Hmm; interesting. I may be willing to live with that, since the TiVo is so bloody *cheap*, but it's good to know about the downsides. Thanks!
I'm contemplating the PC option -- one of these days I'm going to upgrade the main desktop, and I'm thinking about getting a serious Media Center machine. But that has its own problems, and I haven't decided whether I want to deal with them or not. (Frankly, I'm not sure I want to go to the work of designing The One True Setup -- if I go this route, I'm going to wind up doing a whole bunch of research for it. The TiVo option, while limited, is appealingly easy.)
