Is the DVD recorder option worthwile? Is there an easier (or cheaper anyway) way to get the content off to a PC? Once on a PC it could be recorded w/ a ~$50 DVD-RW drive..
But TiVo (read: the MPAA) probably doesn't let you do that easily. So what's the deal, you copy to DVD and then do whatever you like w/ it? Or are the DVD's you end up w/ 'special' DVDs that contain some sort of TiVo DRM system on them?
GF's getting TiVo for xmas (gift from her mum). I may have to read up on that.. maybe it's worth the extra scratch.

i have seen 40 and 80 hours ones with dvd records for a while now. did you hear bout them teaming up with yahoo to where you will be about to pick shows to record anyone you can access the internet that should be cool.
