew excellent cappuccinos and lattes using the high pressure that it affords. The cappuccinos made with the Kcup system are not good. We bought both units that serve our coffee habits perfectly. Enjoy!

Hello, I remember choosing between the two as well. What I found out is it was the same (tray load). Its lower price is due to the fact that it doesn't come with the Multimedia Suite, which I didn't want anyway.

Your best bet is to check out the Tivo Community web sitehttp://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/There are gobs of forums (fora) dealing with all sorts of Tivo matters. It's also independent of Tivo so you get the straight talk you need.

Tivo, like any DVR, requires a subscription fee to make it work. You can pay one fee that's good for the lifetime of the unit (not your lifetime), or a yearly fee, or a monthly. I've had Tivos for 10 years and it is SO much better than the DVR available from the cable company - very sophisticated, very easy to use, and in my opinion, very much worth it.

I have found that 1 shot of espresso with the Rivo System is equivalent to a shot from "Starbucks". I found that I could if in a pinch, to use the same pod twice. But it sounds like you r like me & perfer "full flavor".... 3 shots, 3 pods.

That's interesting. I wonder why it's called a DVR. I actually had the same question as Dennis, thanks for your reply.OK. I just got off the phone with tech at Archos and both the home and travel DVR do record from TV, VCR and DVD player. The main difference is the Home DVR dock is not travel friendly because of size/weight and there is no "s" plug on the travel dock.

With the new GUI, it is now required. You can access it with FF, but the streams don't work right- or at all depending on settings and version. Chrome, on the hand, works perfectly. I wouldn't let the need for chrome deter your interest in this NVR- they really work awesome!

Yes, this model does NOT operate on a paid subscription like Tivo. You can set the DVR to record based on a start/stop times or more easily, you can just use the Channel Guide grid that shows the different upcoming programs & choose what you want to record from there. The Channel Guide pulls information that over-the-air broadcasters transmit along with the channel...usually 1-3 days worth of information. The week-long "TV Guide" service that this model offered is no longer functional because the service provider Rovi no longer transmits this data. I read that this service was being phased out (or more accurately, not being renewed) in all markets by March/April 2013. Yes, this model does NOT operate on a paid subscription like Tivo.

This is the latest model, however, you cannot stream when away from your home network. Only the newest TiVo Roamio DVR's let you stream outside of your home network, those DVR's do not require the separate Stream box. TiVo is saying that outside network streaming coming to this device in a software update. You can download shows to a device to watch once you leave your home network.

The system is about as low tech as it can get ant there doesn't seem to be a reason for any dramatic change. I've been using it for about 30 years and the only change is the addition of a handle. My guess is, the only difference is the 2 extra filters.

Edward... it's been too long ago... I really don't know the difference now... I will say that the system didn't last very long... It was the first time that a Panasonic product let me down...Hope this is helpful...Walt.

The connections on the back of DVR are standard BNC connectors, which are typical of most cameras. If not sure - look up pictures of BNC connectors on a web browser. I do have one color IR outdoor camera connected on my system

I don't know the difference but I was not able to get this device working at all. I pitched mine in the trash after trying to get it working with the software for weeks.

You don't need this filter unless you want to install a MoCA into your home system. Since you're only going to use the Roamio on one TV (no TiVo Mini), you don't need the MoCA system and, so, no filter.

Response time is much better. I also have both. The new slide uses the same transmission method used for all other TiVo buttons not the separate Bluetooth path.

The switch seems to handle the three POE ip cams i have installed just fine. "foscams" Which cameras are you going to use? I also have Blue IRIS insalled on a PC. Blue Iris does a decent job at managing the cameras, but i have noticed that performce is weak when trying to do continues recording from 3 cameras. Some of that may be the pc im using but i am unwilling to invest in a new computer for just the purpose of running the cameras. There is not a lot of documentation with the software and its not very intuitive. I have 4 total and it will work with a wide verity of cameras. I dont have any experience with NVR's. I have looked into them but they seem pretty pricy. If you have not bought any cameras or equipment yet, I would strongly point you in the direction of CCTV systems. You can easily get a system for the same cost of buying 4 POE cameras. I wish someone had told me this before i got started. You will still be required to pull the cable to cameras either way. I think the upside with CCTV would be that the dVR is doing all the recording continusly. They do a great "Superior" job at what they are designed to do. PC based systems are kind of shakey at this price point. In most cases you can record up to two weeks worth at a time, with several cameras with a DVR system and have alerts sent and motion triggers. I have seen the difference in between my setup and two different CCTV systems. One of them "lorex" and the second "swan" If I had it to do all over again i would go with CCTV. Id buy a 4 camera set with a dVR with room to expand up to 8 cameras. I started with one camera and now have four. Its good to have room to grow. Just FYI I have seen a 4 camera setup with 4, 700 lines of resolution cameras for less or close then what your going to spend on POE. One last note you will also be able to remote monitor with your smart phone or web browser just like using POE and Blue Iris. More info then you wanted I know, but just my 2 cents!

You use a web page to control Rovio, and IE or Firefox or Chrome should work for that. There is also an Andriod app to control it. You do have to connect and setup the Rovio before you can get that from http://www.wowwee.com/en/support/rovio - the software runs on Win7
