OK.. I now live in Brazil, I have my TIVO here and use it, but no guide data. Not even the capability to set the timezone correctly.
Brazil has come a long way in technology, my cable box (RCA that I cant figure out hot to control) has NTSC output, my plasma TV has NTSC input, in fact I am totally NTSC here. Most TVs are NTSC and PAL-M.
So it does not seem so far fetched to start to market Tivo in Brazil, even if strictly NTSC. All I really need is the guide data and the IR control capability for the cable box. I am in Rio, have Net cable service.
Just a suggestion for a wider market. They are starting to include DVRs in their service. But they are very basic boxes and expensive.
