I like my TiVo but this is cool too!
I haven't bought my copy yet and I hope to before the week is out but you should also check out Snapstream PVR software. It is very impressive on TV but so was Visual Communicator and that sucks. Snapstream is just software, you get the TV Tuner Card, and you supply a PC Remote. Thats it. You can then record mpeg-2 video with HTTP scheduling and no service contracts or bill. Check out the video at http://www.cnet.com/video/download/snapstream/.
