Looking for information / considerations / experience here. I want to
purchase and LCD TV for our living room on a non-expansive budget. I also
want to be able to feed said TV programming not just from an attached DVR and
DVD player (and VCR probably for some stuff), but
I beleive that Apple TV is similar to TIVO which is a type of DVR.
No, Apple TV is much less than it could or should be. It just plays files
you have on disk. It has no recording functions. For that you will have
to go elsewhere.
The apple tv does not also put out 720p in any meaningful way...meaning any
movies you download from itunes or in even the trailers from Apple's own
site. As engadget said in their review, it's not called the Apple HDTV for
a reason.

Tivo and other DVRs get their scheduling information from services
like Tribune. If the programmer doesn't give them updating
information, then these services will not have it either. I like to
check sites like Titantv and Zap2it for my regular tv guide info. My
Tivo makes daily calls for
Tom in this case you and I are both in agreement.
TIVO could have the up to date info if it wanted.

I have TIVO and like it immensely. But it does have one glitch I
found out this weekend. If an event is cancelled and rescheduled it
does not pick it
