I'll add this to my (horribly long) list. Good idea though, but unless
it's easy to achieve I've already got waaaaayyyyyy too many things to

Well I think I am using VCR out, but it definitely records all
interaction on the box, including menus, TiVo sound bloops and other
on screen stuff. I've seen that myself when checking the recording
