No TIVO here, ever I think, but using the PS3 to watch whatever off Ps3MediaServer
beats having physical disc in drive 99% of time for ease of use & convince.

Blus and DVDs, but I don't watch anything frequently enough to need it
online (like in my house). For new content, it does make some sense,
though, if you don't want to own the content you an download it...but
if I want to watch upstaris rather than down, then I just go get the
disc...I'm not too lazy YET to do that...and it's way better than
having an HD farm that sucking down juice 24/7 (it occurs to me that
cheap HDs make this all too tempting to do, though, so I can get
that). At least to me it is....
I have just started to rip DVD's and toss them on my PC. With Tivo
Desktop plus my TiVo can transfer them over and I can watch very
easilly. Simple things like the 8 second rewind and the tivo remote
controlling it is worth it for me.
