I'll have to check out the SF projects above - I hadn't seen them. Don't forget TivoToGo. I just got the update a week or two ago, and I'm loving it. It's just about to the point where it makes upgrading the capacity on the tivo useless (for me at least). I can copy the video to my PC and either burn it to DVD for permanent archival, or just keep it around on my drive since I have ample disk space on my PC. If they can just improve the transfer speed, I'll be happy. Oh, and setting up recordings on-line, from Tivo's site. That's pretty cool. And I just got back from a trip, and I had brought Tivo with me. We usually record a few movies and shows before the trip and bring a couple VHS tapes with. This time, I setup recordings for some shows the rest of my group liked (all I had was pool and a bunch of cartoons from Adult Swim) We even hooked it up in the van (already had a power inverter). Made the 5 hour drive tolerable.
