Sirius to Launch Time-Shifting Satellite Radio That Also Records

I’ve been working on my Project Notebook part two on installing a satellite radio. For Part One, click here. Meanwhile, RealTechNews reader Justin pointed out a posting on Engadget of a new Sirius Sportster that boasts TiVo-like time shifting and the ability to record. Very cool.

“So the hot new feature on this Sirius satellite radio receiver is the ability to record and time-shift programs for later listening, courtesy of some built-in memory that will hold up to 44 minutes worth of content. The unit itself has also been redesigned with sleekness in mind, includes an FM transmitter and a new antenna, and will reportedly be available next week.” Source: Engadget via Justin

Alice’s Take: I love it but it took so long for my cheapo base unit to get here, don’t hold your breath on seeing one soon.

    Why is it that the simple act of recording is now called time-shifting?

    Conventional recording does not allow you to come in 15 minutes late to a TV/Radio program and watch the show as if you had arrived “on time” — in essence shifting the programming schedule by 15 minutes. To do that you need to be able to view the program from the recording source while recording is in progress. VCRs record, you can watch the TV while you record, you can watch the VCR tape after the program is over, but you can’t watch the tape while the tape is being recorded. Hence time-shifting. Of course, you could argue that watching the tape after the show is over is just extreme time-shifting. Uh oh, now we’ve got two buzzwords together!
