A Tivo is high on my possibility list. I have heard though that they
won't work so well with the variety of cable cards that Comcast uses.
Anyone have any knowledge on that?
Anyone know if TIVO can offload to external hardrives beyond the one
Tivo sells? I am still not sure how I get pre watched stuff for the
kids down to where they can watch it. I suppose I could buy two
TIVO's and just watch it down, but would really rather a networked
solution. I am not sure that TIVO even has a network connection
beyond the one they use to connect to home - that is I don't know if
they make the DVR accessible over the network to the owner.

How much time and effort would you put into this? After some
research and
discussion with someone who had rolled their own (Myth TV etc.) I
figured
out that this would be the only way to get everything I wanted. I also
realized that it was more work than I had time for.
Based on what people told me on this List I decided that the not too
bad
and very easy solution was a Tivo. I've had one for about 2 months
now.
In many ways it is not as good as my old Replay box, but it does
have all
the modern bells and whistles (HD, internet connection, sharing
content
between boxes, media downloads).
