Are you sure? I thought TiVo and Replay TV were both out before Dish had any pvr capability. |
Tivo, Microsoft, and Replay all showed units at CES in January 1999.
Tivo first shipped in March of '99. The Dishplayer shipped in June of 1999, but only had time shifting at that time - the full PVR capability came later (end of the year?). The PVR capability was there by the time I got mine in early 2000. I'm not sure when ReplayTV shipped to customers.
The Dish PVRs came a couple years later.
