We moved to Sweden a couple of years ago. One of the things that we loved in the UK was our TiVo. Not being able to TiVo Swedish TV has made watching Swedish TV painful. The Viasat+ box we had is dreadful - it's actually worse than the UK Sky+ box it is based on - amazing but true!

This is our journey to a real Swedish TiVo.

In September last year we got Canal Digital . We didn't go for a PVR from them. I intially set up one of our old UK TiVos (Series 1 hardware) to do manual recording, which was ok for a while, but hardly made it easy to watch TV.

Around Christmas we started using a FireDTV card with DVB Viewer . It works well. Ish. The problem isn't the card, or the DVB Viewer. The problem is that it runs on Windows, and Windows crashes, has funnies, and so you can no longer use it. Also, unless the Canal Digital card is in the original box, it doesn't work properly and needs "refreshing" every month. This was fine as a stop-gap, but not long term.

TiVo abandoned the UK years ago, and seem to not want to return. They also are very quiet on the Nero/Tivo LiquidTV system in Europe.

So, the only alternative was to take inspiration from the Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders,  and Dutch, and set about modifying one of my UK TiVos for use in Sweden, complete with listings. The info is out there, but very spread out. This is my attempt to make it easy to get to in one single place for Sweden.
