TiVo
Anyone interested in TiVo should also be looking at
ShowShifter at www.showshifter.com! It should
fit
into a serious HA setup quite easily - especially where a node 0
implementation is being used. Finally, it's cheap (excluding the
hardware which you probably have some of already).
Integrated with DigiGuide 5 (which is in Beta) it will
allow
you to set the recorder over the web just by right clicking a programme in
digiguide and choosing the appropriate menu selection. There's some
really cool stuff happening in the PVR market right now.
